DIY Photo Booth

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/08/wedding-photo-booth-apple-macbook-mac.html

DIY photo booth, using Macbook and Ikea curtains, is a big hit on the big day

David Cline, a 19-year-old university student in the Philadelphia area, used his computer wizardry to give his sister a fantastic present for her wedding.
She had wanted to get a photo booth for the reception, so that guests could take home photo-strip mementos of the occasion and she could have copies of the images for her own picture album. But renting a digital booth -- like the ones used in arcades that have also become popular for special occasions -- for a day would have cost nearly $2,000.
Instead, David cleverly used his Macbook laptop, a $99 printer, an old wardrobe frame and some Ikea shower curtains for a do-it-yourself photo booth.
On his blog, you can see a video of it in operation on the big day.
He programmed the computer (using the free Automator program that comes with late-model Macs) so that guests were prompted to enter their names on the laptop. Three pictures were taken, which were printed on a strip to take home. The pictures were also saved on the computer for his sister.
Judging by the video, guests sometimes took the opportunity to make goofy poses, just like in a real photo booth, and all seemed to be having a good time. Maybe more so than just posing for a photographer.
Cline is distributing the program he used on his site for a donation of any size. And by the way, his DIY photo booth is available for rent in his area. He's also a DJ and a freelance violinist who will play for special occasions.
This guy knows how to party.

PhotoBooth

http://partybooths.com/partyboothsrates.html

Check out Party Booth photos! Photo booths for weddings, etc.

We offer two different sized photobooths to choose from. Our Classic Booth is similar in size to traditional photobooths of old. It really works best with individuals and couples, but it will also handle smaller groups of up to three or four people if they squeeze together.
Our Contemporary Booth is bigger and is well suited for weddings in that it can handle larger groups nicely, yet it still produces properly composed portraits for couples.
All of our rentals include unlimited photo booth sessions. Each session takes four pictures which are then printed moments later on a single 4x6 index print for your guests to keep. Additionally, all of our rentals include a photo booth attendant who will be present during the entire rental period to help your guests operate and enjoy their photo booth experience.

Megan and Jon's Wedding

http://saycheese.redloftstudios.com/2008/04/14/megan-jons-backyard-fiesta/

Congrads to Megan and Jon who got married this past weekend! They had a beautiful intimate wedding in Claremont. Check out some of there photos in the above link. Both Megan and Job are graphic artists, so as you can imagine their wedding and reception was beautiful.

Red Loft Studios was the photographer, they did excellent work! Not only did there photos come out amazing, but they worked quickly and got wonderful shots without ever being in the way. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you for letting me part of your special day!

Bobbi and Mike

I had the great pleasure of meeting Bobbi at the WPPI conference in Las Vegas this month. Her work is amazing. Although she is based out of Indianapolis, she travels free in the winter months for weddings. Something about snow and cold weather scares off the brides out there! She is a lot of fun and will make you completely relaxed on your wedding day.
