project: photobooth love !
b and i are no strangers to photo booths! we jump in and take some shots whenever we can. some of our favorite hangouts happen to have booths, and one of our friends (who is also the fellow who introduced us!) is an awesome photo booth artist.
a recent strip, and a couple of older strips as well!
having a real, old fashioned photo booth was one of my priorities (after venue, food, music and regular photography). i really wanted a black and white booth that would spit out at least one copy of photos (preferably two). unfortunately, renting such a contraption here in LA was out of our budget. like, waaaaay out of our budget! we could have rented a digital booth for about half the price, but that just didn't sit well with me. i don't like the typical 2x2 print style - if I cant have an old fashioned photo strip, i don't want anything!
after pouting over the cost for a while, i started noticing really cool DIY photo booths. set up a tripod, hang up a sheet, grab a couple of props and you are good to go. i didn't want to take on the entire project, however, so i contacted our photographer to see if she could set something up for us. luckily, she could! check out an awesome example of jordana's photo booth skills here.
since we can't afford the real deal, this is a seriously awesome substitute. in some ways i feel like you can be much more creative with your own photo booth setup! i am trying to personalize it as much as possible. we have an assortment of props, and a chalkboard/whiteboard. i am trying to construct a background that can easily be changed. i want to have a few fabrics hanging (like in a real photo booth) so that guests can choose. maybe one printed background and one plain. i really like these fabrics from ikea:

i hope that our guests spare a minute to have their photo taken, and that the kids aren't too shy to pop in! i am making table signs to remind people where the booth is located, and to help encourage them to check it out and get creative!
did you have a DIY (or rented!) photo booth or are you planning one out now? what unique props and ideas did you come up with?

project: engagement photo shoot !
our engagement photos are in, and we couldn't be happier about how they turned out. they are exactly what we wanted. jordana is amazing. seriously, spectacular!
please note that i am laughing in almost every single photo. i could not keep a straight face throughout the entire shoot. even if it appears that i am smiling, i'm not. this is mid-laugh.
go see jordana's very nice blog about us with all of the pictures posted. and see our favorites below! enough words:
we had our photo shoot on valentines day, which happened to be the only sunny, beautiful day all week. we definitely lucked out, the rain in the days before made everything lush and green (and wet and slippery on our hike, but it was worth it). we wanted to be somewhere woodsy (and jordana knew just the right spot) and somewhere a bit unusual and unique. the cemetery turned out to be perfect. and we saw two furry graveyard cats! my favorite.
we will be using one of these photos for our save the date cards. not sure which, but that is my project for tomorrow. we want to get them in the mail by the end of february. i am armed with a gocco, a corner cutter, and many different colors of cardstock. i know it's gonna happen, someday.
