The Live Photobooth

A beautiful wedding. An even more beautiful bride and groom with a very enjoyable group of friends and family. As always, we are so pleased that the bride and groom (+guests)  took full advantage of the photo booth – a great series of photos. Lots and lots of fun.

A fun way to spend an evening: A photo booth at The Paradise Valley Country Club. I think we have just as much fun as the wedding guests do. Everyone is smiling, laughing, joking – the fun is very contagious!

A beautiful wedding by the super talented Lauren Crump of Victoria Canada Weddings and Events. So glad we could be part of the festivities!

Thanks Christina and Tommy for including us on your wedding day!

Last week the photo booth was at El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley. A beautiful ceremony, a very lovely bride and groom, a warm group of family and friends, and a gorgeous reception were the perfect mix for an evening of fun.

Amy Mancuso did an amazing job – a successful afternoon and evening at one of my now favorite spots to have a wedding. The photo booth was the perfect fit.

Venue: El Chorro Lodge

Darcy + Chuck are such a fun, sweet couple. We are so happy to have had the pleasure of being part of their special day. Thank you Victoria of Victoria Canada Wedding and Events for including us!

It must give a wedding coordinator a heart attack when the weather forecast changes mid week and is now calling for high wind and rain. But I guess one of the reasons you hire the best coordinator in the valley is that you trust she will figure things out.

And she did.

The forecast did not disappoint. Very high winds and torrential downpours. But, Victoria handled the crisis with grace and ease – and lots of solid planning. You would never know looking at these pictures that: A. we were still outside in a covered courtyard B. the main tent that covered the reception area was about to blow away at any moment C. the wind and rain were absolutely crazy! D. the bride and groom and all of their guests never even seemed to notice. Fun was had by all!

Saturday night at The Royal Palms was such a hoot. This crowd knew how to have a good time!

As the saying goes, Everything’s Bigger in Texas – and this destination wedding was all that – an evening full of big smiles, big personalities and big on fun!

Thank you Michelle from Your Heart’s Desire Weddings and Events for thinking of us. The Live Photobooth was a perfect fit for this super fun wedding party!

This past Saturday, The Live Photobooth had the good fortune of being part of Breanne and Chris’ wedding party at the Phoenix Art Museum! What a party!

This gorgeous event was orchestrated by Victoria Canada of Victoria Canada Weddings and Events. From the first pop of the flash, we were busy all night long.  Such a lively group of wedding guests. This crowd was a laugh from the get go. I always love it when the bride and groom are able to find the time in their hectic evening to participate a bunch in the photo booth – and Breanne and Chris joined their friends and family multiple times throughout the night. And we were able to capture some really great stuff.

I love the back stories behind some of the images. Lots of fun anecdotes. Lots of animation. Lots of enthusiasm. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Congratulations Breanne and Chris!

I have to say, the weather on Saturday night was just perfect. When you book an outdoor job in Arizona for the beginning of the Summer you have no idea if it is going to be blazing hot or just hot. Fortunately, it was ideal.

This past Saturday, the Live Photobooth was on the covered patio that overlooks the reflecting pool at the Royal Palms Resort – the perfect shady spot to capture the friends and family of this beautiful wedding party.

Another lovely wedding organized and orchestrated by Victoria Canada Weddings and Events. It is always such a pleasure to work with Victoria, Lauren and the wonderful team that make every wedding such a successfully unique event.

The bride made a beautiful selection when she chose this raspberry and gray patterned backdrop – I just love the way it complemented her wedding colors.  A simply lovely affair organized and orchestrated by the one and only Victoria Canada Weddings and Events.

If you can’t tell from perusing the photos, this was a jovial group that was having a blast from the minute they entered the reception (think YOU TUBE entrance, each couple out doing the other when they were announced), to the best man’s speech that encouraged guest participation (very funny!) to the hilarious photo booth interactions!

But looking at these fun pictures from last Saturday’s photo booth at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch and you would never guess 3 things:

1. we were outside adjacent to a beautiful swimming pool and a lake

2. there were wind gusts that felt like 60 mph – in all directions

3. we were hanging on to the backdrop so that it didn’t go sailing into either the pool or the lake or into the middle of the beautiful wedding reception

Regardless of what was going on behind the scenes – you can’t tell from the pictures!  The bride and groom and all their guests just rolled with it. A little wind, no big deal.  Fun was had by all.

Michael and Debra are such a fun, wonderful couple. Michael is just larger than life with a huge personality … both Debra and Michael seem to have a kindness that is easily apparent – even though we just met for the first time Saturday evening.

Family and children seem to be a very important part of their lives. When we walked into the Valencia Ballroom at the Montelucia to set up, we were shown our spot adjacent to what we thought was the head table. A few minutes went by and I saw that someone had placed a bunch of crayons on the table. It turned out that this extremely large table was actually the kids table – probably set for 25 kids. An evening wedding that incorporated small children – I love it!

It was a lovely reception – perfectly organized by Karen of Karen Doan Events. The bride and groom seemed to be having one laugh after another, the kids were having a blast and The Live Photobooth was snap, snap, snapping great pics of a fun crowd all evening.

A successful evening – Congratulations to a lovely couple!

What can I say about this crowd…they were just so much fun. The laughter was contagious. It’s like when you are driving in your car listening to something funny on the radio and you just can’t help bursting out in laughter and you know the people in the cars next to you think you’re nuts. Well that describes this crowd. Whether it was the duo that put the silver paper that wraps gum on their teeth or the man that didn’t change his emotion not even once or the groom swiping someone’s wheelchair and zooming into the middle of a picture or the guy that could make any face in the world and be funny while doing it – this was a lively crowd. My side still hurts from laughing. Fun. Fun. Fun!

The night was off to a shaky start because of the weather.  Imagine, rain in Arizona…lots of rain in Arizona.  The Live Photo Booth was able to remain outside, under a covered awning at Dorrance Hall, Desert Botanical Gardens. Victoria Canada of Victoria Canada Weddings and Events was able to move the outdoor wedding indoors on a moments notice and still remain oh, so calm. Even though we could see our breath (hello, is this really April in AZ?) the night was a huge success! It seemed to me like fun was had by all.
