The Photo Booth

July 26, 2010 · 0 comments

My first photo booth of the year was brought to the MCRD Bay View room. Once I finished putting the photo booth together everyone rushed to put on props and get in front of the camera.

I wasn’t sure what to expect once people had a couple of drinks and got the blood flowing on the dance floor. Couples came to get their photos taken. Families came to take their latest portrait. The men brought the crazy. Leading by example, the bridal party tried on all the props, brought their best faces, and posed in every which way.

The first photo booth of the year was just as I expected, fun and full of laughter. I look forward to the next wedding that wants to raise the bar with the photo booth.
