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.

Clear blue skies, warm weather, couple of clouds here and there.. it was just an absolutely beautiful day for Rachelle and Mark to get married. This day was theirs and nothing would get in the way.

Family and friends: View the wedding gallery here.

When I was taking the photos I saw the connection between Rachelle and Mark. I saw how much they love each other, how Mark was blown away when he saw first saw Rachelle and how intimate their first dance was.

Rachelle and Mark’s wedding was memorable, emotional and fun. The toasts were very thoughtful that created laughter and tears.
