the other kind of photobooth

I'm kind of torn. We set up a photobooth for my company holiday party on Thursday night... okay WE is the wrong word. I had nothing to do with it. I was busy with the crudite and cheese platter and mixers for the champagne cocktails, but you know, WE as a company set one up. ANYWAY. It's pretty f-ing fun. And now I'm thinking is this better than real photobooth action? I like the teeny pictures from real photobooth but I like the artistic freedom that this allows, you know? we had pictures with people doing handstands and sitting on the tops of ladders. it was pretty good.

I'm not going to say who, but it's highly possible that SOMEONE had 1-2 too many ddlllrinkity-ddllrinks.



Disclaimer - we DID have a professional photographer friend set this all up for us with nice lighting, etc. But I think some wedding photogs can do this too.

Also, after your wedding, every party/event must be executed with wedding-like attention to detail. Which is not always efficient or necessary. You've been warned.

    I love both types. If you want to see amazingly awesome professional photographer photobooth set ups, check out The Image Is Found. The photobooths they set up for weddings are insane.

    Can I work at your company? We didn't do DIDDLY SQUAT this year except Secret Santa, which was a total debacle. I didn't even get tipsy and embarrass myself. It just doesn't feel like Christmas.

    Uh oh. I've been afraid to throw any kind of party for this reason. And then a (single) friend mentioned she saw a wedding dress she loved and I screeched "tear out the photo!" "start a binder!" I didn't even have a fucking binder. Who have I turned into??

    Those photos are great. I think that's an awesome idea for a wedding. And the patterned wallpaper backdrop is amazing!

    I love this idea. Do you think you could have your professional photographer friend write up DIY instructions so I can make it happen out our wedding?
