Photobooth slideshow from recent wedding...

[leigh miller]

hey gals i finally got around to trying on of those photobooth things at a wedding reception. i love the results and thought id share. it would probably be pretty darn impossible to do for a DW but not if the photog was local. i just couldnt transport all that with me to do it. and you need at least a covered stable place to set up. wind would knock over the frame. this was outside but set up between two walls that prevented wind. just thought id share cause i know how you gals love to see pics.

 

here you go - morgan and scotts photobooth slideshow.

Ok, so are you maning the booth or is it done automaticly? It definitly makes for different type of pictures. And I love that they are all pretty candid shots.. This is all new to me,, can you explain how it works more?

Oh Leigh I wanted this sooo badly at our wedding and now I really want it!!!!!

 

Part of our reception is going to be in a ballroom, so how did you have it all set up, exactly? I wonder if I can convince my photographer to try this? So much fun!!

 

Any feedback/advice would be appreciated!

Those pics are so cool and it looks like soo much fun. I would love to do that at our wedding. Oh well, we can't have it all Good job Leigh.

glad you gals like it. im really excited about doing this at more weddings. there were plenty of posed moments but i love the images captured almost during the split seconds in between the posing.

 

i manned the booth. this is something i couldnt give up. part of it for me was drawing people out and getting that reaction. i actually brought a third person along with me to that wedding so they could help with the set up and then cover the reception while i was doing the booth. it was set up and running for about 2 hours. i got 9' paper and hung it from a frame. had to bring a flash and umbrella and then a big honking battery (not needed if theres an outlet) to keep the flash firing. i scouted the location beforehand. it takes about an 11'x15' area. as i said before setting it up outside would not work. especially in mexico where it always seems to be breezy at outside receptions.

 

there are a lot of different ways to do it. i just kept with what sean told me cause i really wanted that almost sterile background. i did toy with the idea of using a different background but went back to the plain ole background.

I LOVE this idea? I wonder the expenses of it....don't know if I could FI onboard......

I saw this on a photogs website when I first started planning and loved it...this one turned out great! The bride was incredibly photogenic!

What a fun idea. Love the pics, Leigh!

I love this idea. I've seen a few of these and I really like your style & background Leigh (although, perhaps I'm biased!). That bride & groom are hilarious- the bride was constantly in the photobooth- too cute! I love "Lovely Day" too, I haven't heard that song in a long time.

 

Excellent job!
