Teenagers vs. The Studio Booth!

Our Studio Booth is certainly most popular at weddings and we have also done it at many charity events over the past year and a half. The Studio Booth is still never tame. But the thought of controlling 40+ teenagers in the booth made me a little nervous and at the same time excited to see how it would differ from a typical Studio Booth at a wedding. So after mentally preparing myself during the hours leading up to it- I opened the booth at Victoria's Sweet 16 party and what I found was... well a picture is worth a thousand words right?

Here's the Birthday Girl, Victoria, vogue-ing it out for me in the booth













Special thanks to DJ Cory Baron from Grant Hemond & Associates who is always a pleasure to work with and really made the party what is was.


So you can see, that the kids were totally creative and fun once they got a little comfortable with the idea. The real surprise was how much the adults at the party were partaking in the Booth festivities. Or maybe it's not so much of a surprise since the adults do have cocktails to help get their creative juices flowing? Either way, this was a really fun group, and a totally deserving sixteen year old. Happy Birthday again to Victoria!

Married! Natalie and Roger: Studio Booth Sneaks

This weekend we were honored to be part of the celebration of Natalie and Roger's wedding, and though I am very jealous that they are going to Figi for 10 days for their honeymoon I promised I would get some sneak peeks up for them before they left, so here are a few shots of the happy couple in the Studio Booth at their reception.





And this is my new favorite ring shot:



Happy honeymooning Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln. And we are serious about the honeymoon photos if you feel lonely in Figi :)

The Studio Booth/ Get to Know Your Photographers

This is a post I've been wanting to do for a while, 1- to show more examples of our version of the photo booth that we offer at Weddings and Events, and 2- to show our personalities a little more to our readers and 3- I really wanted to try out our new backdrop. Our biggest goal as wedding photographers is to have fun with our couples and really get to know each other so that when we shoot your wedding, it's like we're old friends and you are super relaxed when the camera is on you.

So, Evan and I set up a Studio Booth in our living room and took turns taking portraits of each other in the booth, sometimes with props that we feel represent who we are. We're really just a couple of goof-balls that love to have fun and I hope that this won;t scare anyone away thinking we are loony-tunes ;) I also wanted to finally get some nice portraits up on our website of us, and as a couple who are also photographers, you tend to get lots of great portraits of each other, but never any together. So, we made a goal to get a few cute shots with both of us in frame.






We are also going to be adding a Q&A section to our website so, please if you can think of anything you really want to know about us or our photography, leave us a question here or on our Facebook and we'll try to include it!

The Studio Booth (CSE Photo Booth)

A new option we are offering for weddings and events is a photo booth. Now that you can rent an automated booth, they are becoming very popular so we thought we would play off of the idea and do a more interactive photo booth where we bring our studio lighting and take portraits of guests attending events. We differ than a photo booth in that

1. You have actual humans photographers taking your picture so we will find the best angles and lighting, and

2. We edit the photos by doing color correction and other fixes.

And if your location doesn't have a great background area, we can bring a backdrop that will match your theme. We can also bring props, or our easel with a white board and markers for your guests to create an interactive guest book. And best of all, guests have a blast with it. They can use the photos as keepsakes or even head shots because they are able to download they're pictures from our website for free or order prints.
