Photo Booth at wedding receptions in Kansas City

Marco — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:21:15 +0000

We have been bringing our photo booth at wedding receptions for the past 4 years, but it feels like has never been as popular as this year. We had a great time so far engaging with guests, creating moments of pure fun and great images and will keep doing it through the end of the season. The general feedback we have received was: “We are so glad you convinced us to do this!”

This is just our take on something really popular.

Wedding photography on film

Nope, we are not going back in time. No I didn’t sell the 5D. The economic recession has nothing to do with it. Just wanted to have some fun with the camera that started it all, at least for me. Stolen from my dad years ago, taken across the pond to a skilled repair man for simple TLC, she has been my first camera and the tool of the trade for my first weddings. Last saturday I wanted to take her out of retirement, just for a little, short Sensia run.

The fun continued when I took the film to Costco and told them to cross process it. Bypassed the stare look and told them to: “just run it as you normally would any other regular film”. One of the chicks behind the counter couldn’t refrain from saying: “Sir, you know it will turn completely black!” “Sure” I said “just do it. Do it. Do it.”

Here are some I liked. Nothing done to them, straight from the lovely CD Costco gave me.

The “real” post about this wedding will come soon. Lisa & Bobby, thank you for having us at your wedding. Stay tuned for more.

Christina & Matt’s wedding was an elegant and sleek event that started at the President Hotel for the getting ready and continued at the Hobbs Building for both ceremony and reception. These are just few of our favorite images from the day.

Amy & Josh’s wedding

We are so excited for Amy and Josh as they start their new life out east. They have made us feel like a part of the family over the years and we were so happy to be able to shoot this wedding! We love you guys and can’t wait to hear what’s next in your lives. Thank you for expecting & allowing us to be creative and expressive while shooting your day. We hope we came close to capturing the love and fun that surrounds both of you:)

Here are some fun shots we took at the photobooth. It’s not your usual photo booth; we set up a double set of cool lights and shot pretty much everybody at the reception. As you can see, people were having a good time:)

Megan & Brandon – Kansas City wedding photography

First wedding of the year for us, back on January the 2nd. Bitter cold and snow, but that’s just a weather issue. This beautiful wedding was photographed in Emporia, KS, a lovely town with lots of history and a really neat downtown. Reception and ceremony at the Granada Theater.
