Our Classic Photo Booth at Maritime Parc in Jersey City
Posted 8/12/15 in: New Jersey New York
At a recent wedding at Liberty State Park Maritime Parc in Jersey City, on a beautiful day overlooking Lower Manhattan, we celebrated the wedding of a lovely couple, Dan and Hara, and their guests. Our classic photo booth was an ideal fit in this lovely modern, yet very classy venue. Big “thank you” to Scott Langley (www.scottlangleyphoto.com) for these great photos of guests in our classic photo booth enjoying themselves and signing the photo guest book. We always enjoy compiling the guest book for the bride and groom, a warm reminder of all their friends and family celebrating on their special wedding day. We also enjoy watching some well-dressed guests putting on a few silly props to take a few fun photos in our classic photo booth. I remember at this particular wedding, several out-of-town guests making a collage of photo booth pictures for the guest book. This group circled back to our classic photo booth multiple times throughout the event, coming up with new creative ideas for each photo booth session! Glad they had so much fun!
Our Classic Photo Booth at the Central Park Boathouse
Posted 8/03/15 in: New Jersey New York
This past weekend, we brought our classic photo booth to the beautiful Loeb Boathouse in Central Park for a black-tie wedding (a bit hot for a tuxedo, but the guys made it work!). Overlooking a beautiful view of midtown Manhattan and designed to beautifully coexist with its natural surroundings, The Loeb Boathouse is the only Manhattan venue right on a lake! (Read more at http://www.thecentralparkboathouse.com). At this particular event, I bumped into former client’s who referred our classic photo booth services to their friends. It was wonderful to see them one-year after their wedding! Our classic photo booth was busy throughout the evening and we quickly filled up the photo guest book with some wonderfully classy, yet fun photos of New Yorker’s letting loose. Couldn’t have asked for better weather at this beautiful Manhattan venue in the heart of New York City!
Capturing a Moment in our Classic Photo Booth in NYC
Posted 7/31/15 in: New Jersey New York
Amidst the numerous events and happenings at a wedding, some couples simply do not have a chance to enjoy the day together. At a recent wedding at The Plaza Hotel in New York City, this bride and groom finally had a moment to themselves in our classic photo booth. Surprisingly, no one else approached them, as they sat in our classic photo booth taking vintage black and white photos. It was nice to see them finally take a breather at their beautiful wedding. Since the reception was a black-tie affair, the couple requested vintage black and white photo booth pictures to match this classy, mid-town Manhattan venue. So glad to see that our classic photo booth not only provided fun for the guests, but a place to recover for the bride and groom!
Classic Black and White Photo Booth NYC
Posted 7/28/15 in: New Jersey New York
Recently bumped into a friend at an Arts Festival in NYC and had a chance to take a vintage black and white photo booth shot. Despite the relatively young age of the crowd, I found that many of the guests loved the classic black and white photo booth strips. In fact, in the past few events, both younger and older guests have specifically requested the vintage black and white photo strip for their turn in our vintage photo booth. Love seeing guests appreciating the classic photo booth experience, including the vintage black and white photos!
Vintage Wedding with Our Classic Photo Booth
Posted 7/24/15 in: New Jersey New York
Love this guest table set-up from a recent vintage wedding at the Stone House in Stirling Ridge, New Jersey. Check out the classic childhood polaroid shots hung on a clothesline. Our vintage photo booth fit this wedding theme perfectly! A number of guests commented how much they preferred our classic, enclosed photo booth versus the open-air photo booth lounge set-up. I’ve found that many clients are looking for a somewhat simple (and cheaper version) of a photo booth, something akin to an open photo booth with a backdrop and camera, or a set-up with curtains and PVC pipes. When folks actually jump into our vintage photo booth, they are surprised by how fun it is to climb into an original enclosed photo booth! After recently visiting a High School Prom and a Sweet Sixteen, I realize the next generation of social media saavy, teenagers, also love the simple experience of the traditional photo booth. We love the vintage photo booth, we want to respect the history of this entertaining invention, and pass this experiencing on to the next generation!
Our Classic Photo Booth in New York City
Posted 7/21/15 in: New Jersey New York
Last week, we had the privilege of doing a corporate pop-up lunch event in downtown Manhattan, right next to the new Freedom Tower in New York City. We set-up our classic photo booth inside the office cafeteria at 1 Liberty Plaza, and had the privilege of chatting with busy New Yorkers in the midst of their lunch break. After a fair amount of encouraging, I was able to get as many of these hard-working New Yorkers into our classic photo booth for a vintage black and white photo! Glad to see it brought smiles to people in the middle of their work week! Big warm thank you to Food by Flik International and their commitment to locally sourced foods. The staff was wonderful, and they got a chance to take a few classic photo booth pictures as well!
Wedding Guests at a Recent Event in NYC
Posted 7/17/15 in: New Jersey New York
A cute couple in our vintage photo booth at a recent wedding at The Lighthouse in Chelsea Piers in New York City. This beautiful venue has a great view of the Hudson and wonderful food catered by Abigail Kirsch Catering. Throughout the evening, this couple visited our vintage photo booth several times as they definitely enjoyed the classic photo booth experience of stepping into a photo booth, closing the curtain, and posing for three photos. It’s always fun to observe wedding guests enjoying themselves in our vintage photo booth!
Classic Wedding and Our Traditional Photo Booth
Posted 7/14/15 in: New Jersey New York
At a recent wedding at Maritime Parc in Liberty State Park, New Jersey, guests absolutely loved hanging around our classic, traditional photo booth all evening! With a beautiful view of downtown Manhattan on a gorgeous June evening, wedding guests mingled amongst each other with a fantastic Jazz Band playing in the background, and outstanding food. Guests loved the simple, vintage-style photo booth experience, and together, we completed a beautiful photo guest book for the bride and groom! Throughout the evening, the bride continued to flip through the photo guest book, checking out all her friends and family who stopped to pose in our classic photo booth! It is always one of my goals to get as many friends and family members into the photo booth on behalf of the bride and groom. For this particular wedding, the friends and family had such a good time, word spread, and pretty soon, guests lined-up for the chance! A wonderful wedding with a lovely couple and beautiful guests!
Fort Lee Arts Festival and a Vintage Photo Booth
Posted 7/12/15 in: New Jersey New York
On New Year’s Eve, I met Tom from the Fort Lee Arts and Film Commission based in Fort Lee, New Jersey. As a guest at a wedding, he jumped into our vintage photo booth and loved it! After the event, he asked for my card and invited me to participate at the Fort Lee Annual Arts and Film Commission. Most people these days associate Fort Lee with the Bridge Gate scandal, yet many people do not know that Fort Lee represented Hollywood, before Hollywood even existed! Lemoine Avenue in Fort Lee housed all the major film studios before they migrated out west. Many of the earliest motion picture films were produced and filmed in Fort Lee, just a stones throw away from Manhattan. Check out this cool website for the history of the motion picture industry in North Jersey – http://www.fortleefilm.org/.
We set-up our vintage photo booth as partners with the Fort Lee Arts and Film Commission, offering free photo booth pictures for families in the Fort Lee community. It was an absolute hit! People jumped in and out of our vintage photo booth all day, taking black and white photos, and re-experiencing the vintage photo booth experience! The Arts Festival also included some talented emerging bands, live music, great food, and wonderful community! Enjoyed being part of this community event in North Jersey, and so glad to see so many people embracing the vintage photo booth experience!
Beautiful Vintage Style Wedding on Long Island
Posted 7/08/15 in: New Jersey New York
We recently set-up our vintage photo booth at a beautiful wedding at the Three Village Inn out in Stony Brook, Long Island. It was a lovely, vintage style wedding, with great food and a beautiful view along the water. I particularly enjoyed the rustic, vintage look of the Three Village Inn, a perfect venue for our vintage style photo booth. The bride and groom loved posing in the photo booth, especially with his cheese head prop, straight from Wisconsin! Guests loved filling up the guest book with hilarious photo strips from our vintage style photo booth!
