A view of Lower Manhattan, New York, from right over the Hudson River in Jersey City…Spring is here…(almost)!!

Spring is finally here and we kicked off our wedding season with a beautiful wedding at Maritime Parc in Liberty State Park.  The view was absolutely beautiful – clear blue skies and a phenomenal view of Lower Manhattan from right over the Hudson River.  Maritime Parc (www.maritimeparc.com) is a beautiful wedding venue with great light and fabulous food!  Guests loved our vintage photo booth on this beautiful Sunday afternoon wedding.  One of our favorite moments of the evening – a newborn baby and his parents jumping into our vintage photo booth with the baby smiling for each shot…it was timed so perfectly!  Of course, the bride and groom had a blast, along with their many guests – dancing, socializing, and partying! Another one of our favorite moments: a middle-aged business man attending as a guest, with a quite serious disposition, reluctantly sat in our vintage photo booth for a picture with his son.  After seeing the quality of the photo and experiencing the classic experience of the photo booth again, something happened to him.  He ended up circling back to our vintage photo booth twenty times, dragging in other reluctant guests to capture photos with him.  He ended up asking for my card, as he became a huge fan of the classic photo booth experience once again!  It was a great way to kick-off the spring season with our classic photo booth in the beautiful and historic, Liberty State Park!

Photo Booth Rental NYC – Tappan Hill Mansion

“Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” – Mark Twain (and maybe a beautiful view of the Hudson Valley)

A beautiful venue with historic ties to one of our nation’s most intriguing and talented writers, Tappan Hill Mansion is located on the former estate of Samuel Clemens, also known as Mark Twain.   This past weekend, we had a wonderful time celebrating another amazing couple with our vintage photo booth set-up in the lovely ballroom.  Amidst the great music (Hank Lane Productions) and amazing food (Abigail Kirsh Catering), one of the best parts of the evening was bumping into a former client.  Two years ago, I was hired for this former client’s wedding at another Abigail Kirsh catering venue, The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers in New York, New York.  As the former clients came out of our vintage photo booth, they recognized me and I found out that they recommended me as a vendor to the evenings bride and groom!  It was a wonderful coincidence to see them now as guests for their friends wedding.  As the famous author once wrote, “Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.”  Indeed, it was another great wedding, great couple, great guests, great food, and a great party with our vintage photo booth!

At a recent event at The Rockleigh Country Club in Rockleigh, New Jersey, I had the opportunity to meet some of the amazing honored guests from The Dwight-Englewood School at their annual “Reach for the Stars” Auction Fundraiser.  Guests had the opportunity to jump into and out of our vintage photo booth over the course of the evening, while I had a chance to learn more about the school and the wonderful faculty!  I really enjoyed meeting Carole DeVito, an honored guest and retiring History teacher, along with her family and friends as they posed for photos in our vintage photo booth.  The event was filled with great music and excellent food compliments of The Rockleigh Country Club and their wonderful hospitality.  I also enjoyed meeting the various staff and the wonderful people working behind the scenes to help promote education at the Dwight-Englewood School.  I was glad to see them enjoying themselves in our vintage photo booth.  One couple remarked that they had not been in a classic photo booth since the 1950s!  They ended up taking several black and white photo strips with them home, a wonderful reminder that the classic photo booth has maintained its original charm after all these years!

Recently had the opportunity to partner with the United Way in Bergen County at their Very Special Night Fashion Show on February 19th to support their initiative to provide homes to special needs individuals throughout Northern Jersey.  The night featured a simulated Oscars Ceremony with a fashion show for several of the special needs individuals connected with the United Way in Bergen County.  Held at the Westmount Country Club, guests jumped in and out of our vintage photo booth throughout the evening.  I had the privilege of chatting with some of the honored guests while attending our vintage photo booth.  Enjoyed watching each of these honored guests going on stage and grabbing an Oscar (or a statue that looked very similar to it!).  Also, had fun watching these guests taking photos together in our vintage photo booth with their Oscar awards.  It was a special evening with our photo booth!

Photo Booth Rental NYC – Connecting with Guests

Posted 2/12/15 in: New Jersey New York

One of the things I enjoy most about setting up our vintage photo booth is the opportunity to connect and socialize with various guests at an event.  At a recent event in New York, New York, I started chatting with a guest who had flown up from Mexico to attend his cousins Quinceañera, the celebration of a girl’s fifteenth birthday.  When he first entered our vintage photo booth, he had no idea how to operate the machine and ended up just sitting in the photo booth for about five minutes.  Although we had a slight language barrier, I eventually was able to communicate to him the simple operation of the photo booth, and he took it from there!  He ended up grabbing all his family members, aunts, uncles, grand parents, cousins, and taking individual photos throughout the evening.  He even convinced me to jump in with him!

It is certainly fun to meet with different people at each of the events we do in the New York and New Jersey area.  I try to encourage even the least photogenic people to jump in our vintage photo booth and give it a try at least once.  It’s even more enjoyable to watch people who are initially reluctant (or confused, like my friend pictured above), to warm up to the photo booth concept and embrace the fun they could have with it.  At the end of the night, I caught him showing off this photo to his family members.  Always satisfying to hear guests enjoying our vintage photo booth!

Where were you to start 2015? – In a photobooth

Posted 1/30/15 in: New Hampshire / Northern MA / Southern ME

One of the great joys of this business is that you get to meet many wonderful people. From my experience, my two favorite so far have been Kerry and Matt. I had the pleasure of bringing my classic vintage photo booth to their wedding in Boston, Mass on New Years Eve. In addition to the bride and groom being amazing, the food was delicious, the guests were fun and the venue was beautiful. Our photobooth fit right into the aesthetics. As with all weddings we do, everyone had a blast in our booth all night, but as New Years approached, one group was bound to remember where they were at as the clock struck twelve. What a great way to ring in a New Year and have the proof to remember just where you were. It might even start a new tradition. What moments to do you want to always remember, with the help of a photo booth, we’ll make sure to never forget.

Photo Booth Rental NYC – Ritz-Carlton Hotel, New York, NY

Posted in: New Jersey New York

At a recent event at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Battery Park, New York, NY, a guest asked me, “how in the world did you get the photo booth up to the 14th floor?”  One of the benefits of our vintage photo booth is its ability to navigate through the maze of New York City hotels. From the loading dock, through the back room hallways, tiny freight elevators, etc…, our vintage photo booth has made it’s way into some of the nicest New York City venues.  As I explained the unique way our classic photo booth folds up and works it’s way through these New York City back room hallways, a small crowd started gathering as guests grew more and more curious about the photo booth design.  Needless to say, they appreciated the design of our vintage photo booth even more after my explanation and they went ahead and took several more photos throughout the evening (see below).  We tried to think through all the details to offer a well-designed, elegant, yet fun vintage photo booth for your event.

Our vintage photo booth at a recent event in NYC – simple, fun and classy…

Photo Booth Rental NJ – visiting the Rockleigh Country Club in Rockleigh, New Jersey.  At a recent event at the Rockleigh Country Club in New Jersey, I connected with guests in our vintage photo booth that asked whether our photo booth had immediate social media capability.  This is a feature we’ve long considered as we wish to stay on the forefront of all new technology.  At the same time, we want to retain the vintage photo booth experience and pass that experience on to a new generation.  With the explosion of digital media technology, it’s true that various different features can be added to the vintage photo booth experience – immediate social media upload, photo editing, green screen, etc…  At the same time, after testing some of these options myself, I realized it also complicates the vintage photo booth experience as well.  I realize there’s a spectrum of tech savvy people, and often times, it has nothing to do with age (I recently observed a grandfather at a recent Sweet Sixteen event taking selfies with his grand children on the dance floor).  Yet, for our purposes, we wanted to keep things sweet and simple with our vintage photo booth.  High-quality print outs available in 60 seconds.  Our aim is to keep the event classy, elegant, yet simple and memorable.  At the end of the evening, the client gets the original digital copies of the photos and photos strips taken during the event and can then upload files to social media.
