Wedding Photobooth at Bridal Veil Lakes

Jessica — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 18:05:06 +0000

I met Tiffani online long before she was ready to book a wedding photographer. We stayed in touch, and about 9 months later when she was visiting family in Beaverton, we met. Her and her fiance met with several photographers during that week. I knew they liked me but they did not book me on the spot. A week later Tiff emailed and said she really wanted to hire me but she wanted a photobooth. Another photographer she liked did offer one.

I quickly grabbed all the information I could about how to create a wedding photobooth, and came back with a quote. I made sure she understood this would be the first time I was doing this. The more I looked into it, the more excited I got about the idea. Here are some highlights from our first photobooth, shot by Hollie. I look forward to offering wedding photobooths as an option to all my 2011 brides!

Sirius & Chris Sneak Peak

Here is a quick sneak peak from Sirius and Chris’s wedding at the Aquariva in Portland. The Aquariva is right on the waterfront with a beautiful trail behind it. The bride, Sirius, is leaving her room at the Avalon Hotel and walking towards the riverfront, where Chris waits for her for their first look.

Four Weddings and More

My blog may be a little quiet for a bit. In the next 10 days, I have four weddings, a trash-the-dress session at the Oregon coast, and an engagement! Check back soon for lots of sneak peak wedding photos and more.

Wedding Website Cards

A little something I like to do for my wedding photography clients is create these little cards. Every bride and groom gets their own personal website, complete with a password, showing the photos from their wedding day. Last summer I started taking a couple images from the engagement session to make what I call url cards. (I’m open to suggestions for a better name!)

I use Mini Moo cards. They are smaller than a business card but really thick and sturdy. On the front is one or two photos of the wedding couple, and the back is information about the website. It will have the couple’s personalized url, their password, and my blogsite for previews. I’m trying to think about a way to incorporate these cards in for couples that do not have an engagement session, usually those that are not from Portland. So far, my brides have absolutely loved these.

Kelly & Eli, here is a preview of yours.
