For absolute wedding fun, add a photobooth!

A wedding reception is as much about entertaining one’s guests as it is about the newly married couple. Most weddings incorporate the standard rituals of awkward toasts by friends and family, cake stuffing and the YMCA song by The Village People. Few wedding parties however provide long lasting photos that guests really cherish.

Current trends in wedding planning indicate that much pomp and circumstance have been toned down in lieu of more informal celebration. This is where a photo booth comes into play. Incorporating a photo booth into your wedding celebration offers serious fun feelings to your nuptials.

Whether you are getting hitched for the first time in a church setting or tying the knot later in life sans a religious context, a photo booth rental brings out the best in your wedding guests. They will be more willing to having their professional photo taken without the prying influence of a wedding photography asking them to plaster on a smile.

An impeccable and creative shot high resolution image of your wedding party is is bound to be circulated on Facebook over and over again. What could be a better party favor? Nothing really.

Photobooth Florida is a good option for your Florida-based weddding because it incorporates a tethered monitor on which to view images in real time. A major benefit of digital photography is that so many images can be taken and tossed away if they are unflattering. You and your wedding party can take a thousand images and only order or display prints of the most flattering or interesting shots. Check out the some of the galleries from past events on www.photoboothflorida.com for examples of the pictures you could end up with.

Photo Booth rental - the hottest party trend!

Say cheese! Photo booth rentals are the hottest party trend

In the words of Ferris Bueller, it is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Ferris was talking about a Ferrari, but the sentiment applies equally well to a photo booth. Photo booths are one of the hottest party trends out there, popping up everywhere from wedding receptions to galas and parties. They serve as both entertainment and historian, serving up fun to guests while recording the event's memorable moments.

There are dozens of companies that deal in photo booth rentals; you can find them by searching online or calling your local party supplier. Two Boston companies at the head of the search engine results are Photobooth Favors and Boston Photobooth. Each has various options available for photo booth rental, and most companies offer instant printing of photos as well as a CD backups or scrapbooks. Most photo booth rentals also come with an attendant who can help guests use the booth and make sure that it is properly functioning throughout your event.

Where can you use a photo booth? Try a wedding reception or anniversary party to record guests on the couple's special day so that the couple can mingle without worrying about taking photos. A prom, graduation party, or class reunion would be a good school-based event to showcase photo booths and bar/bat mitzvahs, sweet sixteen parties, and quinceañeras are great for teen parties at which to feature a photo booth. Your company might even consider bringing a photo booth to its next trade show or fundraiser and can spice things up by offering a photo booth at its summer picnic or holiday party.

At $700-$2000 per event, photo booth rental is not for everyone. I must admit, however, that I can't think of anything more memorable for a party, and therefore think the money is absolutely worth it if you can afford it. If you can, try to rearrange your budget elsewhere to have this "wow" factor at your next party -- then share the results with us here on the Boston Party Planning Page!

2009 Photo Booth Convention

The Center Portion, Chicago, Ilinois April 3-4, 2009

About the Convention

The 2009 International Photobooth Convention was held at the Center Portion in Chicago, Illinois. Photobooth artists and enthusiasts from from around the globe took part in the two-day event. This year we had two vintage black and white photobooths and a replica Model 14 with digital guts that were free and open for use. We curated a show of photobooth-inspired and -related work that filled the walls of the Center Portion Gallery. Works from 15 artists were selected for the show; all submitted work can be viewed here in our online gallery. (gallery forthcoming)

This year, more than 200 participants joined in the fun, taking photobooth pictures, participating in discussions and workshops, enjoying videos and talks, and collaborating on this year's group project: a cross-cultural photobooth photo exchange. Think Maverick and Goose flying upside-down on top of a MiG, except friendlier, and in photobooths instead of jets. Just as Brian and Tim were stumped, trying to come up with an idea for a group project this year, Martin Krohs of Moscow's Schnellfoto came through with a brilliant idea: "FOTOMOST: Photobooth space bridge Moscow-Chicago." Martin invited people to compose messages or questions (in Russian, and ideally in 4 parts, written on cards) and photograph them in the photobooth. The resulting strips were translated, sent to the convention, and convention-goers were asked to respond to a strip with a photostrip answer of their own. These photobooth conversations turned out amazingly well, and they have been sent back to Moscow for an exhibition.

The convention opened on Friday night, with festivities including of a traditional gallery opening, a brief welcome from the convention organizers, and four hours of nonstop boothing.

Saturday was more relaxed as convention attendees came and went over the course of the day. The booths continued to see constant action, and those who were there used the freedom of unlimited photostrips to experiment and perfect their projects. Brian compiled a 30-minute reel of photobooth video shorts (commercials, news stories, music videos, and short films) that ran twice during the day. Anthony's altered photo workshop was sold out to an enthusiastic group of 16, and they managed to create some amazing work based on photostrips taken that day as well as found photos Anthony supplied. Soon after the art supplies were all cleaned up, the assembled group moved into the theater space to watch a 4-minute silent film showing the inner workings of the photobooth, followed by a panel discussion, moderated by Tim Garrett. The distinguished panel members were Nicholas Osborn (author, historian, and vernacular photography collector), Nakki Goranin (author, artist, photographer), Brian Meacham (Photobooth.net curator and film archivist), Steve "Mixup" Howard (artist, originator of the International Photobooth Convention), and Anthony Vizzari (artist, photographer, photobooth owner/operator). The panel covered topics ranging from the academic to the personal: the nostalgia for outmoded photographic techniques, the future of the photobooth, the difficulties and delights of digitization, and stories of the fascination each panelist has with the photobooth. We were very fortunate to have all these people in one place at one time.

Later that evening, Brian delivered an updated and expanded version of his talk on photobooths in cinema, reflecting the new discoveries made since the first iteration of the talk four years ago.

In addition to the artists and panelists mentioned above, other featured guests attended this year's convention. The ladies from Photomovette (Carole and Siobhan) came all the way from the UK to join in the festivities. They are well on their way to having the a much-needed new photochemical photobooth back up and running in London. Danny Minnick, whom we'd gotten to know through his photobooth art and his contributions of various photobooth locations around the country, made the trip from San Francisco and was a great help as we set up and took down the show. We also had the pleasure of having the grand master of the photobooth (in our opinion) Todd Erickson all the way in from Minneapolis on Friday night. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone more knowledgable or passionate about the booth, and the convention-goers soaked up his expertise that night.

Many thanks to Anthony Vizzari and 312Photobooth for hosting for this year's International Photobooth Convention, for doing the majority of the legwork as our man on the street in Chicago, and for the generous use of his photobooths.

We couldn't have had kinder or more generous partners in the proprietors of The Center Portion -- Greg and Sheila were great, and they've created a space that was perfect for our event.
