I recently photographed a beautiful wedding at the Hyatt Regency in Lake Tahoe. It was a casual event with a short ceremony and casual dinner and drinks on the lawn overlooking the gorgeous lake. While the four piece string group played softly, we were causing quite a stir with the most successful photo booth yet. For some reason the photo booth is hit or miss, either guests really embrace it or they don't participate at all. For two solid hours we had a line going and everyone was having a blast.

I feel like the booth is a great way to get everyone participating, and sometimes it is difficult to get meaningful pictures of all the guests. This way everyone can come over in their own time and not worry about getting their picture taken while they are stuffing their face.
The whole idea behind the booth is to get fun, engaging shots of wedding guests in a semi controlled situation. This way, when a spontaneous moment happens, it can be captured and remembered as such.
Another cool thing about doing this set up is people really get to become creative, they can express who they are in front of the camera.

Some get wacky, others just stare straight ahead. When someone gets up to bat and they are stiff, or unimaginative, I provide a bit of creative inspiration.
These guys were awesome, I love when they come back for more rounds!
The most important thing is to show a different side of the many guests. I try to make everyone comfortable enough to let loose.
