My husband Cory and I tied the knot last year and one of the major decorations/themes of the wedding had been "captured moments"...which is a pretty way of saying "crap tons of photos." I decorated every available space of the entrance to the wedding with photos of us and our lives over the years.
When discussing the idea of a photo booth, we just couldn't make up our minds. We knew we didn't want the every day wedding standard and had tossed around an idea of a "recreation" photo opportunity, but we weren't sure how to even approach the idea.
First we rounded up some old photos from our childhoods and decided what would be the most fun and easiest set up. After making our selections, we went to THE FIXER...also known as my dad! It doesn't matter the project, that man will come up with a way to make it happen. He was pretty skeptical about the idea, but of course, in the end he didn't let us down and created a one of a kind photo booth.
....Which was all well and good until a few days before our wedding Cory and I realized we didn't actually recreate our baby photos! We are resourceful though and set up a "mini studio" shoot in our living room for my photo and a field behind our house was the optimal setting for Cory's. I edited, printed, matted and barely had time to frame and set up the finished products by the rehearsal, but I am so happy we did.
Bless my family for always putting up and helping with my crazy ideas.
The photo booth photos top any professional recreation I can do. I can't say thank you enough to everyone who participated in this. Seeing the photos below make me laugh and bring back memories of the best night of my life!
