The hot new thing when it comes to events is to have a "photo booth" at the event. Most people think back to the old school cram-as-many-people-in-as-you-can type box booths that spit out 4 black and white photos. While fun and nostalgic, this is a bit too limiting for us here at Save The Date Photo. Our photo booth is really not a booth at all, but rather, a full blown portrait studio complete with a backdrop big enough to fit a dozen people and a large portrait strobe light. One of my trusty assistants snaps away while you and your guests take as many photos as you want. The are then loaded to the internet for easy ordering of professional quality prints ready to be framed (not the throw-away kind you now see in many photo booths). And, best of all... it is free to any of my wedding clients!Here is how you set one up if you are a photographer trying to figure it all out:
Equipment needs:
Calumet Travelite 750ws One-Head Umbrella Kit from Calumet in Los Angeles. It is a perfect starter kit for $680.
Backdrop Stand (On Site Portable Stand) for $130
Muslin for $60
So, for under $1000 you can have yourself an "up in seconds" studio!
Go to my post on lighting for extra tips on how to use the strobe kit.
