I hate to dance. I mean really, really hate it. Obviously, it’s because I can’t do it. (Well, that’s not entirely true… I do like to swing dance… but anyway, for the purpose of this post, I hate dancing okay?). Luckily, I bet I’m not the only one though.
That being said, how many people out there get invited to a wedding and then spend the entire reception sitting around? That’s totally me… well, not when I’m shooting the wedding, but when I’m a guest. Honestly, if you don’t like to dance, receptions are b-o-r-i-n-g. Oh, and table shots? Lots of people want them so they can get a photo of everyone attending, but who REALLY wants photos of people huddled around a table filled with dirty dishes?
Enter stage right a new offering from JParker Studio called the Photobooth! Isn’t that one of those things where you and 20 of your friends cram into a wooden box and press a button and a photo is spit out? Well, yeah, but this one’s much cooler than that.
During the downtime of your reception, I set up a backdrop and some lights and we get crazy! In order to get the best possible photos of your guests, I am behind the camera the entire time setting up crazy scenarios and shooting them. Honestly, it is the MOST fun I have had at a reception and everyone has a great time!
Here are some of my favorites from the Photobooth I set up during Camille + John’s wedding a few weeks ago. People were having so much fun that I ended up staying an additional hour to squeeze everyone in!
If you were one of the people at Camille + John’s wedding, please leave a comment about your experience with the Photobooth! Come on, say it was awesome… you know you want to….

Jeremy, this is a great idea!! Camille and I just got back from our honeymoon and we could hardly wait to log on to see them! We thought about you a lot during our trip (when we saw interesting things we would say “Jeremy could do so much with this!”). Our family and friends have been emailing us to tell us how much fun they had at our wedding with the photo booth. You are absolutely right it makes so much difference having someone behind the camera…you truly captured the essence of our family and friends. Thank you.

Hey Jeremy,
I can’t stop looking at the photos that are posted… even on our honeymoon we would try to look at the photos. Thank you sooo much for all your hard work! Can’t wait for the rest to come out! Btw, your family photos are really cute =), your daughter is so vibrant and bright!
Take care and thanks again.

[...] You might remember Camille + John from their awesome engagement session, or even that they were the first ever beneficiaries of the amazing JParker Studio Photobooth. [...]
