We are home from our honeymoon and boy do we have a treat for you! We just got done sorting through the 197 photo booth photos from our wedding reception and they are here for you to view. The idea for Lea and I to include a photo booth came from the many years of setting up a photo booth at the BIC YouthQuest events. Lea and I knew that it would either be a tremendous hit or somewhat of a flop….well, I think you will see from the photos it was a hit! Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the photo booth, we were impressed with all of the smiles, silly faces and creative props!
So how did we do it? It was quite simple actually, we got some fabric that matched our theme from a local craft store. Mom Denlinger sewed the 2 pieces together and sewed a loop at the top. The loop slid over top of a plastic PVC pipe which was supported by two speaker stands. We used my Canon 7D camera with an external flash along with a soft box light from a light kit to capture the images with enough lighting. Canon includes an EOS utility free with the camera that allows for “tethered/remote shooting”. With a normal USB camera cable we connected the camera to the computer. Once the photo was taken the MacBook Pro laptop would automatically download and display the image for review by the participants. I ordered a cheap wireless shutter remote (from ebay) which allowed those in the booth to snap the photos on command. So enough with the technical jargon check out the cool pics!
P.S. check back soon for more posts about our wedding & honeymoon!
