Betsy & Jonathan

On January 9th, 2010, we had the honor of bringing in the New Year for a wonderful couple, Elizabeth Gross and Jonathan Van Tol, now Mr. and Ms. Jonathan Van Tol. Since last year in early September when I met Elizabeth and her mother, Angela, never have I met the most excited people ever for such and event to take place.

When the day arrived, it was standing room only at the reception venue. The room was packed with family and friends of the Elizabeth (Betsy) and Jonathan that the sheer volume of love for the both them could be felt.

It was also our pleasure to give Betsy and Jonathan our Open Air Photobooth for their wedding as they let us use their memory book at the Cal Expo Bridal Showcase the following day. I must say once the word spread about the booth, James who was running it, was swamped with helping people take photos, cut, glue, etc!

Angela had the reception planned to a “T” and it went perfectly. I think with everything she did, there should be a new category for a dance, “The Mother Who Accomplished It All for Her Daughter’s Wedding”.

After all the events and the floor was opened for dancing, it went perfect. The songs were played, everyone danced, and I have to thank everyone for their requests. I love taking requests cause is spurs those thoughts of other songs you forget about and makes people dance more.

We had a fantastic time. Stop by the gallery and check out the Betsy and Jonathan’s photos from the photo booth.

Cal Expo Bridal Showcase 2010

I want to thank everyone who stopped by Open Air Photobooth at the Cal Expo Bridal Showcase. It was a huge success

All the photos we took have been uploaded to the gallery and you can view them here. For every one who had their photo taken, don't forget to download your photo and share them with your friends, family or put them up on your Facebook or MySpace page. Print them out again! And for the brides who attended the show, many congratulations! This is your first of many smiles in front of the camera!

One of the aspects of the booth we love is seeing every ones instantaneous reaction of our guests faces to the photo that was just taken. Everyone standing around can can see the sheer joy and delight in their faces. In the near future, we hope to have the capability for on lookers to see the photos that were just taken by our guests.
