Pittsburg Wedding at the Omni William Penn Hotel | Photo Booth Madness

Tyra — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:52:10 +0000

Photo booths have become quite the popular addition to weddings this 2012 wedding season, which makes me very excited! I absolutely love the addition of having a photo booth during your reception. The type of photo booth we offer is more of a studio style photo shoot. It offers a tiny corner of privacy where you can let your silly side show, if that is, you are willing. The creativity behind the open-air style as seen below is the interaction. Instead of one or two guests going into a booth and having a bit of fun, now the entire crowd can be entertained. My favorite outcome is when a group of people get together to act out a scene or let us direct them in doing something silly, which will in turn be the funniest flicker movie when we put the movie together. Be sure to check out LIVE + LOVE PRODUCTIONS website to see more examples of these fun videos (or order one yourself for you big wedding day).

Photo Booth Inspiration | Book a Fotobooth with Live + Love Productions | Boston Wedding Photo Booth

Tyra — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:45:07 +0000

Here is one of my favorite ways to record the guests that attend your wedding. I am absolutely beyond obsessed with putting together stop motion videos with the photos we take at your photo booth.

Here’s the key to success for your photo booth:
1. Provide fun props that reflect the events personality or the couples personality.
2. Visit the booth often, the more people see that you are into the booth, the more they will be into the booth.
3. Think of different stories or skits to tell in the booth. Act out the scene of your proposal. Act out a fight scene. Grab a group of friends and ride a roller coaster. While you are acting these skits out, we are taking multiple frames so that when we speed up the progression of the frames, it becomes a stop motion movie of somebody proposing, a fight scene or a group of people riding a roller coaster. It’s quiet comical.
4. Be prepared to take 2000+ photos.
5. Have fun.

You can read all about the Fotobooth our sister company, Live + Love Productions offers HERE. Let’s just say, you get a lot for your money. I am also offering a discount of 10% off to our 2012 brides if you book a photo booth with us by April 20, 2012.

Last but not least, here is a prime example of a what the Fotobooth can look like for you. Enjoy!

Boston University School of Law | Barrister’s Ball | Boston Sheraton Hotel Events

Tyra — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:27:31 +0000

It was a fun night hanging out with Boston University School of Law at their Barrister’s Ball. Let me tell you, these people know how to dance the night away. The night was a blast! The Fotobooth done by Live + Love Productions (check it out HERE) was a huge hit and was visited by many. It was an epic night with over 700 attendees that enjoyed the Arabian Night themed decor, the band Class ft. Concetta and the “Mirage” signature cocktails (as planned by Mandy Connor of Hummingbird Bridal and Events).

Tyra — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:07:33 +0000

This past week I offered a chance to win a 16×20 gallery wrap to my past clients who took a little time out from their day to write a review of my services. I want to thank all of you who participated. I wrote all the names out and drew the winner from my ‘conductors hat’ (as my husband calls it). The winner, Jessica Weaver (see her beautiful DIY wedding HERE), gets to pick an image from her wedding to be printed.
