Photo Booths Done Right!
There are a lot of Photo Booth styles popping up in the event industry, so we thought we'd quickly tell you why we made ours the way we did! 1) Our Booths Are Closed with black curtains, because most people are just a little camera shy or shy in general.

Post-Wedding Portraits: Why They’re a Great Idea
Wedding photography, along with videography, is one of the most important aspects of a wedding day. Both photography and videography are meant to capture the emotions, details, and memories of the day. But wedding photography is also meant to produce gorgeous portraits that you can put up in your home, at your desk at work, or include in your photo album for friends & loved ones to "ooh" and "aww" over.

What is a Drone and why should I want it for my wedding video?!
If you're researching wedding videography these days, chances are you've come across the drone hype. So what is it and why is it the next big thing for wedding videos? A drone is an "unmanned aerial vehicle" (UAV) which means it can fly high into the air without having a pilot on board.
