Just came across this fun little article over at Shore Bride:

Featured in many television shows and movies over time, the classic photobooth is coming to a wedding near you.

Photobooths have long been an easy way to get your picture taken while in the mall, at a carnival or anywhere you and your loved ones are having a wonderful time and want to document the occasion. Photos are then printed in mini-strips, ready to be split between you and your friend.

Formerly relegated to passport and visa offices, which now use more digital versions or actual cameras, the old-fashioned photobooth is making a comeback.

Bars and restaurants in large cities are using them to attract customers, and individuals are buying them for their homes. But perhaps not surprisingly it is in Hollywood where celebrities are installing them as permanent party gimmicks for guests who never tire of seeing themselves in close-up.

And since celebrities are usually the trend-setters for wedding fashion, it is no surprise that they are setting the mark for wedding reception extra-curricular activities. As an alternative to the disposable cameras left on each table, the photobooth can be used to take unlimited pictures of your guests. You can then paste the photos into a personalized wedding scrapbook and have plenty of photos left over for guests to take home as wedding favors. So, get ready to say cheese!

I’ve been thinking a lot about changing up our logo. It seems like a lot of people tend to read it wrong and think our name is Photo The Booth Company, which just sounds silly.

Anyway, I’ve been playing with some mockups and figured I’d post them here to see if anyone has any suggestions.

Current Logo

New Ideas
So what do you think? Keep the current one, or switch to something new.

This weekend will be a busy little weekend for us. We’ve got a gig at a fund raiser for the Michigan Irish Music Festival on Friday night and possibly Saturday night. It’s being held at the Watermark Lofts in Muskegon, and tickets are only $6! They will also have live music from Fonn Mór, Irish beverages, Irish food, and a silent auction with some pretty cool prizes. If you’ve got nothing going on Friday or Saturday come out and say hello!

We will also be trying out a new branding layout for the photostrips. You can check out an example of how they look below. The new layout is a great way for businesses (or anyone really) to do some advertising in a unique way. Plus most of the people will hold on to their photostrips (And probably even hang them on their fridge). So the advertising does double, and sometimes triple work when they show their friends and family the pictures! Compare that to a billboard or newspaper ad that most people don’t even look at, let alone hang on their fridge.

Then on Sunday, we’ll be at Reeths Puffer High School to set up for a musical they are doing called Cinderella. Tickets to Cinderella are only $5 and they will also be flying students for the show, so it should be well worth the $5 admission. The show runs Friday and Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2pm.

This year, I’m once again awestruck by the gorgeous photobooth photos coming out of the Sundance Film Festival. The stars I’ve been spotting always seem to end up here eventually, posing for a series of portraits with their castmates.

So far, I have to give Emily Blunt and Colin Hanks, who star together in The Great Buck Howard, the award for cuteness this year; their “I’ve got a secret!”-style photos are just so heartwarming. Some of my other early favorites: festival judge Sandra Oh rocking some seriously punky hair, Jack Black’s muscle man T-shirt, and Method Man just, you know, being himself. To go up close with some of this year’s Sundance stars, just read more.

Photo Booth scrap booking has emerged as a popular new trend for couples wishing to add a lively element to their wedding reception.

Baltimore, MD (PRWeb) July 9, 2007 — Photo Booth scrap booking has emerged as a popular new trend for couples wishing to add a lively element to their wedding reception. “We have seen a measurable increase in wedding photo booth rental related searches,” says Gandhi Hurwitz, president of Bridal Guides, a popular wedding planning web site.

“Renting a photo both for the evening allows wedding guests to have fun and get loose behind the curtain,” explains Hurwitz. “The really fun part is all of the guests building a personalized scrapbook for the bride and groom to take home with them at the end of the evening.”

Julie Thomas, who was recently wed in Spring Lake, New Jersey, explains, “The photo booth was a huge hit. Our guests loved crowding in behind the curtain and acting goofy. There was a line all night to the booth. The best part was the scrapbook they created for us using their favorite photo strips. Each guest glued in their shots, and signed it for us. We will always treasure that scrapbook.”
