8.20.2011 • Embassy Suites Hotel Portland Airport

Pretty in Pink

Myle and Michael celebrated their wedding day with family and friends at the Embassy Suites Hotel. Paparazzi Tonight Photo Booth decked out the red carpet open-air, photo op / photo booth area with pink, pink, PINK! Boas, hats, sunglasses, picture frames, boxing gloves, to and actual 1960′s pink rotary phone were touched with the prominent color of pink.

In Vietnamese weddings, it is tradition for guests to have their photographs taken with the bride and the groom upon entrance to the reception area. We positioned our photo booth so guests could easily trickle in and take their pictures with the bride and groom. These first photos captured great family portraits that were classy and formal. As the night progressed, guests were encouraged to let out their inner divas, rock-stars, & models while they played with fun props and helped create a memorable album for Myle & Michael to take home that evening. We had an amazing time printing 800+ awesome photo prints and we were pleased with the guests’ enthusiasm.

We’re pretty sure they all had a blast! To say the least, Myle & Michael’s guests were Tickled Pink!

Whe love weddings – so, when you’re thinking of a photobooth for your wedding, think of us!!

Case in Point | Teagan & Luis’ Wedding Reception July 2010

The reception was at Lee Berry Farms, a great outdoor venue known and loved by many Tualatinites and Wilsonvillonians for decades. After the more formal, traditional photo booth shots were taken and dinner was served, we brought out our special props for the night. The theme was Mexican fiesta. We added a cool look to all the photos. It makes me want to take up my old paint-by-number kits again. We’ve dubbed this the “Velvet Elvis” Style.

It was an all-star event last week at the Caddies 4 Cure “A Night to Chip In” charity event. Caddies 4 Cure works with local NW charities to increase the awareness, participation and support of causes that meet the needs of families and children in the Northwest. We were brought in for a special celebrity photo spotlight where donors could take photos with their favorite sports personalities and take away great photo prints.

We branded the prints with the Caddies 4 Cure logo so the message will travel with the photos. We also printed enlargements immediately that were appropriate for framing. Everyone had a fantastic time and a great deal of money and support was raised.

Take a look at some of the celebrity prints:

Laura Kristi, host of Comcast’s Wanted: Adventure Host with husband, Steve Cronin, Portland Timbers goalkeeper.

Portland Trailblazer legends Jerome Kersey and Terry Porter with donors.

George “ICEMAN” Gervin, a NBA Hall-of-Fame and NBA Top 50 Players honoree, and donors.

Kordell Stewart, NFL Pro Bowl honoree, and donor.

Roy Green, NFL 1979-1992, with Caddies 4 Cure recipients.

Adam Bjaranson, KGW Channel 8 Sports Anchor and friend with George Gervin.

Didn’t get his name but he was one huge man!

And a few favorites just to show you the good times:

Paparazzi Tonight….The Photo Booth without the Booth, where EVERY Guest is the STAR!

Sarah & Savi • May 15, 2010 • Oregon Golf Club

Surely not EVERYONE

A bride asked me recently: “What makes it so easy for you guys to get such great shots of people? Surely, not everyone is easy.” I said “Why not?”

We hear it from first time guests again and again… “oh no, I don’t take good pictures.” “We’ll THAT is all about to change, YOU are not taking pictures tonight, WE are!” 16 seconds later they have done a great pose, jump, dip, kiss, vogue. MAGIC!!

Our belief and experience after 100′s of 1,000′s of photos is that, everyone, from child to 100 yr old, has the desire to have fun and to make memories that last.  Everyone can take GREAT pictures. We think it helps that we try to create a special environment that is very rare.  3-2-1 ….Abracadabra….They laugh, play, and dance like no one’s watching…..and they take great pictures.

Sarah, Savi and their family and friends had no problem getting into to the Paparazzi Tonight mood. Take a look at some of their pics. They were a GREAT group. Little did we know before the night started that one of Erik’s personal dreams would be fulfilled that night… A beautiful bride posing SOLO with a giant green Incredible Hulk hand! YES!

Paparazzi Tonight….The Photo Booth without the Booth, where EVERY Guest is the STAR!

Vintage Hollywood cameras, lighting, and Paparazzi Tonight Photo Booth!

First Independent Bank is celebrating their 100th year anniversary this year and we helped them kick off their year with a big FLASH.

We had two red carpets and Paparazzi Photo Booth set ups to catch the 400 or so employees as they arrived and during their morning meet and greet making sure everyone got their 15 seconds of fame in the photo booth and the pictures for proof.

Here are some shots from the morning. Can you tell it was 7:00 a.m.?

Erik and I had such a wonderful time hanging with Tualatin High School students at their winter formal. They had such great energy and were there to enjoy themselves while at the same time wanting to make fantastic memories.

For the event, we brought a ton of props generally oriented around “winter” themes. We brought off the wall props too….and inherently, they were the most popular….such as an AVATAR Na’vi Dire horse as well as a dinosaur action creature featured in the first four-up below. For the blog, we’ve shown the photos as they print out.

One remarkable advantage to using us as photo entertainment at an event is our zoom capabilities. We are able to zoom in tight for couples wanting a close up, zoom down for children, as well as zoom out for large groups. The photographer at the event works with everyone on each shot to get the final result each group wants. We still shoot 4 shots 4 seconds apart so we keep the traditional photo booth adrenaline run that we all love so much.

As always, all photos are available for download next day. For this event, per request, we placed a password on the gallery so only those “in the know” can see the photos.

Thanks TUHS!

Do you notice the heart in the sky right before the ceremony? Good omen I’d say.

We set up our Paparazzi Tonight Photo Booth for the Persimmon Country Club Open House on October 18. This year, there was no ice storm…yeah! We had a great time meeting brides and grooms for our 2009 season.

We often find it difficult to explain to potential customers over the phone exactly what kind of event photographers we are. So, that’s why we like to do trade shows or open houses. Everyone can see what our photo booth experience is first hand and see why we rock! We are very different from a traditional old fashioned photo booth.

There is a new entertainment & event photography trend starting for renting a photobooth and we are on the forefront of it. It’s called paparazzi-style photo booth photography. Perfect, since our name IS Paparazzi Tonight!

Here are excerpts from philly.com about paparazzi-style photo booths:

“Photo Booth Options That Go Beyond The Box” by Anna Sachse

One of the biggest new trends in weddings today is actually a touch old-fashioned: renting a photo booth that pops out instant pictures of your guests at their silly, celebratory best. …It’s campy and creative all in one.

Some couples,…, might want to consider a different kind of specialty photo op…increasing in popularity is the paparazzi-style photo “booth,” which involves an actual photographer shooting your guests in front of a designated backdrop….

The benefit of the studio-style booth is that it allows for more variation when it comes to the type of camera, backdrop, lighting, angles, number of people in the picture, props and more. For example, if you don’t want basic white, you can adjust the color of your backdrop to match your wedding colors, make it a romantic landscape or even use a funny blown-up picture of yourselves that everyone can pose with. Props can be fun as well, provided they make sense in context of your particular event – try to avoid just using random objects, as this might confuse your guests, says Harley.

The cost of a studio-style booth can range from $800 to $2,000, depending on the type you want, the time involved and the amount of product produced. As for location, most photographers will need an approximately 15-by-15 foot space for the backdrop, lighting and camera. You also want to make sure you set it up in a place that people can see so that they will be sure to take advantage of it, or have your wedding planner announce it.

As a result of including the booth, you are more likely to get at least one picture of every guest at your wedding, and chances are that these pictures will be some of the best ones of the night. “Sometimes people feel awkward when having their normal conversation or dancing filmed, or when they have to pose in the same boring ways,” says Harley. But when they’re in the booth, guests tend to be more comfortable hamming it up, or even being more loving, with lots of big hugs and kisses.

While you certainly want to prioritize having a photographer to document all the wedding’s events, a paparazzi-style booth makes for a nice addition during the reception.

Kaiser Permanente’s Annual Tenure Awards were held at the Portland Art Museum in the Kridel Grand Ballroom October 22, 2009. We were honored to be the event entertainment along with a great band and wonderful cirque style aerial performers.

This was the perfect venue to show off a couple of our newest features; full color theme branded print overlays (pictured above) and the super cool instant video slide show installation (shown below). Every guest in every shot received a print with their four poses surrounded by graphics that matched the event theme. Seconds after each shot was taken everyone were able to see their photos instantly projected as part of the room decor 20′ tall across the ballroom walls. These were a couple of touches that we think really made a spectacular addition to the evening.

We can help create your theme and the graphics or  you can use our templates and create your own. Either way, we will make sure it looks GREAT!

My best “Diskus”…. hey, I’ve got to test it, right?

This was our second year helping honor the tenured ( a minimum 20+ year employment ) Kaiser Permanente employes. A company party is a great way to thank key employees for their help and support over the past year. Kaiser treats their coworkers GREAT… as shown by all of the 20+ years honorees. We took over 1000 photo throughout the evening of employees and their spouses.

This special event and venue called for some very special custom themed props. Robin began scouring her “secret sources” for months prior looking for just the right mix of vintage, color and themed items. We brought an easel, a wooden color palette, paint brushes, Italian discuss sculpture, golden art frames, impressionist paintings, hats, glasses, scarves and flowers. Guests mimicked the masters by posing as famous works of art with our special little twists. The Thinker, American Gothic and French Styled Street Painter got everyone into the spirit and made some GREAT photos.

We pride ourselves on being able to get people engaged in the shot and to have a creative, great time. When cohesive props are put on, guests feel comfortable in playing a part…we are constantly amazed at the creative things people come up with once they get in front of the camera. Currently we have over 2,000 unique, vintage, themed and one of a kind props to choose from. Propmaster Robin, is ALWAYS on the lookout for that next special piece.

We love to help with posing ideas, costume ideas and getting people to have FUN in front of the camera. Our Hollywood Style lighting is very flattering and never fails to amaze guests by making them look just like stars.

After the party, we retouch EVERY photo before it’s uploaded to the gallery. All of the guests are able to download their original, high resolution, retouched photos free the very next morning. We know they were anxious to see them, because to date, there have been over 60,000 photo views from the event. WOW!

Here are some examples of our favorite couples, groups and individuals having a great time during this truly wonderful party.

Thanks again for having us!

Jennifer and Shannon

Who knew there was such a great ocean view venue hiding away just south of Newport? Stone Crest Cellars Bed and Breakfast is perfect for a wedding under 100 people. It’s surrounded by trees so you feel like you have the view to yourself.

Jennifer & Shannon enjoyed perfect beach weather and an amazing sunset view as they exchanged vows in front of their family and friends.

Jennifer found us through the “wonders of the Interwebs” and booked us sight unseen. Some people just know! Their pictures turned out great. When asked “How do you get such great pictures?”, I answer, “Well, we start with really good looking people and then work our way backwards.”

Thanks you guys!!

On the picture below, can you see the heart in the clouds?
