Introducing our new Photo Spoof

The Photo Booth with a Twist!

Every wedding or event I have photographed with some kind of photo booth has always been a huge success. A guaranteed hit with the guests. With the help of several adult beverages and some fun props, the guests love to transform into their alter ego.  On July 21, at their Main Street Station wedding, Katie and Andrew Fauth gave me and my two assistants Katherine Smothers and Melinda Kemp, the opportunity to try it out for ourselves. The guests weren't the only ones having fun.  Here are some of the results.

Kim and Chris, May 5, 2012

I have always loved the Shockoe Bottom area, and especially, Havana 59, otherwise known as "The Paris of the Caribbean" http://havana59.net/.  On May 5,  I had the pleasure of photographing Kim and Chris' wedding reception there following a ceremony at the Edgar Allen Poe Museum www.poemuseum.org/ also an interesting and unique venue.

There's something about the rustic, muted colors, the string lights, crumbling plaster walls, palm trees that wets my visual appetite. I wanted to capture the Havana of the 1950s even though I was there to photograph a wedding reception. Kim and Chris felt the same way and allowed me to photograph them wherever and whenever I wanted.  They encouraged my photographic creativity and were open to anything I suggested. It was a photographer's paradise!
