The Tuesday Ten | Photo Booth Fun! ~ Stacey Hansen Photography

We are sooo excited to bring you today's Tuesday Ten Post. It's officially a go with our Photo Booth and we are beyond thrilled to start offering it as an event option! Let me introduce you to The Time Capsule Photo Booth!

1. Let me start at the beginning. If you check out the "Our Story" page of our website it will tell you how the photo booth idea came to be. The short version... Andy and I had been talking about getting married for a few months. We wanted a low key but FUN wedding. We had heard about a photo booth from my sister and her friends wedding years ago. So we looked into pricing. The booth we liked was about $1000 to rent for our wedding reception, ouch! Andy decided to build one instead that we could offer at a much lower cost but with the same quality. So the process began!

2. Andy and his friend Klay got busy designing and building the frame work. It's super easy to put together and comes all the way apart so it's fairly easy to transport. They did some awesome design on it! Here is a progress photo of that...

2. We started thinking about business names. That was actually pretty hard! We didn't want to copy another photo booth or have anything similar to someone in Utah so we came up with The Time Capsule Photo Booth.

3. While it was being built I started working on a Logo. Ignite Artistry by Sandra designed our logo and we love it.

4. Another background design was the website. I had it up and running in no time, just missing some photos to go with it. Once it was built I added a few photos. Check it out at www.thetimecapsulephotobooth.com

5. Lights, Camera, Action.... Well almost. We needed the electronic's. Andy picked out the photo booth software and printer while I shopped for a computer, monitors and camera. I think it came together really well! I love the program we use and it has tons of options!

6. Assembly Time. We put it all together to make sure it worked with no hick ups. We sat in our basement with it hooked up for days and played around with options. I love the touch screen monitor we got for it! Makes using the booth super easy, even kids can do it!

7. Paint time! We actually didn't have a hard time picking a color. We love this grey paint and use it a lot (Check out our basement above...)

8. Test Time! We needed an official event to test it at. The two of us could use it but would it work for others during an event? We needed to find out. We took it to my moms for my nephews Ninja Turtle birthday party... the result? Well it was a blast! It was a great practice event for us and helped us understand what we needed to set it up, time it took and what else was missing before it could be rented out. It wasn't 100% done and we got a good list of things to fix/do after that event.

9. Final Touch. We finished the lights, backdrops, mounting the screens, the seat, vinyl, getting props and it was ready to use! Again we set it up (in our garage this time) and played around. Andy and I actually have a blast with this. I think it will be a HIT at our wedding! A huge thanks to Andy's mom, Julie, for sewing all our backdrops! I am not sewing savy so having her help out was tremendous!

10. Go time! We have used it at 3 events and have 4 more booked coming right up! It's a fun option for weddings, birthdays, reunions, corporate events and more! We provide set up, take down, a cd of your photo strips, props and an attendant to help out!
