Hannah & Zach's Wedding

We got to booth it up with Hannah and Zach at their Fort Worth wedding alongside our sister company, Kelsey Butler Photography! The Brooks at Weatherford provided the perfect backdrop for their big day, and the reception hall was essentially a gorgeous indoor renovated barn! It was a rainy day, but that couldn't stop the fun. We printed out about a million photos and we even got to watch as guests got creative as they signed the couple's guest book upgrade!

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Doty!!

5 Custom Backdrops that are Perfect for a Halloween Party

Whether you're an adult serving up spooky cocktails with creepy crawly garnishes at a swanky costume party, or you're throwing a kids party for your little ones with adorable goodie bags filled with your favorite candies (save all the peanut butter cups for me, please!), a photo booth would be the perfect addition to all the fun!

We've never seen a sad person in our booth (well, except for the cranky toddler who was up past his bed time!) so we thought we'd share some fun ideas for a custom backdrop that is sure to be the hit of your party!

1. Paper Fan Wall Art

Make your own paper fans out of your favorite scrapbook paper, or go the less time intensive route and run by a local craft store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby to pick up a few packages of paper fans.

2. pumpkin patch Wall Tapestry

Make everyone think your party think you rented out a whole pumpkin patch! This wall tapestry is easy to hang and would make a big statement.

3. hay bales and banners

Create a cool sitting booth for parties with lots of small children. Parents won't get tired of lifting their children up so the camera can see them, and kids will enjoy being able to stand tall on top of the hay bales! Use a solid color backdrop with fall-themed banners to bring out the fall spirit.

4. Metallic Magnolia leaves

Nothing says fall like changing leaves! Ruie + Grace absolutely nailed it with this leafy backdrop, and we think it would be incredible for a photo booth. They used browning leaves, and spray painted some of them gold to mix in for a gorgeous metallic pop!

5. Spooky glam lounge

Raise the bar on the glam factor of your party by including a rich-colored velvet sofa paired with spooky accessories like a birdcage, a witch's broom, old books and lots of pumpkins!

You can rent furniture like this from a couple of our favorite rental companies in Austin: Birch and Brass, Bee Lavish and Loot Vintage.

Hopefully this got your creative juices flowing if a Halloween party is in your future this month! If you are planning an Austin party this October, give us a call! We still have some availability, and we’d love to be a part of the fun!

Kappa Delta Bid Day

We spent Monday evening with the gorgeous ladies of Kappa Delta at the University of Texas! The whole house was decked out in all things green and white, and one of their props was even an overstuffed bear, their sorority mascot! Everyone had a blast in the booth, and hopefully a few new friendships were formed just by taking photos together!

Welcome home, baby KD's!

Alpha Chi Omega Formal

Being a part of Alpha Chi Omega's spring formal was one of the most fun events we've done! So many gorgeous dresses and hilarious photos! Thanks for having us, ladies!

The Sirgo Wedding

Audrey and Grant had their wedding reception at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in downtown Austin and it was so much fun getting to be a part of the fun! During the reception, all the girls (and even a few of the guys!) grabbed some super cute flower crowns that were perfect as impromptu props!

Thanks, Sirgos, for having us at your gorgeous wedding!

GEMS Gala

GEMS United was founded to encourage and empower young middle school and high school girls through sisterhood, philanthropy and integrity. We got to take photos during their swanky black tie fundraiser at Ranch Austin, where guests bid on silent auction items, and we heard a little bit of Lizzie Velasquez's inspirational story.

Thanks for letting us join you, GEMS!

JENISE AND LOGAN'S WEDDING

Jenise and Logan got married at the most beautiful ceremony at Ma Maison! The reception hall was filled with gorgeous tablescapes of tons loved ones, and during the celebration, we got to take some fun photos of their guests!

If you were at the Millsap wedding, find your photos here and download them in high-resolution! Congratulations, Jenise and Logan!

Austin Woman May Launch Event

Austin Woman is one of our favorite publications in Austin! Their staff is some of the best people we know and we were so excited when they reached out to collab on a couple events!

We got to party with them at their Cinco de Mayo event celebrating the release of their May issue, with Mica May on the cover! We could not have been more excited that Mica was the cover girl since we're so obsessed with her brain child, May Designs!
