my Kate Parker Wedding State and Budget: CT, MA, RI, $25-$50K

Number of Years in Business: Photobooth Planet has been in business for almost 2 years now.

Pricing information: Prices are around $1,495 and include everything you need for an amazing event. 4-hours of unlimited photos, a professional attendant on-site for the duration of the rental, a CD of all photos from the event, as well as a password-protected online gallery of your photos.

What makes us stand out? Our booths were designed and fabricated with weddings in mind.  They both preserve the authenticity and mystery of classic American photo booths, but with an understated, elegant feel that complements weddng décor.  Using the latest in digital technology our booths quickly print out duplicate, high-resolution, glossy photo strips for the guests.  The first thing guests comment on is the quality of the photos.  They are never going to look better than they will at your wedding – they’re thrilled to have unlimited access to high quality photo strips with you, their friends, and their family.

What’s something cool about your service or what you can do with it? Because we print out duplicate strips, the guests keep theirs as a wedding favor and the other goes into a photo guestbook that our attendant assembles right there on site.  Guests are encouraged to put thoughtful, witty, meaningful messages (no pressure!) in the guestbook.  The couple getting married receive a beautiful album at the end of the night along with a CD with all the images that were taken during the reception.

What’s the favorite part of my work? The reality is that people are literally delighted by the photo booth experience.  The photo booth both creates and captures memories and that, in turn, produces a lot of joy.  I tell my kids that daddy “delights people” for a living.  And it is an intergenerational attraction.  Young people obviously have a lot of fun with it, but even people in their 80’s remember piling in the photo booth at the boardwalk when they were kids.  It’s evokes a wonderful nostalgia for them.  Earlier this year I did a wedding with a 95 year-old great-grandma in attendance.  She was in a wheel chair so we pulled out the photo booth seat and wheeled her right in.  For the next twenty minutes, the whole family – bride and groom, aunts and uncles, great grandkids, and cousins had their pictures taken with this lovely woman who was obviously very important to them. They all went home with a stack of irreplaceable photo strips. That was a highlight for me.

What do I like to do in my spare time? Well I have three children under the age of six so spare time is limited. When I’m not photo-boothing, or caring for/enjoying my kids I like to play pick up basketball.  I do have another business that I started as a hobby with a good friend of mine.  It is a social venture called “The Providence Granola Project” that equips and empowers newly-arrived international refugees to enter the workforce.  We produce and market gourmet granola.  Check it out at www.providencegranola.com.

What charity am I supporting and why: I am supporting the American Cancer Society because cancer has been a villain in the lives of several members of my extended family and am aware of the devastation it brings.

The booth looks great in the corner of the venue. It’s where guests can conveniently take pictures as a keepsake from your amazing wedding

There’s no limit to the amount of memories you can make!

To the couple:  Be sure to take a few minutes to enjoy the booth with each other, friends and family.
