What happens when your husband plans a surprise 40th birthday party, in a completely decorated warehouse, with custom colored black lights, a DJ, dancers, all your best friends, and a photo booth? The best time of your life happens, that’s what! Amy White is one lucky lady to have a man go to all the work for her birthday; and some fabulous friends who love her if you count the turnout. This party was one of the best we’ve had the pleasure to attend, and the photos were so great we simply couldn’t choose our favorites! So we decided to do a battle of the poses, group shots vs couples. You decide.

Last night Photobooth Etc had the pleasure of entertaining the spectacular and super hospitable patrons of the Arkansas Hospitality Association’s Stars of the Industry Gala, held at the Clinton Presidential Center. This was our first event at the Clinton Library’s Great Hall, and boy was it grand! The management and staff there were super helpful- Phillip, the banquet manager even helped us cart up all our stuff- and we really enjoyed the beautiful view of the city!

But enough about the venue, on to the great pics we got of the AWESOME folks in Arkansas’s hospitality industry! What a fun group! The guys are the best of the best employees and managers; those that go above and beyond to make their coworkers and customers (that would be us) feel privileged to know them. The hospitality industry is the second largest in Arkansas providing over 100,000 jobs and bringing in over $5.6 BILLION to our state!

We were honored to serve these kind people who have fed, lodged, and entertained us here at home and hope they had a good time taking fun pics in our booth. Here’s a sneak pic of some of Arkansas’s best.

Chocolate Fantasy Ball was truly a ball!

This weekend Photobooth Etc had the honor of entertaining the lovely guests of the 2014 Chocolate Fantasy Ball benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas. The event was as spectacular as the charity itself, which has for over 33 years been creating, finding and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. It’s a charity near and dear to our hearts and we were so pleased to see such a fantastic turnout despite the wintery weather.

All guests will be able to download the high-res images of their photos via a secure download link provided by the RMHCA, but for the purpose of our own indulgence, we decided to feature some of our favorite photos of the night, in no particular order.

PhotoBooth Etc at the Arkansas Bridal Fair!

PhotoBooth Etc at the Arkansas Bridal Fair!

Well we survived our first Bridal Fair and absolutely LOVED IT. The Arkansas Bridal Fair was this weekend at the Statehouse Convention Center and we were so proud to debut our new photo booth to all the lovely brides across the state- all 3,000 of them! We spent Friday night meeting and greeting with the vendors at the Clinton Library and met some really great people. This industry is full of folks who like to have a good time- which is why we fit in so well I guess- and even though there were a few photo booth guys there we all ended up chatting and sharing stories like we were best friends. A little competition is a good thing, right?

Then Saturday we were up early to set up our little corner of the massive room. We didn’t want to be too prop heavy but at the same time showcase some of the variety we have to offer; I think it turned out pretty cute!

We walked around in complete awe of some of the vendor showcases; beautiful flowers, photography, colors, cakes, invitations, linens; the list goes on and on….

We were impressed to say the least, but happy our work was limited to some props and backdrops. 🙂

Then Sunday was the big day and the brides started pouring in at 12 sharp! After all the work leading up to this day, I have to say it was so worth it. They were happy and excited and beautiful- we loved meeting each of them! We’ll be posting some of our favorite photo booth shots to our event portfolio but I was able a snap a few “behind the scenes” pics to capture the mood and adorableness of a few of them. It was so much fun!
