You invest significant amounts of time and money in creating a wonderful event, but then it’s over. Afterwards, it might feel like much of that effort was wasted, unless you do a great job of documenting all the fun. That’s where a professional photo booth comes in.

When picking out venues and planning your big day, one aspect of hosting an event that often gets overlooked is the lighting. Many people mistakenly assume that their venue will provide all the lighting that they need. But this is rarely the case, and I should know, because I’ve been working weddings all over Oregon and Washington for the past ten years. Ironically, it’s frequently the most expensive and upscale venues that have the worst lighting. This is because the biggest venues assume their guests will handle the lighting themselves. When you think about it, this makes sense, because couples want to create a specific mood or atmosphere that is best suited for their wedding. Of course, this requires having access to the correct professional lighting for your particular style. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You want everything to be just right, including the aesthetic of the day. Lighting, when done correctly, is one of the best ways to quickly and easily establish the tone that you want, and create the right mood for your guests. So in today’s blog post, we’ll take a look at the various professional lighting options and how they can make your wedding venue really pop.

I’m sure you are extremely excited for your upcoming wedding, while at the same time feeling nervous because you want everything to go just right.

As a wedding professional who’s worked in the industry for over a decade, I have seen the full gambit of emotional displays, from beautiful moments of shared love and joy and touching tributes to deceased family members to complete emotional meltdowns (thankfully these last have been few and far between). Based on my experience, here are some tips for navigating the highs and lows of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
