November 2018 - Zuster Photo Booths

Erin & Jarrem say “I do”

Another weekend, another wedding. And what a way to start the weekend. We get to visit some pretty great places and Shadow Fax Winery is no exception. Located in Werribee right next to Werribee Park Mansion, we are taken to Shadow Fax to celebrate the wedding of Erin & Jarrem. A modern A-frame building surrounded by a luscious green lawn area and the vineyard of course. Friday November 2nd, 2018 was a really warm day by Australian standards and very windy, which of course is another weather condition not uncommon in Victoria.

Vintage Caravan Photobooth

I set up our Little Black Booth with the alfresco area to accompany it. The set up takes place prior to guests arriving for the outdoor ceremony, so I have front row seats for all the action. Erin arrives looking absolutely stunning and both her mum and dad walk her down the isle. Following the ceremony, guests have the chance to enjoy a beverage in the sunshine, mingle and make use of the caravan photo booth. People are always blown away by the booth and I will never get sick of hearing that “it’s the best photo booth I have ever seen”.

Trying to Break a Record

As the night progresses I got much busier and people were really enjoying sticking their photo booth strips in the guest book the bride and groom had provided. The messages always start out quite conservative and by the end of the night, end up quite funny. Both Erin & Jarrem’s family members were amongst my booth guests, it was so lovely to see all generations having fun together! I love that there’s no boundaries with a photo booth. We also had a group of people try to set a record with the most amount of people to fit in our caravan. The record stands at about 13 (perhaps a couple more) from memory and I lost count at 11 on this occasion, so it came pretty damn close!

Overall, a really fun night interacting with all of Erin & Jarrem’s guests and I look forward to visiting Shadowfax Winery again some time very soon. Congratulations to the happy couple, it was an absolute pleasure!

Bendigo Weddings

27th October 2018. Lauren and Cameron are from Geelong but chose to get married just out of Bendigo at a place called Chateau Dore, so it’s off we go on yet another road trip. I research most venues before arriving so I know what to expect but this time, I had got caught up with the onslaught of wedding season that I just didn’t get around to it. Just over 2.5hrs on the road and I pulled in the driveway. Here stood a stunning venue built back in the 1866.

In the main room, there were three long tables, beautiful green foliage installations hanging form the ceiling and a dance floor near the bar that would get everyone on their feet. I set up the open air booth in the front room where Lauren had requested to use the existing wall as a backdrop. Sometimes this makes me a little nervous just in case it isn’t suitable but to Lauren’s credit it was simply perfect. An old stone and brick wall with a simple floral arrangement hanging from the rafters. Did I mention I was situated right across from the delicious dessert bar? Donuts galore, yoyos, hedgehog and wedding cake just to name a few. Perks of the job I guess!

Open Air Photobooth

Our retro photo booth in black wood and white gloss really tied in with this venue. Gone are the days of big ugly photo booths, and thank goodness for that! People were very impressed with the set up and it wasn’t long before the booth didn’t see any down time. Lauren had her own custom guest book made so all her friends and family were able to leave a copy in the book and write them a personal message. As much as I love digital media and our GIF booth, there’s still something really special about getting the print out and sharing the memories with friends and family. It really gets people of all generations involved.

Let’s take a look

Check out the pics I took on the night. I think you’ll be just as impressed as I was, with every choice Lauren and Cameron made. Congratulations to this wonderful couple, we wish you all the very best for married life!
