After two years photographing Boston weddings at CityLux Studios, we noticed that half the weddings we attended had photo booths. The Styles, options, and prices were all across the board…
TIME TO GET TO WORK
When we got Lucky, we assumed (like people usually do with most projects) that it would be much faster, easier (and less expensive…) than it actually was. We figured it would take a few months to fix her up and be ready by summer to bring to some weddings. Well, that was wrong on a whole number of levels. A lot of the work was way past our abilities to get done on our own. Our estimates for bodywork and paint were off, and trying to build something custom would take much longer than we ever anticipated.
PUTTING Lucky ALL TOGETHER
While we wanted to make Lucky more modern & polished, we also wanted to keep some of her original character that we fell in love with. So we polished up most her but made sure to keep a few dings and dents. Atop the trailer sits a custom lighted sign, and we installed wiring with a way to plug her into standard electric. Inside we can also plug in other electronic devices like twinkle lights and speakers. As a finishing touch and to give her a fun vibe, we put together an entire look using chairs, rugs, plants, and other small details. We wanted to make Lucky inviting and somewhere to hang out at your event. Not only is Lucky an awesome photo booth, but she’s also a whole experience for you and your guests.
The actual photo booth itself was our vision and it was custom built by us. Lot’s of DJs and photographers buy and use the same setups from other companies, but we wanted something built tailored to us. So we created a custom wood box for our booth and built it to our own specifications. We put together a high end touchscreen laptop, with a Canon Camera, nice lens, lighting, and speedy printer.
We think Lucky is awesome and hopefully you’ll feel the same! She can’t wait to meet you.
