Here I am with two friends. We’re demonstrating a relatively new addition to the arsenal of party “supplies”.
In recent years, photographers, DJs, and others have begun offering photo booths to liven up special events. (You, too? Not me, but stay tuned.) The good-looking fellow with me is Scott Vlha, of Doorstep Photo, one of the busiest photographers in the SF Bay Area. I bump into Scott at private and corporate functions all the time.
Here I’m with Linda Kinsella, whose company, Screenbooth, provides a combination photo & video device (she calls it a “digital guestbook”) that’s been a sure-fire hit at anniversary, birthday, graduation, and retirement parties, as well as at weddings.
Ever see one of these photo booths in action? They can be great for keeping a festive party loose and hilarious. They can also preserve a more somber, reflective, poignant mood. Most people can’t resist, so next time to see one, just stand back, watch, and you’ll be joining in soon enough.
There’s always something new at parties these days. Yet tradition demands some things stay unchanged. Who knows better where to draw the line than a wedding coordinator? Her job is to blend the old with the new (as well as “something borrowed, something blue”). I work closely with many top coordinators all the time, and the band recently entertained at the APCWC graduation celebration. That’s Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants. They enjoyed a wonderful brunch that day, and my friend Amy Frugoli, of Twitterpated Weddings, took this photo.
The band will be playing at two big fund-raising events this Saturday, and we entertain somewhere in the SF Bay Area nearly every day. I’m always on the lookout for our next opportunity. Holiday parties are coming up, and if we can help you, please call us at 408-245-9120. Visit MagnoliaJazz.com for our schedule, and catch us at a public event soon.
