LaVille Special Needs Prom Photo Booth

    I just got back from one of the neatest events I’ve ever been to. Parents, teachers, students, businesses, and social workers all joined forces to put on a Prom for the special needs students in Central Northern Indiana. The event was the dream child of a parent who believed that many of the special needs students miss out on the High School Prom Experience. While some of the students do attend their school’s Prom, many do not. The decision was made to open the event up to special needs students from all of the local area schools instead of having a small party for the students of a single school. The result was a real prom with a lot of people that had a blast. One things truly unique about the event is that EVERYTHING was donated. The community and area businesses the suits and gowns, the food, the music, the limo ride that brought the students to the door, the decorations. In addition to the services and financial contributions, volunteers spend hundreds of hours making the event a success. Next to the candy bar, I believe the photo booth might have been the biggest hit. The kids loved it and all used it several times. I even ended up it once or twice with a few of them.

              Birthday Photo Booth

                Last weekend, we took the photo booth to celebrate Emily’s 6th birthday. The theme was Disney’s Frozen. The young girls 9and adults) all had a blast with the photo booth.

                IEA Regionals- Photo Booth

                  Last weekend, we had the photo booth at the IEA Regionals Dinner held at Culver Academy’s Penske Center for the second year in a row. This year, timing worked out really well as the dinner was a little delayed and the photo booth gave the participants something to do while waiting. The photo booth was very popular with a line most of the night.

                  Indianapolis Photo Booth

                    On Saturday, we took the photo booth to Indianapolis for the reception of Jessica and John who had gotten married two days earlier in New York City. Their reception was held at the Fort Harrison Conference Center overlooking the beautiful golf course at Fort Harrison State Park. Having grown up within a few miles from there, it was nice returning and seeing how the “base” had changed over the years since its closing.

                    The photo booth was a great addition to the reception and was very popular throughout the evening. Everyone used it a few times and had a lot of fun with it.

                    I’ve posted the photos from the evening to: http://www.culverphotos.com/2015_booker_pb

                    Bride Blu Photo Booth

                      Last weekend, I returned for my second year, to the Blue Chip Casino for their annual Bride Blu Wedding Expo. As always, Blue Chip casino and Wedding Day Magazine did a wonderful job setting up and promoting the show. On Sunday, there were over 600 registered brides! As always, the photo booth was quite popular. I’ve posted the photos from the show to: http://www.culverphotos.com/2015_bride_blu

                      East Lake Holiday Party- Photo Booth

                        After the holidays, things calmed down a little a I was asked to provide a photo booth to Eastlake Nursing and Rehabilitation for their annual post holiday party. This year, their party was held at the Anthenian Ballroom in Elkhart which I’ve now been to a few times. The doctors, nurses and staff loved the photo booth most managed to go through a couple of times.

                        New Years Eve Photo Booth

                          This year, we returned with a photo booth to the Lakehouse Grill in Culver with the photo booth for the second year in a row for their annual New Years Eve Celebration. The years theme was the roaring 20s which a lot of people got into the spirit of with their costumes. The photo booth was a huge hit.

                          Josandra & Rick Photo Booth

                            On New Year’s Eve, I traveled with the photo booth to the Brick in South Bend for the wedding of Jasondra and Rick. Being a combination of a New Year’s Eve Ceremony and a Wedding Reception, the atmosphere was joyous and a lot of fun. Everyone had a great time with one another and with the photo booth. Most people went in the photo booth numerous times. I’ve posted the photos from the evening to http://www.culverphotos.com/2014_nye

                            Boling Vision Christmas Party Photo Booth

                              Last night, I took the photo booth further north than I’ve had to for any prior event. With a referral from a prior rental, I was asked to have the photo booth at the Christmas party for Boling Vision Center held in Granger at the Knollwood Country Club which is only a mile or two from the Indiana/Michigan State Line.

                              The photo booth was a hit with the guests as were the Christmas props which only get used this time of year. I’ve posted to the photos to http://www.culverphotos.com/2014_bvc

                              Wedding Photo Booth- Courtney & Jorge

                                Last night, I traveled with the photo booth to the Athenian Ballroom in Elkhart for the wedding of Courtney and Jorge. Having never been to this venue, I was shocked by the charm and beauty of this little gem in downtown Elkhart. An added bonus of the evening was a great staff that was accommodating and easy to work with.

                                The photo booth was a huge hit that was busy most of the night. Most of the kids and adults used the photo booth multiple times. The guests were some of the nicest that I’ve encountered. (A couple of them even helped picked up the prop table and pitched in to help gather boa feathers from the floor.) It was a long evening (4 hours) but a lot fun. I’ve posted the photos to http://www.culverphotos.com/11_1_14_courtney_jorge

                                South Bend Halloween Party- Photo Booth

                                  Friday night, I traveled to South Bend with the photo booth for Evil Czech’s Halloween Bash. The party had lots of people, incredible costumes, great music, good food, and of course great craft beers. Everyone enjoyed had a lot of fun and the photo booth was very popular.

                                  Woodcraft Wedding Reception- Photo Booth

                                    This past weekend, I didn’t have to travel very far with the photo booth as the wedding was here in Culver. Held on Culver Academy’s campus at the Woodcraft Dining Hall was special for me as this is where Ginny and I had our reception 19 years ago. (I only wish we could have had a photo booth at our but they’re really weren’t around or available then.) The wedding party and guests had a ball using the photo booth. At most weddings, the photo booth starts a little slow and builds throughout the evening. This was not the case. When we opened, we had a line of at least 20 people which continued most of the night.

                                    Akron Fall Festival- Photo Booth

                                      This past Friday, Akron Elementary invited our photo booth back for the third year to participate in their school carnival. Though I had never visited Akron, Indiana prior to my visit, their school will always be special for me. Three years ago, Akron Elementary was the first school carnival that I was asked to participate in. Each year, the kids, and even few teachers and parents have a blast using the photo booth and our fun props. I’ve posted the photos to: http://www.culverphotos.com/2014_akron_fall

                                      Swan Lake Wedding- Photo Booth

                                        Last night, I traveled to Swan Lake with the photo booth for the wedding of Ashley and Joel. As always, Swan Lake looked beautiful and did a wonderful job with the event. The photo booth very popular and enjoyed all evening.

                                        Wedding Photo Booth- Lori & Ben

                                          Last night Ginny and I traveled with the photo booth to the Chetnix Memorial Hall in Crown Point, Indiana for the wedding of Lori and Ben. Having been at several wedding receptions in the past with the booth, last night was noticeably different. The photo booth was popular from the start with a line from the time I opened that lasted for at least 2 hours. (Usually, the photo booth takes a little time to pick up as no one wants to be the first. Also some people need a little liquid courage to relax and be crazy in the booth. This was not the case last night!) The guests, and the bride and groom, had a ball with the photo booth and enjoyed some of the new props that we bought for the event. Most people went through several times. Ginny and I had a lot of fun working the photo booth as everyone was so nice and everyone was having a blast. (We’re also partial to August weddings as we celebrate our own 19 year anniversary in a couple of days!)

Emma, and Oliva) at a private residence overlooking beautiful Lake Maxinkuckee. Though everyone was worn out from 4 days of running around, celebrating with friends and family, crying, and staying up later than is healthy, they still enjoyed using the photo booth.

                                                    South Bend Wedding Photo Booth

                                                      On Saturday, we traveled to South Bend’s Century Center with one of our photo booths for the wedding reception of Parise and Lwan. As always, the century Center did a great job. However, a big shoot out goes to Angela, the wedding planner at Beautiful Bliss Weddings and Events (http://www.beautifulblissweddings.com/) for creating an elegant event with everything thought out to include a fireworks show. Things went very well, were classy, and (from a vendor viewpoint) organized.

                                                      The photo booth was a big attraction for the guests at the reception. People had a blast with it and were laughing and having fun while using it throughout the evening. I’ve posted the photos to: http://www.culverphotos.com/5_31_14_wedding

                                                      Culver Academy Graduation Party- Photo Booth

                                                        Last night I returned to the Culver Coffee Company with the photo booth for a group graduation party. This is my second year setting up the photo booth on the Friday before Graduation for a group party. (Everyone had so much fun last year these students contacted me in the late summer to make sure that they’d get their date reserved.) As always, everyone had a lot of fun with the booth.

                                                          Last night, we had a photo booth out at The Bourbon Back Forty for Bremen’s 2014 Prom. Kudos goes out to the Bremen’s Art Teacher and the decorating committee for making everything look beautiful! The students had a blast and LOVED the photo booth. We were non-stop all night and I felt bad shutting it down at the end. (If I hadn’t, I think they would have used it half the night.)

                                                            Last night, we had one of the photo booths at Culver’s Homestead for the Class Party for the Silver Class of 1989. The returning alumni loved the booth and had a lot of fun using it with their friends. I’ve posted the photo to http://www.culverphotos.com/reunion89

                                                              On Friday night, we had the photo booth at Culver Academy’s Class of 1984 After Party. It was nice seeing everyone again as I was a Freshman their senior year. As expected, the photo booth was a huge hit as everyone enjoyed getting photos with their former classmates.
