Great Momentos from your party!

The great idea about the digital aspects of our photo booth is that we capture photos large enough to offer you a lifesize photo of yourself.  Our keepsake prints that we print on site are 4x6 or 5x7's, but because we capture everything digitally doesn't mean you have to walk away with just that 4x6 or 5x7.  In fact you can create any design or pattern of many different pictures that you like.  That is what I like about photo booth pictures.  One picture tells a little story, but add 3 or 4 pictures and the story gets better.  Add more and you start to see a person's character come through!


What a great gift it would be to give your new hubby a framed collage of fun portraits of yourself! 

Or don't think of the photo booth as just for your big party.  Jump in the photo booth months before you big day and create an innovative wedding announcement and invitation.  Or even after all is said and done, but it's time to send out the thank you notes.  What a great way to say thank you by creating a collage of your favorites photo booth memories from your wedding and make it into a thank you card.

Remeber anything is possible with digital.  If you can think it, trust me, we can do it!

We have tons of fun being a part of everyone's events.  However we are always busy working on the computers, printing the prints out in a timely manner and making sure everyone walks away from our fun photo booth happy and excited.  We want to hear from our patrons!  The people that have made our photo booth a great success around the Cape Fear Region.  What stories do you have, the pictures that were created, the friends you made.  Were we intricate in being a part of meeting your Mr./Mrs. Right?  Did we give you a momento from a reunion of old friends?  Were you having the worst day of all get out and did that one click make the sunshine again?  What?  Tell us!

Wedding at the Dudley Mansion

Full Sail Photography had the honor to be part of a GREAT wedding at the Dudley Mansion here in Wilmington, NC this past Memorial Day weekend:)  The wedding was just before sun down and they couldn't of picked a better time and place for their wedding.  The estate has a formal backyard garden/party area that was beautiful when the warm glow of the setting sun began to envelope it. 

The whole setting kinda made me wish I had a seersucker suit, cigar and a mint julep, but unfortunately that had to wait, it was time to take some photos and make people laugh!  Over all, we shot over 700 photos and gave enough prints away to doubly satisfy every guest at the event.









I have to give Melissa Williamson props for being the wedding photographer at this wedding.  She seemed to always be in two places at one time!  Enjoyed meeting you Melissa and hope to work with you again! 










The guests were fantastic!  They highly enjoyed the photo booth:)  Some more than others, but that is what it's all about.  Take as many photos as you want!  Take one with every friend and then put them together in the end to have a memory keeper!  

The Photo Booth!

A lot of people are interested in how the photo booth will be set up and what comes with renting our fun booth.  It's dimensions are 31/2'wide x 5'long and 7' high.  It is nostalgic from the booths that use to pepper the boardwalks of beach towns and the malls of America.  You remember the ones.  You and your friends would run into them, make some funny faces, pay a nickel, and wait a minute while it spit out that strip of black & white pictures that always found their way back to your memory after 20 years of sitting in your dresser drawer.  Well this booth is as you remember it!  Small, cozy and private.  Roomy enough for two but big enough for (the record right now is 8) people.

With all this digital craziness now-a-days we supercharged our photo booth so not only it's as how you remember it from yesterdays, but it's got all the bells and whistle you could wish for with digital photography.  The pictures are a whopping 21 megapixels (big enough for lifesize photos if you wish) from a  professional Canon 5d MarkII camera and professional modeling light that offers great zainey portraits to be had.  We painted the backdrop a brilliant saturated red that adds warmth, liveliness and goes great with white dresses;)

That's just the booth.  You also get to great and funny photographers who help you choose the pictures you get to go home with.  With our photo booth you get to shoot as many pictures as you please and then the best ones you choose are printed for you to go home with!

I am not bragging, but I have yet gone to an event with this photo booth and not have a bad time!  It truly is a party maker:)  If you have any more questions and want to see more photos please visit our site at www.fullsailphotography.com or say hi on facebook at FullsailPhotography fan page.
