A Royal Wedding Reception in Wilmington

Wilmington's "Kate and William"

Kate and William might have danced the night away in Buckingham Palace, but Wilmington's fashionistas celebrated the royal nuptials Friday evening at The City Club in downtown Wilmington.

Full Sail Photography, Cape Fear's Premiere Photo Booth, was there to capture all the fun. We had a great time with the guests, and judging from the pictures so did they once they stepped in the booth.

"Style Girl" Jess James put the reception soiree together, ensuring it'd be fun and fashionable night.

          The Three Divas           

Kickstand Events decked out The City Club, which glowed with grand curtains lit by blue lights and candle-filled lanterns hanging from the trees.

Hairdos were festooned with feathers and flowers, many of the pieces coming from Jan Wutkowski's aMuse Artisanal Finery.

And since no party is complete without cake, The Three Divas delivered big time with a towering cake in Wedgwood Blue and topped by an icing replica of Princess Diana's tiara.

Truly, a night fit for royalty.

Old Ideas, New Generation

Full Sail Photography traveled from the Cape Fear Coast to North Carolina's mountain city, Asheville, this past weekend for a beautiful wedding reception at Waynesville Golf and Country Club.  The afternoon was sun-drenched tinted by the hues of the blue ridge mountains.  Golfers, who finished their early 18, sat on the back porch inquisitively watching Ian Curcio and I set up Full Sail's premiere photo booth on the back lawn of the country club.  Ian, who we hired to help, was just as inquisitive to see how the dismantled booth, which fits snug in the back of my pick-up truck, will assemble into a place where fun happens and smiles are created.

I was talking with an older gentleman after he had the pleasure of using our booth for some unique portraits of him and his wife of 30 years and had asked him if our booth resembles the old fashioned photo booths he remembered from his younger years.  His replied made me smile.  He said though our booth has a little more space inside to sit down the memories of sharing the cramped seat of the photo booth at the county fair with pretty girls came to his mind.  One of those pretty girls he exclaimed as he leaned over to my ear was his wife:)  Ohhh to have that photo strip of him and his wife back in the days and then the photo strip we offered them this past weekend...That would look nice in a frame!

A little girl of no more than 3 or 4 found the photo booth to be a place of joy and happiness, however she was not tall enough to reach down and tap the foot pedal from the seat within the photo booth herself.  Luckily, with our professional software, Full Sail Photography not only has the capability of allowing our guests an innumerable amount of photos to be taken by themselves via a foot pedal, but we can also trigger the camera from our own computer terminal, allowing for some surprises and antics to ensue.  In this case, it allowed a little girl to open up and dance upon the seat and free herself from restrain creating, in my opinion, some of the cutest photos to be taken:)

Full Sail Photography has had the opportunity to be part of a couple parties already this season and had a blast meeting new friends.  By the looks of some of the photos taken they had a blast meeting us;)

It's not to late you know!  Give us a call today and book us for your next big event.  Yes!  We would Love to come to your Christmas Party!  Yes, thank you.  We would be happy to be part of your "Festivus for the rest of us" Party!  Bar Mitzvah?  Sure!  Thanksgiving?  We like big ol' turkey legs:)

We have yet found a place our photo booth is not welcome!  Nor a people who did not enjoy the squashed happiness of fitting 8 people in our booth!   Take for example these pirates we had an opportunity to sing jolly sea songs with!  The worst of the lot and yet they are all smiles in our booth!  Go on...give us a try!

Jess James bedazzles Wilmington with her Style

Spent a fantastic night at 128 South in downtown Wilmington for yet another great party hosted by Jess James and her Style swapping fanatics:)   Huge storm clouds and thundering claps of lighting fell upon the city earlier that day but did not stop the attendance nor the energy of the crowd.

As always our Premiere Photo Booth was another huge success sending the ladies into a tivy over their favorite pictures.  Don't worry ladies if you want to view all the pictures head over to our online gallery and check them out here!  That is if you have the password;)  If you don't and want a taste of what the night involved check us out on Facebook.

Special call out to the Dessert Divas and their multimedia savy for capturing the night on video.  That's right the Desert Divas, known for their glamorous cakes, can also handle a video camera too!  Of course it would not be right if I didn't give a huge thank you to my lovely wife Vicky Eckenrode (errr...Janowski) if she hadn't help me out last night making everything run smooth:)  

Looking for an extra something something for your next big event...Halloween is right around the corner and then all those crazy christmas parties....think about a photo booth!  It might be just what your looking for;)  Give us a call and say hello!

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!

Tells us your stories!!!

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!
