Mrs. Lightning's Picture
Mrs. Lightning, Cape Town Age and Occupation: 22, Journalist and Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Computer Scientist Engagement Date: December 27, 2008 Wedding Date: September 2009 Venue: Hout Bay Manor About Me: I'm a young American living abroad in the beautiful city of Cape Town with a wonderful South African fiance and our crazy kitty Zeus. We're young, driven and madly in love. Together we're pursuing our wildest dreams including our biggest undertaking yet, a vintage retrospective wedding filled to the brim with DIY madness. I have an unnatural attraction to cake, a passion for blogging and a love of good design. While I might be an overly obsessive creative with too many ideas and nowhere to put them, Mr Lightning is my biggest fan and I can't wait to make my true love mine.

When Lightning Strikes: Behind the Photobooth Curtain :  wedding photography Photobo032

While my recap posts are nearing their end, I still have a few memorable pictures to share. These pictures in particular truly represented the fun we had on our wedding day and I am so glad I fought to have the booth at our wedding in the first place (it isn’t very common here in South Africa). I highly recommend you try to have a booth at your wedding, whether professional, DIY or Polaroid… I promise it’s these you won’t forget!

Just be warned, after a few glasses of wine some of our guests took it upon themselves to do a spot of striptease… it could happen to you too!

And you may notice our wonderful photographer and her assistant taking a moment in front of the lens in the bottom right. :)

Are you on the fence about a photobooth?

I paid for mine! It was a “must have” so instead of having my parents pay for the price, I decided that I would pay for it. So excited!

I know I want/need one, I’m just trying to convince FI that we need one too. My parents are paying for everything, so the least we can do is pay for the photobooth!

Those photos are great!! Makes me even more excited and determined to have one at my wedding! So not on the fence– I have wanted one from day 1. Convincing the FI is harder, but I figured I’d make it my personal DIY project and just surprise him with it! =) I hope it comes out as well as yours did!!

Did you DIY?

We totally want one! And since it’s one thing that FI said he really wanted we’re working the budget to make sure we can.

Definitely not on the fence! We secured a photobooth for our wedding just a couple weeks ago! Glad to hear even more positive feedback on the fun of the photobooth!

Love your photos. we are having one…and using it as our guest book too. We are keeping it super hush so everyone is surprised. I thought my parents would give me a raised eyebrow over this one, but they were super gung ho, yay!
