I’m so happy I convinced Mr. Barrettes to tackle the photo booth project at the last minute! It added a fun extra element to the reception, despite its flaws. I mentioned here how it was made and what we would have done differently.
I’m sure my groom didn’t plan on cutting the board (with what looks to be a cake-cutter) just before it was hung—but ah, it adds character…at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
There was a slight mishap when a guest tried to stand on some empty boxes in order to stand in the taller frame. The boxes slipped out from under her, and she ended up flat on her back underneath the board. As she fell, she grabbed the board and it broke a bit. Thankfully she popped right up with nothing but a bruised ego and we were able to put the frame back together!
Yes, that would be the groom trying to take a bite of the board. Things were starting to go south for him by this point.
Flashing the thumbs-up sign is really cool when you are re-creating a cheesy dance photo from your childhood. We may have done this exact pose 20 years earlier.
Overall, I’m so happy we had this at our wedding! Giving your guests places to hang out, other than on the dance floor is always a good thing.
Love it. Can’t believe you guys are in wedding gear hanging it up.
I love it Mrs. Barrettes!!! SO fun!!! This may be a silly question, but who takes all the photographs when you make a DIY photobooth like this?
You are making me consider doing this! ahhhhh, another DIY….
It looks great! If I had done a photobooth, I would have definitely wanted one like this.
Looks like your guests had a blast with the photo booth!
That photobooth is brilliant and looks like so much fun! You guys did a great job! Where did you attach it to?
I would never have known this was a last-minute project, it looks awesome!
@organicgal:Our 2nd shooter kinda hung out in front of it and took photos. Guests also used their own cameras. It’s such a easy DIY–do it! =)
@Miss Carousel: Hi newbee! We tied it to a wood beam above.
Wow! This looks great and looks like everyone had a blast with it:)
Your photobooth looks great! Love the added touch of the interspersed family photos.
Great photobooth! Hee hee, thumbs up…I think I’m familiar with that!! (c:
As a non-dancer, I love having something to do not on the dance floor. Looks like your guests had a blast!
fab photobooth, girlie - it looks too good to be a last minute project! 
I’m pretty experienced in cutting styrofoam sheets like that (don’t ask), and the best way to get a beautiful, clean edge on that is to use a hot knife, which you can get at a local craft store! 
So great that your guests had so much fun with your photobooth!! It looks awesome, love it.

Mrs. Barrettes, Tumon, Guam/Napa, CA Age and Occupation: 29, Dancer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Licensed Building Contractor Engagement Date: November 16, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: V. Sattui Winery About Me: I'm an East Coast girl, living on a tiny little island in the Pacific, twirling, leaping, and shimmy-ing my way through life, and now, wedding planning! I'm equal parts nerdy and cool... okay, mostly nerdy. I love satin bows, red lipstick, black & white graphic anything, the shine of sequins and the sound of a champagne "pop". My favorite books are The Portrait of a Lady, by Henry James, and Tender is the Night, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I can also conjure a pretty good Patronus Charm. I started my appreciation for good red wine while traveling on the high seas, and it's only fitting that my passion for wine drinking led me to my Napa-bred honey. We bonded over bottles of Cabernet on my oceanfront porch and haven't looked back since. We're sealing the deal at a winery in the Napa Valley on a 'perfect ten' of a day!
