We Spotlight Photo Booth Nashville: How They Started + How They Serve Brides
Thursday, April 12, 2012
Remember when you were little, and to commemorate just how BFF you and your friend were you'd hop into a photo booth and risk your eyesight for a strip of four black and white pictures that you'd tape to your locker or mirror? Now you can commemorate your wedding day with your new BFF (aka new hubby) thanks to an updated version of that old clunky photo booth machine. And this time around, all of your wedding guests will partake in the nostalgia and take home a memorable favor from your special day!

How many years have you been in business?
5 years
How did you get started in weddings?
When I got married in 2006, I really wanted a photo booth at our wedding. One of my friends in another state had one and it was a huge hit. My husband met the inventor of the patented Model 12 photo booth at a promotional event and we made the decision to bring them to middle Tennessee, where we remain the exclusive vendor with these patented booths to this day.

What do you like most about weddings?
Photo booths at weddings bring people of all ages together from grandparents, who are reminded of the old “dip-and-dunk” photo booths of their childhoods, all the way down to the smallest of kids. At wedding receptions, photo booths not only provide brides and grooms with lasting memories of the fun their guests had, they also allow guests to celebrate together in the most unique way.
What’s your favorite wedding photo and why?
This photo is very special to us for more reason than one. This bride is a cousin of our family. They got married in 2010 at The Parthenon here in Nashville. Tragically, the groom passed away just two days later while they were on their honeymoon. Whenever I look at this photo, it reminds me how lucky we are to be a part of our clients’ most special day, and it punctuates the importance of getting it right and making it special for them. It drives our entire customer service philosophy.

What is your service philosophy?
We did a lot of research before deciding which equipment to purchase when we opened our business in 2007. There’s no question that we offer the BEST photo booths available. The way we’ve developed the reputation as the photo booth company, that all our competitors measure themselves against, is by carefully selecting and training our employees. We make sure the experience we provide is first class and even better than we promise, and we focus on maintaining our relationships with fellow vendors.
We’re on time, we’re professional, our attendants treat our clients’ guests like royalty, and we’re worth every penny of hard-earned money our clients pay to give us the privilege of serving them.
What are your strengths compared to others in your category?
Besides what we said above, NO ONE in middle Tennessee has the equipment to provide as many sittings per hour as we do, and no one else uses dye sublimation printing to produce photos that are of the same quality you’d get at a professional photofinisher.
What attracts brides to your service/company?
The lion’s share of our business comes from referrals, either from people that have experienced our booths at a wedding they have attended, or from a vendor that they’ve hired.
What would previous couples say was the main reason they selected your company?
Most of our previous clients will tell you that their wedding day is no time to settle for cheap imitations. Our spotless reputation as the most trusted photo booth company in middle Tennessee ensures them that once they book us, they won’t have to give it another thought and they can focus on all the other important aspects of their day…like the weather.

Describe the bride/couple that is most attracted to your service/company?
We cater to clients that want the best. Occasionally we’ll get a call from a potential client that asks us to drop our price to what some of the “open air” or “pipe and drape” companies charge. These aren’t our ideal clients. These “booths” are fine for a child’s birthday party, but our ideal client isn’t interested in having a toy at their elegant affair. I can assure you that you’re not going to convince your caterer to provide your guests with the quality food you insist upon at the same price you’d get take-out pizza for. It’s exactly the same thing.
Who are your 5 favorite Nashville wedding vendors – helpfulness, professionalism, style?
Angela Proffitt – Planner Angela and her team have it together, plain and simple. We have worked with them so many times that they know exactly what we need and what rentals with us involve so it makes it so easy to work together.
StudioWed Nashville – We know it’s not a vendor, but they provide awesome services for not only brides, but to vendors in helping to connect us all and support us.
Designs in Paper – Donette and Steve are so incredibly creative with anything and everything to do with paper! We still can’t get over all the things they can come up with. Most importantly, they are wonderful people that go above and beyond for every single person they work with!
JD’s Music – JD himself just always makes us laugh and is a wonderful person! His talent and reputation speak for themselves. He always thinks of others and is great in the world of referrals for other vendors.
Our favorite venue – This is a difficult question. We’ve been really fortunate to have worked regularly at all the finest venues in town including Belle Meade Plantation, Lowe’s, Gaylord Opryland, Bridgestone Arena, Riverwood Mansion, Country Music Hall of Fame and many more. It’s impossible to choose on this one. I guess we’re really lucky to have so many that have been so good to us.
Does your company do anything special that a green, eco-conscious bride might want to know?
I suppose we’re a pretty eco-friendly vendor. We use a little bit of electricity and there’s no waste by-product to our service. We literally take only pictures and leave only memories!
