Some very dear friends of mine, Mike Richard and Melissa Quantz, were married on July 28, 2007. Melissa is one of my oldest friends, going back to Junior Highschool days in Victoria. My memories of Melis run the gamut from rockin' out to R.E.M. in her parents Westfalia Van on various island camping trips, to almost missing a very important train from Switzerland to Prague back in 1999 when we were doing a little Euro travel.

James and I flew out for M&M's signature wedding at Melissa's parents' house in Oak Bay, and we decided we would try something new to add variety to their photos- The Pure Photo Booth! We created a small photo booth in the living room, with a basic studio light set-up, and the camera on a 10-second timer. Guests were invited to visit the photo booth often to take self-portraits, and a "no peeking" policy was in force. By the end of the night, they had a hilarious ecletic mix of photos to remember their guests by. If you've been wondering where the Bio pics on my website are from...well, now the secret's out! Here's a slideshow of the quirky shots:

We're thinking of making this available to all Pure Photo Group clients, so if you want a Pure Photo Booth of your own at your wedding, let us know!
