It was a perfect night for a 50th birthday party in the hills above West Linn. Nelson, from FM 105.1′s Nelson & Terry morning show was the birthday boy, celebrating his 50th in grand style at his home with close friends and Paparazzi Tonight. TV anchors Joe Donlon, Russ Lewis, and radio personality Marconi from 101FM were some of the fun faces us paparazzi recognized in the crowd..

What we really loved about this crowd was the creativity of all the men. You could really tell a large majority are on-air personalities and used to being theatrical.

First, before I get to the awesome shots, here’s a great recommendation we received following the party.

Hi Guys!

Randy and I wanted you to know how much we appreciated your participation in his 50th birthday celebration. We both felt that you added a TON of fun to the evening, not just with the photos but also with your own personal interactions with our friends and family. The photos themselves were a HUGE hit! Everyone enjoyed posing and it was hilarious to watch the inhibitions fall away as the evening progressed. You got some GREAT shots! I know our guests really enjoyed going home with a little remembrance of the evening too. The photo album you made is a wonderful keepsake for us as well. I was able to download some single shots the next day and add them to the book to make it even more personal. We have already recommended you to many of our friends and business associates and hope to have you to another event soon!

Thank you again

Randy and Michelle Middleton

Now here are some great pics from the night:

A recent complement we received gave us the idea to blog a little on our design process for the photo prints we create for each event. Here’s the note responsible for this blog entry:

Hi Robin & Erik, Thank you for bringing such fun photo-shooting and photo-sharing experience to us. We have never experienced anything like this. Thank you for sending the Greater China team photos with Cindy in such a clever way. Warmest Regards, Greater China Marketing Director, Nike Golf.

Only one Portland photo booth or event photography company completely custom designs the entire surface of their prints. Guess who? Okay, it’s us.  A print overlay is the part of the print that surrounds the photos sometimes overlaying into the photos. Since most on-site photo booth printers offer minimal customization, we significantly raise the bar by offering complete graphic design and planning. We coordinate with event planners to create unique photo take-aways that enhance memories of the event experience.

It’s a five step process. Erik first accumulates information from the client whether it be a bride and groom or a corporate event. He then researches relevant areas of interests gained from the first step, i.e., an event is for a 100 year anniversary party for a company.  In the third step he seeks out styles, looks, approaches or attitudes, that complement the event. Sometimes clients have existing graphics or logos that can be a starting point. Then he conceptualizes the design and creates Photo Shop graphics incorporating everything he’s learned. In the final step, he sends the client options for their layout. All clients choose, change, and give final approval on each and every photo event we are at.  It’s a fairly involved process and one that sets us apart.

Here are some recent or upcoming events to illustrate the points above:

Summit Entertainment, LLC hired us to be the red carpet photo booth company at the official Twilight Night on June 26. Erik took original artwork and reworked it from a 8′ high by 12′ wide printed backdrop to the overlay you see below. Since we had multiple set-ups under tents it was important to get the backdrop our shooting size. We used part of the graphics, placed the brand logos, and created the feeling and coloring matching the Eclipse movie style. Summit Entertainment had to sign off on the final layout and they loved it.

Here’s one of our favorites. We came up with the entire concept for COMCAST to complement a MADMEN party theme. We had to show all four photos in our “photoboothesque” sequence while retaining the Madmen show feel. Erik thought of the idea of an advertising man reviewing proofs and choosing his favorite. He found the MADMEN man on the couch and re-sized it to fit. He then researched the look of different 1960′s proof sheets and created the film strip border. The one photo circled with an arrow was a nice finishing graphics touch to the concept. Our custom props and vintage gray scale photo conversion made these guest take-aways truly one-of-a-kind. After hours of design, COMCAST approved the layout without changes. I mention the “without changes” part because it highlights our effort to continually make it easy for customers to work with us. By spending the time to conceptualize, research and design a truly fitting photo take-away, we really up the cool factor for everyone.

The two photos below are for a high school reunion. Erik met with the coordinators, discovered that it’s their 30th, their colors, that they were the Beavers. So he coordinated several designs. He had to find the Beaver logo online, clean it up so it would print clearly, find the collegiate looking font, and arrange the placement of all the pieces and colors. He gave them two backdrop choices, orange and white. They will review these two options and get back to us with their ideas.

Here’s a very large event for the Soutwest Washington Medical Center Foundation. We incorporated the provided logo with coordinating backdrop and border colors. We also overlayed the cute star graphics onto the third and fourth photos. We are still in the approval process of this layout.

Serena and Logan are getting married this Saturday. Their wedding colors are yellow, orange and green. We were able to overlay their logo into the four photos so all their printed material is coordinated. We have chosen two backdrops as options and they are shown in the next two pictures. Which do you like?

Here is the print for Amy & Ryley, also getting married this Saturday. We coordinated with the bold coloring in their “Save the Date” mailer. The backdrop will be bright pink and will really give the reception room a good color punch.

Taylor & Brittany are getting married today. Yeah! We went through many revisions in concept before finalizing the layout you see here. Taylor is a fire fighter and a fire fighter theme will be incorporated into their reception. Erik reworked the fire logo to meet copyright standards and incorporated their names into the logo. He found a font consistent with the fonts commonly seen on fire trucks. We’ll shoot in black and white for a more vintage photo booth feel. After dinner we’ll bring out vintage fire props and have a little crazy fun.

For McKenzie and Kevin, getting married on Sunday, we coordinated with their colors of chartreuse and purple, we added their logo swans because Kevin’s last name is Swan, and we matched an unknown font from their invitation sample. They ended up liking the purple on purple:)

Our last example is for a couple getting married next and we are still working with them to find that perfect color theme. Their wedding colors are chocolate, orange, with a touch of green-blue.

Paparazzi Tonight….The Photo Booth without the Booth, where EVERY Guest is the STAR!

Let’s Get Loud! was the theme for the evening event and get loud we did. We had three red carpet photo op stations. We had one red backdrop, one white, and one blue.  We took over 1,000 photos in 3 hours with branded prints for everyone in the shot! We had electric guitars, amps, guitars, brass, tambourines, drums, cow bells, maracas, vintage 4ft megaphone, vintage elvis microphone….oh yes, and kazoos…you get the idea. We also had a very large selection of “get loud” sunglasses, hats and wigs to spice things up even further. Many groups wanted photos without props so they could frame them for their offices, no problem.

At Paparazzi Tonight, we offer a unique event experience mixing guest interaction with corporate brand promotion. Our form of event experience is extremely “sticky”, i.e. well remembered. Guests interact in our portable photo studios creating buzz and excitement for the whole party. The Nike branded prints they left with will be posted at work and at home insuring a long retention of the Nike logo, the event itself, and the great time they had.

Here are photos of our set-up from the night that illustrate this point.

Check out some of the great shots from the night:

Nike Golf Global President Cindy Davis with all the Nike Golf athletes.

Trevor Immelman, showing off his muscle flexing skills reminiscent of his 2008 Masters victory.

Anthony Kim supported by the Nike Denmark team. Kim became only the fifth player in 30 years to have won three times on the PGA Tour before the age of 25.

Stephen Ames, 4 time PGA winner, helping out with some cow bell and tambourine.

David Duvall with one up and close admirer.

Jennelle & Jarred • May 29, 2010 • Aerie at Eagle Landing

When Jen and Jarred look back on their wedding in 20 years, they will have such great memories of the day they said “I DO.”   They’ll also be able to look through their Paparazzi scrapbook and read notes from their guests telling the story of their wedding day.

And what a day it was….a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, wonderful family and friends celebrating in a fabulously decorated indoor and outdoor space, miniature golf for all the guests in the middle of the reception (TRUE!), a vodka ice sculpture luge and Paparazzi Tonight Photo Booth. Can it get any better than that?

Check out our set-up in the upper right hand corner. We fit in with the decor perfectly and had a guest book signing table, prop table and multiple high speed printers to keep the action flowing.  We tailored props bringing them out after dinner insuring we captured a great first round of formal photos before the photo booth mania started!

Now for some great pics from the night:

Coincidence?….. We think not!

It was an all-star event last week at the Caddies 4 Cure “A Night to Chip In” charity event. Caddies 4 Cure works with local NW charities to increase the awareness, participation and support of causes that meet the needs of families and children in the Northwest. We were brought in for a special celebrity photo spotlight where donors could take photos with their favorite sports personalities and take away great photo prints.

We branded the prints with the Caddies 4 Cure logo so the message will travel with the photos. We also printed enlargements immediately that were appropriate for framing. Everyone had a fantastic time and a great deal of money and support was raised.

Take a look at some of the celebrity prints:

Laura Kristi, host of Comcast’s Wanted: Adventure Host with husband, Steve Cronin, Portland Timbers goalkeeper.

Portland Trailblazer legends Jerome Kersey and Terry Porter with donors.

George “ICEMAN” Gervin, a NBA Hall-of-Fame and NBA Top 50 Players honoree, and donors.

Kordell Stewart, NFL Pro Bowl honoree, and donor.

Roy Green, NFL 1979-1992, with Caddies 4 Cure recipients.

Adam Bjaranson, KGW Channel 8 Sports Anchor and friend with George Gervin.

Didn’t get his name but he was one huge man!

And a few favorites just to show you the good times:

Sarah & Savi • May 15, 2010 • Oregon Golf Club

Surely not EVERYONE

A bride asked me recently: “What makes it so easy for you guys to get such great shots of people? Surely, not everyone is easy.” I said “Why not?”

We hear it from first time guests again and again… “oh no, I don’t take good pictures.” “We’ll THAT is all about to change, YOU are not taking pictures tonight, WE are!” 16 seconds later they have done a great pose, jump, dip, kiss, vogue. MAGIC!!

Our belief and experience after 100′s of 1,000′s of photos is that, everyone, from child to 100 yr old, has the desire to have fun and to make memories that last.  Everyone can take GREAT pictures. We think it helps that we try to create a special environment that is very rare.  3-2-1 ….Abracadabra….They laugh, play, and dance like no one’s watching…..and they take great pictures.

Sarah, Savi and their family and friends had no problem getting into to the Paparazzi Tonight mood. Take a look at some of their pics. They were a GREAT group. Little did we know before the night started that one of Erik’s personal dreams would be fulfilled that night… A beautiful bride posing SOLO with a giant green Incredible Hulk hand! YES!

Vintage Hollywood cameras, lighting, and Paparazzi Tonight Photo Booth!

First Independent Bank is celebrating their 100th year anniversary this year and we helped them kick off their year with a big FLASH.

We had two red carpets and Paparazzi Photo Booth set ups to catch the 400 or so employees as they arrived and during their morning meet and greet making sure everyone got their 15 seconds of fame in the photo booth and the pictures for proof.

Here are some shots from the morning. Can you tell it was 7:00 a.m.?

We love working with The Nines Hotel in downtown Portland. They are a superb corporate gala and wedding reception venue. We are proud to be a preferred vendor.

We were honored to be asked to provide our Paparazzi Photo Booth for their VIP client appreciation party recently.  West Coast Events did a stupendous job decorating the Grand Ballroom. It was delightful.

Since it was Chinese New Year, we brought appropriate props as you will see. Here are some examples. We love theme parties and can accommodate any request.

Paparazzi Tonight gave the Woodburn Outlet Mall execs and employees a trip to the podium of the Winter Olympics at the annual banquet.

As people took their pictures, they were instantly projected onto 4 10′ screens throughout the Wellspring Event Center in Woodburn. It was visually very powerful and really got everyone in the “Olympics” mood.

As you can tell, we made many props for the event…A custom backdrop, Howard Cosell and Jim McKay masks, old replica ABC microphones, Olympic torch, skates, medals, skis, snowboards, goggles, hats, sunglasses etc.

Here are some fun shots from the night.

Cricket Wireless Dealer Awards

Portland Photobooth / Photo booth / Event Entertainment

We had a superb time with all the dealers of Cricket Wireless as well as company execs from around the area. We rolled out the red carpet and had a big gold man that had a very similar appearance to Oscar, another famous very large gold man.

A good time was held by all. Here are some pics to prove it.
