The Bash 2019 - Calgary Black and White Photo Booth kickin’ out timeless & classic portraits

What didn’t we love about this wedding market? NOTHING. Seriously. Being part of this wedding show was like rolling up to the most happening cocktail party in town and rubbing shoulders with the who’s who of the Calgary wedding and event industry. Local DJ provided an awesome kickback to mid-90’s early-2000’s hip hop and radio hits (think No Diggity and Shoop by Salt & Pepa.) We had THE BEST time hanging out with #bossbabes, #bridetribes and #girlgangs that made us remember why we created this luxury black white photo booth business in the first place. Love is all around us all the time. And, that statement is never more true than on a wedding day. It feels like absolute magic to photograph the true connection that happens in front of our camera when besties, moms and daughters or a group of ladies sit for a portrait in our black and white photo booth.

This will go down in history as our favourite wedding shows of all time …. until next year that is. Below are a few of our favourite portraits from some vendors we met and absolutely fell in love with. Thank you for stopping by for a portrait lovelies xoxox

We have to give a major shout out to these fine ladies below. Shannon, Sarah and Natalie are the masterminds behind The Bash and are singlehandedly changing the definition of what a “Wedding Fair” is. They designed a thoughtful, curated wedding market featuring wedding vendors who actually give a s&*t about creating an amazing wedding experience for their clients. Thank you for inviting our Calgary black and white photo booth to your event.

They say it in their tag line, but it’s truly is the ONLY wedding show you need to attend.

… and finally, the incredible #bossbabes behind The Bash. Shannon, Sarah and Natalie, you are an inspiration.

Hanging out at The Bash was so much fun. We had the best time chatting with other Calgary wedding vendors (the best in the city, by the way) but our absolutely favourite part was photographing couples, bride-tribes, friends who’ve been besties since kindergarten and moms, daughters & sisters. Be still our hearts!

We delivered more than 700 portraits from just two short days at The Bash. That’s 700 photos of people in love, family, friends & loved ones alike. When we have the opportunity to capture love and genuine connection, it reminds us why we designed this luxury black and white portrait photo booth in the first place. The images we produce are classic & timeless and will end up being framed on the walls of people’s homes to be enjoyed for generations.

That makes us truly smile from ear to ear.

Finally, I would be remiss if we didn’t include the sweetest family photos we captured at the event as well. I love photographing little kiddos so much we might even consider launching a black and white portrait business photographing littles and making them look like rock starts. I think this might end up being “a thing”.
