Booth Nation

3/4 of the coven

At our fabulous friends Mark and Vicki’s recent wedding, they arranged a photo booth for the reception from Booth Nation.

the coven complete

Apart from being a fantastically fun way to punctuate an evening, it is hilarious to see how buttoned up people are at the start and not so by the end!!!.

Each print is the classic photo booth set of 4 black and white shots and they are just brilliant.

the boys and the girls

I have always had photos up on the wall wherever I lived be it student hovel, shared student flat, rented room or anything since and we’ve carried that on in the hall of our london home with a rogue’s gallery of photos. Just about everyone is represented to a greater or lesser extent.

the lovely bride and groom

No matter how long it is since we saw them or how far away they are, it ensures they are right there in front of us. Some are no longer with us and it’s nice to be able to say hello.

more fun and laughter

They also serve as great memory joggers of all the good times, the passing of life stages of all those we are close to and a daily reminder of how lucky we have been with our gloriously mad families and amazing friends.

shenanigans!

The 30+ prints we ordered from the night of fun and laughter are now in a huge frame to show off the lovely couple, our lovely friends and a fantastic day.

LOL

I have chuckled at each photo while writing this blog and it raises a smile EVERY single time I walk past it.

yey!!

I proper love you lot!!

ta da!!
