Vendor Feature | Photo Booth - MDRN Photobooth Co.

7/16/2015

I am a little bias on this one. I'm not sure exactly how I found my new friends at MDRN Photobooth Co., I think someone had shared a post on Facebook that they were looking for people to work the booth. My eyes caught to it immediately, since I was still looking to work for myself, and not be an employee, but still wanting to bring in a little more money while I was building up my wedding gigs. AND it was photography related. I jumped on my email and chatted it up with Catalina. I have now been a Booth Butler since October.

They are just so different from any other photo booth out there. They refuse to be the cliche, typical, tacky photo booth  (overtime I see a different photo booth it's oversized glasses and boas, really?!). It's not too hard to have a backdrop, a camera and some props. That is now the widespread, everyone and anyone is doing photo booths. MDRN is fancy, classy (sassy) and full of sparkle. Literally. They make their own custom sparkly props and only have sparkly backdrops.

Saying they are customizable is a complete understatement; everything is customizable. There's nothing they won't try. From props, to backdrops, to print templates, to the booth itself. We can now customize to BE YOU if you want! Due to desire of corporate companies, we can now wrap the machine!!!

We get compliments every time of how different we are (uh oh, here I am saying "we" already! I have become so personally invested in this company) and that we aren't the typical boxed in photobooth. Again, we are literally open space. But enough of me. I'll let Catalina take over:


"At MDRN Photobooth, we’re as unique as a Kardashian with a first name that starts with an R.

Our photobooths are customized to reflect your personal aesthetic taste so that, no matter what, when it’s time to say “cheese!” you know that your guests will be fighting to have their photo taken.

We offer standard and custom props to give your photobooth that little extra something – like when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the Golden Globes and everyone loved it because those two women can do no wrong. That’s sort of what our props do for your event.

Once your guests step out of the camera’s view, they’ll each receive a print-out photo that will include a fun design that reflects your event's style. After that, they can instantly share their photos on Facebook and Twitter for the whole world to see using our social media stations.

Now, you’re probably wondering something: How do your photobooths go off without a hitch? Well, we’re glad you asked. Our Booth Butlers are one-of-a-kind and totally dedicated to making sure that your event is better than the Met Gala. Not every event can have BeyoncĂ© in attendance, but with the professionalism and elegance that the Booth Butlers bring, you’ll feel like she could walk through the door at any moment. We're always black tie dressed, no matter the event.

At MDRN, we’re all about keeping your event classy before the guests arrive, during the festivities, and after everyone has gone home to tell their friends about what an amazing time they had. Our service doesn’t end when the lights go out because we continue to strive to make sure that your experience with us is the best thing since Double Stuf Oreos."


They're not your average photo booth. Trust me, I don't think Giant Tiger would pay any old photo booth company to drive from Ottawa to Prince Edward Island to represent them at the Cavendish Beach Music Festival. Or have a company in Toronto that want's to franchise them. Enough said.
I must have at least 50 prints in my room from all of the test lighting I've done...

Vendor Feature | Florist - Rebel Petal

5/26/2015

I first met the amazing Michelle VandenBosch when I was exhibiting at Tie The Knot Wedding Show for the first time. Michelle wasn't actually in it, but had been delivering flowers for someone else at the show. My boyfriend's amazing mom had actually talked to her and had a vase made for my own booth! Such a sweetie! She does amazing, AMAZING work which is why I asked her to be first in my new blog series of amazing vendor features!!

Michelle has always been a florist and worked from her home studio, but THIS month she opened her own floral design studio. I went to check out Rebel Petal in Manotick on it's opening day, and I don't even have words for how perfect it is. Go out of your way to check it out, it's precious and rocker like her. I asked her to write her heart out so here she is:

"I am constantly amazed by all of the information that is targeted to Bride and Grooms. The visual information must be overwhelming. Pinterest is fantastic to gather ideas and images. What most couples do not realize is that most of the stunning photographs on Pinterest are either from Styled shoots or weddings with unlimited budgets. This leads to high expectations when trying to work with in a more realistic wedding.

I have stunned many brides when I tell them that wedding backdrop they are showing me would be $10,000 or that this stunning table centre would be $2000 per table. I love brainstorming with couples to create gorgeous arrangements for their wedding day. Having a honest conversation about budget and knowing their style and desires, gives me a rush as a designer. Focusing on the areas of the wedding that will give the couple the most visual impact is most important.

Spending a little money on certain items will free up more money to give you better show where it is important. Creating a bridal bouquet of your dreams is integral for a wedding. This is going to be in the brides hands in the photograph with your groom forever on your fireplace mantle. Making sure it is perfect is the only way.

Playing with fabric and rentals can also help when on a budget. Lots of drama can be given to a beautiful flower arrangement by placing it high on a pedestal on a table in the centre of the room. Candles are a romantic way of working with a tight budget. Working with our couples to create a wedding experience that is unique to them and takes their breath away is our goal at Rebel Petal."
