We have seen what a great and fun hit the photobooths have been at weddings, now look at the flip photobooths! Your guests have 6-7 seconds to move about in front of the camera and when they are finished they get a wonderful flip photobook. You can customize the cover with your names and wedding date! You can even have a copy of each guests' time in the booth for you to look at on your honeymoon! :-)

Stop-motion Save the Date
I saw this come across Style Me Pretty's facebook page and thought these were so unique. What's even more amazing is that Mallory Berry is right here in Fayetteville, Arkansas! While these look like a video production, you'll be surprised to find out how she does this.
Mallory states on her website that each video is comprised solely of hundreds of still photographs taken in succession-NOT video clips. What a unique way to announce your engagement, highlight your wedding or other monumental event in your life!

Interview with Beaty Photography
My long time friends at Beaty Photography who are a husband and wife photography team out of Fort Smith, AR, and I finally got around to a Q&A regarding Wedding Photograhpy.
A Party to Perfection:
What are the largest trends you are seeing in wedding photography?
Beaty Photography:
Bride and Groom First Look
Couples more and more are wanting to see each other before the wedding starts. *Note from A Party to Perfection, this is known as the "bridal presentation"* This is mainly for two reasons: 1) Calm down their nerves a little and 2) It allows for more pictures to be taken before the ceremony, thus making it a better and quicker transition to the reception.
A Photojournalistic approach
This is what we are all about! Capturing the real moments of their wedding day as they happen. Love at its purest.
Day After Sessions
We call ours an "Afterknot Session". The couple can have a session the day after their wedding or after they get back from their honeymoon. The ycan get all dressed up in their wedding day attire and have an awesome session at locations that were unattainable on their wedding day. They are a blast t osay the least!
A Party to Pefection asks: What are some of your favorite shots?
Beaty Photography:
1) Capturing Love's real moments
2)Details, Details, Details
3)Anything Awesome!
A Party to Perfection asks the Beaty's: What should bride's make sure they ask their photographer?
Beaty Photography:
1) Why are you a wedding photographer? Find out if there is a passion behind what they are doing.
2)Do you know how to have fun or what do you do for fun? If they sound fun, then your day will be less stressful.
3) Do they have a business license? Sounds funny to ask, but they will be less likely to skip out on your if they have one.
4) Do you have a second shooter? Are they asking a buddy or another professional to shoot with them? With two photographers, no details will be missed.
5) Do you use professional equipment? Equipment doesn't make the photographer, but there really is a big difference between models and their capabilities.
6) Do you have backup equipment in case something goes wrong? This is a must for any photographer.
7)How do you backup the images after a wedding? This day only happens once so make sure they will properly back up all of your images.
8) Can we contact a few of your past brides? Then ask the brides: "What do you remember about your wedding photographer?" This will reassure you that you've found your perfect photographer.
I want to thank Beaty Photography for taking time to answer these questions and for sending me some of their photos! Make sure to check out their website and blog at www.beatyphotography.com. With this information, the bride and groom will know that they have hired a fun, up to date and professional photographer to cover one of the most important days in their lives!

It's not just about Location, Location, Location!
We want to make sure that the event we have planned for so many months and spent countless nights thinking about is memorable to our guests, but do not forget to capture the memories for yourself! While we all want to incorporate "the" current trends into our weddings, birthday celebrations, corporate events, etc., you need to also remember that photography isn't excluded from trends. I married my husband six years ago and photography wasn't "trendy" and now, while I cherish my wedding photos, they're so standard, traditional and well, boring! These are some top trends to consider when wanting to capture your wedding day and other events. These tips will definitely make sure that your guests and YOU will never forget your day!
9 Hot Wedding Photo Trends:
1. Become the Center of Attention
Iead of flowers, fill photo cubes with different shots from your dating history or world travels and then use them as table centerpieces. It's a great conversation-starter and a nice way for guests to learn more about the early stages of your relationship. And unlike fresh blooms, you can decorate your home with these afterward.
2. Be the Favors
Have your photo imprinted on cookies and leave one at each place setting. Opt for a black-and-white, vintage-looking image so it doesn't come out cheesy. Wrap the cookie in wax paper and tie with a ribbon. Then let guests eat their hearts out -- and your faces off!
3. Head to the City
Engagement cityscape shoots are popular because of the iconic quality of posing by recognizable landmarks. No skyline? Shooting against an urban brick wall can convey the same message. Use your favorite image in your save-the-dates or, for instant reception decor, blow up one of the pictures, mat it, and set it on an easel near the escort cards. Display other shots in your table cards.
Try some casual shots, like the bride sitting on a staircase right after the ceremony, breathing a sigh of relief, with champagne at her feet. Or consider finding an "unofficial" setting. If your reception is at a country club, take pics on the golf course. Ask your photographer to get candids of your group making their way there. It's those between-the-moments photos that always turn out best.
5. Go Behind the Curtain
Rent a photo booth and a technician to troubleshoot. Have guests tape wacky shots next to their messages in the guest book. Or create a DIY photo studio in a section of the reception room. Hang a nine-foot-wide seamless paper for a backdrop and bring a printer so guests can take photos home.
6. Let it Slide
Run a slideshow of images from the ceremony and cocktail hour from your photographer's laptop and project them on a screen during dinner. Guests will love looking at what they just experienced, and they'll have plenty to talk about at the tables.
Instead of mounting a few photos on a wall in traditional frames, display a bunch in a single digital frame. Upload multiple images from a memory card or your computer and watch a slideshow of your day. You can even add music. It makes a great gift too.
8. Book 'Em
Skip the traditional album (the one with thick-as-cardboard, single-photo pages) in favor of high-quality coffee table books, like AsukaBooks. The images are printed on paper, and the layout is more like what you'd see in a magazine. Opt for a leather-bound or Lucite-covered book for a classic look that's less stuffy than a traditional album.
9. Learn to Preserve
Enlarging some final prints on museum-quality, fiber-based, silver paper will definitely be worth the purchase down the road when your precious memories are still intact. "A photograph on this paper could last for several hundred years," says Jen Kroll, a photographer in Grand Rapids, Michigan. When archiving your photos and negatives, choose acid-free boxes, negative-sleeves, and binders. They're pricey, but the absence of acid prevents your photos from yellowing or deteriorating.
