Halloween: Fotio Costume Report

Halloween marks the time of year for change. The trees are changing and the leaves are falling. The warm air moves out and the cooler air moves in. We change our clocks back and gain an hour. Less daylight and more darkness. The new year is approaching. People of all ages love Halloween. For one night a year we can transform into our perfect heart's desire. Everyone gets to choose an alter ego or a super hero. We love the mystery and magic of the season. All year around we have the honor or dressing up people all the time. Sometimes people feel more comfortable wearing props so they don't have to pose as themselves on a regular Saturday. Fotio creates that magic and mystery we all crave. We have dug deep into the Fotio archive to share some our favorite Halloween inspired photo booth photos.

History in the making! Gay Marriage is here to stay, FINALLY!

Feeling the LOVE from all the guests! 

Feeling the LOVE from all the guests! 

This year we as a nation celebrate Gay Marriage. 2015 was a very special year for so many people in the United States. After the ruling, Fotio photo booth has had the honor of celebrating some of these first official gay marriage weddings here in Chicago. Illinois became the 16th state to legalize Same-Sex Marriage. Governor Patt Quinn signed the law November 20th, 2013 took effect on June 1, 2014. State by state courts were legalizing marriage. Finally some states were understanding that marriage is about love and commitment, not gender. On June 26th 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court ruling of same-sex marriage requires all states to issue marriage licenses to all same-sex couples and to recognizes gay marriages. To be free to legally start a marriage with the one you love. To think about all the people that were waiting to make it official, we celebrate them! Below we have shared some of our same-sex marriages that we have so honorably been a part of. Love is the number one ingredient to marriage.

Since this was our first time bringing a Fotio Photo Booth to the Adler Planetarium we made an appointment and met with Michelle Eastham from Food for Thought Catering to give us a tour of the venue. The reception for this wedding was taking place in Cafe Galileo's so we needed to figure out a Fotio backdrop (we can't photograph against windows because of the glare!). Luckily we were working with Chicago Wedding Planner Elisa Juster from The Simply Elegant Group along with Chicago event decor company Atmosphere Events Group (AEG) to help us figure this out!  Victoria Claus from AEG supplied some fabric/tapestry backdrop options for us to test out with Fotio. We ended up using an ornate silver/gold pattern which fit in thematically with the sleek tented wedding feel.

Chicago's Best Vintage Style Loft Wedding Venues

There are so many amazing loft venues in Chicago we thought we should include a write up of some the favorites we have worked at in the past few weeks. On the South-side we absolutely love the Bridgeport Art Center Skyline Loft. The beautiful exposed brick and amazing views of the city really make this an engaging and romantic wedding venue for your special day. Here are a few pictures of a vintage inspired Chicago wedding we covered with Carlene Smith of Naturally Yours Events, Toast and Jam DJs, Rent Vintage Chicago, and Venue Logic. The Bridgeport Art Center is perfect for a large Chicago wedding. Plus they have an outdoor sculpture garden on the first floor if you want an outside element for your wedding ceremony or cocktail hour.

We also love the Lacuna Artist Lofts in Chicago's Pilsen District. The Reverie gallery makes for an artistic and restoration hardware type of non-traditional Chicago wedding venue. Your guests will love exploring the cool art and unique space all around. They also have a rooftop deck perfect for your outdoor wedding ceremony/cocktail hour. Lacuna Artist Lofts is also great for a very large Chicago wedding.

Vintage Open Air Photo Booth Rental for Chicago Corporate Events and Conventions

Chicago is such an iconic city perfectly situated between America's coasts which makes it an ideal location for conventions, trade shows, and corporate meetings. This past year we have had all kinds of new and interesting businesses looking to use a Fotio photo booth to capture and impress event attendees at various events around Chicago. Most recently NeoCon was in town (the largest architecture and design expo which takes place at Merchandise Mart). We worked with Humanscale for their NeoCon after party at Moe's Cantina in River North. They wanted an open air photo booth which could capture guests posing on their elegantly designed Ballo stools. They also wanted the photos to be branded so we included a watermark on the online gallery so guests would remember who sponsored the fun photo booth!

We also had the opportunity to work with Dell & Intel for the HIMMS15 conference at McCormick Place.

We had a fun time meeting the staff and patrons at this small batch distillery tucked away in the Industrial District of Chicago on 2010 W. Fulton St. They have a beautiful interior tasting room perfect for your small Chicago corporate or personal event. We got to meet the Father-daughter team who opened the distillery - Charlie and Jenny Solberg. Check out all the fun photo booth pictures we took below!

Navy Pier Grand Ballroom Photo Booth for Chicago Children's Museum Gala

Our old time looking photo booth fit in perfectly for this vintage themed election night event at the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom. This was a Charity Gala benefiting the amazing Chicago Children's Museum. We had the pleasure of working with experiential event marketing agency - agencyEA. They helped us create a custom vinyl step and repeat backdrop to use for the photos. The Fotio booth was open for cocktail hour as guests entered the grand ballroom event space and then re-opened after dinner for post event dancing and photo booth fun!
