We got to work this event that Key Events put on for Visit Denmark and SAS Airlines and you can see our photography team at work shooting Polaroids and such in this video.

Iron Man photo booth and movie themed photo booths
Summer movies will be upon soon and we’ve already started having some fun photo booths starting with this Iron Man 3 premiere party. This Iron Man photo booth was interactive with a real live Iron Man, who as you can see here, wasn’t using his full powers… However, we predict one of the popular [...]

Time Lapse Photo Booths
Time lapse and photo booths can go quite well together. We do regular time lapses (as shown above, for the 2011 ISES-NCC Gala at the Bently Reserve) as well as regular photo booths of all sorts, so setting up a time lapse photo booth is a fun merge of the two. We’ve done this quite [...]
Event entertainment trend: Pinball machines
Pinball machines are popping up all over. Is this a trend or something old becoming cool again? We decided to investigate mostly because our company has a couple big pinball fans in our midst and we hope that it’s both a trend and becoming cool again. We talked to Luiza Flodr of Video Amusement, which [...]

Creative tools: the Polaroid Close Up Stand Model 7500
As you probably know if you’ve followed our agency or this blog, we love instant photography and have been happy to promote it to our clients as well often shooting vintage Polaroid cameras with Impossible Project film.

Variety Children’s Comedy Benefit
Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to blog about fun events that we get to cover. One of those was the Variety Children’s Comedy Benefit that headlined Zach Galifianakis. It happened during the always fun SF Sketchfest, and was help at The Punchline’s in support of Variety’s Therapeutic Scholarship Program. The program proving scholarships to deserving disabled [...]
ISES-NCC Education program: The Psychology of Events by Kevin White
Photographing events gives us a pretty broad exposure into the world of how events are run and how people respond to them. However, on Tuesday March 19th, Kevin White, CSEP, and Chief Strategist at XPL presented on the psychology of events. This was an interesting topic since it went much deeper into how to make events [...]
Orange does the Anchor Brewery Tour
Most beer lovers recognize Anchor Steam as the quintessential and/or original S.F. beer brand. But not everyone knows they can book a a tour (up to two months advance notice often required) to see the brewery and learn how their world-class beer is made. Anchor has also been one of my favorite clients over the past few [...]
The new Speakeasy Tap Room!
You may have heard that Speakeasy has a new taproom designed by Kelly Malone and we finally checked it out during a fundraiser for her. The place is gorgeous and we set up a photobooth for the benefit too and because of the design it was a cinch to make it look amazing since the [...]
2013 MPINCC Annual Conference and Expo
What’s the best part about event and hospitality conventions? Going home with all the freebies? Well, aside from that, it’s a chance to get great personal interaction and insight from the kinds of companies that you cross paths with every day. It also provides a rare opportunity, as so much is done virtually these days, [...]
San Francisco Beer Week is almost over :(
In case you hadn’t noticed that the city might be a bit more tipsy than usual, that’s because it’s San Francisco Beer Week! We covered the Opening Night gala on Friday which has grown tremendously over the years and during the week there are a ridiculous number of events going on. There’s probably a lot [...]
7th San Francisco Green Business Awards Reception
We were super excited to attend and shoot this event since we were getting our new plaque for our renewal as a San Francisco Green Business. We’re very proud to have been the first photography studio to earn this designation, which is one of the most stringent ones around, since being green has been a [...]
San Francisco Beer Week Opening Celebration #sfbeerweek
If you aren’t already at the DIPA Fest then you might be remembering all the great beers from last night’s opening celebration for San Francisco Beer Week! Like many, we first had to grab a taste of Pliny the Younger. Always a hugely popular brew, I felt kind of sorry for the Russian River folks [...]
Associate happy hour and photo booth fun!
It’s Friday! It’s San Francisco Beer Week! In honor of that earlier this week we hosted some of our Associate Photographers at the studio for a photo booth and happy hour gathering. As we’re evolving our program, we brought together some folks to chat about the changes that are happening with the program and some [...]
Orange in Tahoe!
The team at Orange knows how to work hard but we also know how to have a good time! After a super busy and successful holiday season, we took a trip out to Tahoe to catch up with each other and get some fresh air. Naturally, there were cameras in every hand along with beers, [...]
Review: Instant The Story of Polaroid
Ever since Polaroid announced that it was done with instant photography and the Impossible Project started up, I’ve been obsessed with instant photography. I had some of the last packs of Polaroid film and still have one pack in the fridge that, most likely, I should use pretty soon. Anyhow, when I heard about Instant: [...]
Let’s go #49ers!
Colin Kaepernick has got all the hype right now and we recall photographing him the first time and how chill and down to earth he was. In October of 2011 at the 49ers facility in Santa Clara, I spoke with him about what it felt like to be in the NFL and a 49er. He was [...]
Did you make it to 3rd Base?
Last night we had a blast at The Bold Italic‘s 2nd microhood event here in the Dogpatch, 3rd Base. If you stopped by the Dodocase space, then you probably hopped into our photobooth and tried some samples of delicious Almanac Beers, or maybe some Spicy Vines Spiced Wine? Of course there was the addictive Bacon [...]
Review: Life is a Gift: The Zen of Bennett
Most people know of Tony Bennett as the amazing musician, but he’s also a painter and does watercolors. I had just come from checking out a watercolor show of a high school friend, Iain Stewart, when I decided to crack open this book and start on it while visiting my family in Alabama. Right off the [...]
Photo booths to fashion…
We had the honor of shooting the Sno-ball party, one of the many joint birthday parties we’ve shot over the years (remember April Mistakes?!) and it was quite a blast. People dressed up in many ways, and we’re honored that Betabrand has decided to use a few shots on their website (above). They’ve got some [...]
