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 [...]
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 [...]
Indian Weddings and Event Trends
This past week we Americans were more than ready to get together with family and gobble up a big meal.

We were honored to be asked to capture this [...]
Bay to Breakers photos wrap up!
We love Bay to Breakers and since our studio moved off the race path we hadn’t done a photo booth or photostation like we had in the past so this year we had access to a perfect street spot on Hayes Hill where we set up an impromptu photo booth and enjoyed our Sunday morning. [...]
First Exposures kills it!

Bike to Work Day photo booth at Public Works

Trends: High Concept Photography photo booths
So one of the things we’ve had a great time doing are High Concept Photography photo booths (we now call this our Studio Booth). Although they aren’t always actual photo booths, but more photo ‘experiences’ most people just know the term photobooth so we use that. Anyhow, we’ve produced some of these on our own [...]

Recently, Zenfolio posted a blog entry where they interviewed me about event photography. It was fun talking to the Zenfolio team, whom we’ve developed a close relationship with since we use them for online hosting and sell prints and other photo-products through their service. They are a really solid platform and they have a great [...]

Successful First Exposures photobooth and auction!
The First Exposures program is one we’ve supported for quite some time. I remember first thinking about doing a similar idea through Orange but then found out that it was already being done well, and now I’ve been mentoring with that program for a few years. Last month there was an auction which we had [...]
Love on Wheels and our first Rickshaw photobooth!
Another fun evening with the San Francisco Bike Coalition as we sponsored their Love on Wheels event/fundraiser at the Rickshaw Stop this past Friday evening.

Debuting our new photobooth
We got the chance to use our spankin new photobooth last night at MPINCC’s holiday bash at Teatro ZinZanni. It was a big hit. Who doesn’t love instant gratification? Its reputation is preceding it as we are already pimping it out for upcoming event shoots. Some cool features: it prints either b/w or color, photo [...]
Happy 100th, KCBS!
Last Friday, KCBS celebrated their 100th year right here in San Francisco at the beautiful Palace Hotel. We were there to photograph the attendees as they stepped into our green screen photo station.

More Live Photo Booth samples!
With Holiday Parties around the corner, photo booths are always a lot of fun. We have our regular photo booths that people like where prints come out in strips as well as our super stylized ‘live’ photo booths which are really more photo stations. Either way, we set one up for our friend Eris’ super [...]
