Lookin’ Good \\ Derk’s Works PHOTOBOOTH
Who doesn’t love a good photo booth? At Derk’s Works, we offer a one-of-a-kind PHOTOBOOTHing experience. We love bringing our booth and props to weddings because it puts your guests in the spotlight. We capture their individual personalities and the images embody some of the most iconic moments of the night.
In case you aren’t convinced, here are 5 more reasons to party with us in the booth:
1. We let down our walls.
Our PHOTOBOOTH not only provides entertainment for those in front of the lens, but groups gather around your guests as they do their thing in the spotlight. Because our booth is an open backdrop, it creates more room for interaction and large groups of party people to strike a pose while entertaining the crowd.
2. You get the V.I.P. treatment.
Many booths offer a automatic, stationary camera for guests inside the booth. The Derk’s Works PHOTOBOOTH comes with a real-life photographer. Having someone behind the camera allows us to capture the movement and energy of your guests without limiting them to a restricted angle. Our photographer knows how to engage your guests to be sure your images are dynamic, without sacrificing quality.
3. We customize your props.
Who doesn’t love giant masks of their cat? We bring everything you will need in the PHOTOBOOTH. This means, if you need larger than life sized baby faces of the bride and groom, we will make it happen.
4. Your images come perfected.
Unlike other photo booths, the Derk’s Works PHOTOBOOTH images come cropped and edited. Every image will be tweaked to make sure your guests look their best. All images will be available the week following your wedding.
5. You get unlimited shots and downloads.
Lots of party people? No problem. Your PHOTOBOOTH experience comes with unlimited shots during your time of coverage. Don’t worry about restricting your guests to a time or two in the booth. It’s theirs all night so they can feel free to let loose, as many times as they please. Like we said, the images will be posted the week following the wedding. You can share the gallery and every guest will have access to download their captured memories.
We might be biased, but our PHOTOBOOTH is a pretty fun time. It adds an indispensable element to your big day that your guests won’t soon forget.
George’s 1st Birthday Party
Excited to finally share a selection (though rather long) of our little man’s first birthday party! I thoroughly enjoyed every detail, smile, sprinkle and smash of cake!
Special thanks to all of our family and friends who came and celebrated George’s first birthday. Your love and support during our first year as a family has meant so much!
Cheers to your first year George! We love you more than we thought possible and are privileged to be your parents!
Wedding DIY – The Flowerman
Planning a wedding is something a bride and groom often look forward to. Infusing your personalities into each moment can be a way to create style and tradition as a couple. Sometimes though, the thought of “doing it yourself” can be a bit overwhelming. Balancing personal touches with expert advise can be tricky.
Fortunately, companies like The Flowerman exist.
If you haven’t heard of them, The Flowerman is Columbus’ family-owned “do-it-yourself florist.” They create the ultimate flower experience guided by trained professionals who know their buds.
Once you have a date, venue, and general guest count, a “floral coach” will meet you to talk all things design. Hand-selecting flowers and greenery that perfectly embody the aroma of your wedding, your coach helps make recommendations regarding different varieties and embellishments for arrangements. You, as the bride and groom, have complete design control. Whether formal, causal, whimsical, or traditional, you express your vision and your coach is there to bring it to fruition.
A day or two before your wedding, the fun happens. You and your closest friends become florists for a day (don’t worry, no experience necessary). With all the supplies you need, your coach is there to walk you through construction of your arrangements.
Feel free to bring drinks and treats because this process is a pre-wedding party.
Something else we love about The Flowerman is their determination to serve brides with excellence, regardless of budget. Using only fresh, wedding-grade products, you not only enjoy an enhanced floral experience, but leave knowing you have the absolute best flowers for your absolute best day.
To learn more about The Flowerman, including DIY packages and full-service + pre-order options, visit them here. A bunch of floral professionals are waiting to make your topiary dreams come true.
Special thanks to Erin of The Flowerman for all of her helpful information.
