Bring “Wow” to Your Tahoe Wedding with Elevated Photo Booth
Yes, weddings are all about the love between two people, but they're also all about getting down and having a good time. To encourage the latter, Jason and Kate Abraham started Elevated Photo Booth. Their booths have a charming vintage feel, blend into the venue, and produce high-end images. Most importantly, they generate laughter and fond memories.

Here are 10 Elevated Photo Booth tips and tricks that'll give your wedding that extra "wow:"
1. The more, the merrier: Invite up to 15 of your friends (both old and new) and family into the booth. The more faces to capture, the more opportunities for deep belly laughs.
2. Embrace the props: Silly props make the photo booth experience. But avoid feather boas! They can get messy.

3. Strategically place the booth: Set up the booth near the main action. This way, it won't be overlooked. Elevated Photo Booth's booths are attractive, so there's no need to keep it out-of-site.

4. Take advantage of commonalities within the guests: See five ladies in red dresses? Bring them together for a group shot. What about five guys wearing pink ties? Tell them to do something unconventional with them, and bam, that's another fun photo. Bonus: encouraging guests to find similarities amongst one another is a great ice-breaker.
5. Use decorations as props: Strike a pose while holding the wedding menu in front of you, or borrow the centerpiece flowers for a quick snap or two. This way, you'll get a unique photo and integrate a personal touch that'll remind you of the beautiful venue.
6. Shake up your pose: Always tilt your head to the left and smile? Try a serious face instead. Diversity is priceless.
7. Jump for joy: If you're in the booth with just a few others, say, "Everyone jump on the count of three!" Action shots are some of the best. Pro-tip: avoid large group jumps; these can often end with knees in places knees shouldn't go, or heels on unappreciative toes.
8. Direct your attention to one person: For medium-sized group shots, tell everyone to lift one person while pretending they weigh as much as an elephant. Or, ask everyone to look like they're fainting while the smoking hot bride and groom kiss.
9. Engage your inner animal: If you're in the booth with upwards of 10 people, stick to expressive faces. Tell everyone to pull their best monkey face, or to stick out their tongues while widening their eyes as much as possible.

10. Act: Instead of posing, tell a story. Pretend your friend's a shark chasing you, or act as though you're on a rollercoaster after having just eaten half (!) the wedding cake. Organized actions create a story, and who doesn't love a good tale?
