Red Carpet Photo Booth - A+++++
www.redcarpetphotosnaps.com

This was a big hit during our wedding! We wanted to have guests have their photos taken but thought that a photobooth was too common and may change the elegant ambience of the occasion. Then, we found out about Red Carpet Photo Snaps. They make a customized backdrop with the couple's logo and put them up as a backdrop similar to what you see on red carpet events. They bring in this backdrop together with a carpet, softbox, camera, computer and printer. They include a professional photographer that takes photos and a printing specialist that prints the photos taken. They have 3 and 4 hour packages and so we got the 4 hour package for the whole dinner. They took photos and printed them unlimited for 4 hours!!! Everyone was raving about it and they all loved their pictures!

Engagement Photos by Wayne Yuan and Angela Lee - A+

We enjoyed this shoot so much. We did the photos in the meatpacking district at around 5pm. It was the perfect time of the day to shoot photos in the city. Angela Lee + Wayne Yuan = perfect pair to shoot rocking engagement photos .. Hope you guys like it as much as we do .. c',)

Bachelorette Party - Lucky Cheng's and USA Hunk - A+++

DIY

Escort Cards, Escort Card Boards and Table Numbers

I was looking for cooler ways of doing the escort cards and thought about doing a board instead of the usual cards on a table.

To do the cards, I used black cardstock and gold paper I bought from Staples (M by Staples). I designed the artwork by hand and had the groom put it on photoshop so I could print on the gold paper. I bought the 2.5' circle punch from Michael's and punched circles on the gold paper after printing on them. I attached them to the black cardstock I cut using roll-on glue tape.

To make the boards (I made two), I purchased a 2 ft x 4 ft plywood from Home Depot. I also purchased foam/batting and the fabric from Joann's Fabric and covered this plywood with the fabric. I put the foam/batting in between the plywood and the fabric so there's a little dimension to the board. I used a staple gun on the back of the board to secure the fabric to the board. I then bought 1' black ribbons from the dollar store and cut up twelve 2.5 ft of it for each board. I folded 1/3 of the ribbon so I could have pocket for the cards. I ironed the fold and then glued the folded ribbon on the fabric. I then had my brother create a stand for it.

I had the groom design the table no. and printed them on the same gold paper (M by Staples) that the escort cards were printed on. I bought the clear picture frames from Target for $2 each. I decided on not doing something elaborate for the frame because I thought there would be too much focus points on the table and I really wanted the centerpiece to stand out.

Seriously SICK!! Good job!

Royalty Limo - A

We really liked Royalty Limo. Their offices are not great but that's not what we're paying for. They were very nice and they gave us very competitive rates especially since we had to get two limos for our wedding day - one for the ladies and one for the men. Anyway, the drivers were there on time. They were there with us for the whole 6 hours we rented both limos. It was a nice experience altogether.
