Catch Photo Booths is joining the Team Shannon Cause

Join us September 24th at Jensen Park in Syracuse as we help with Team Shannon fund raising effort. There will be a 5K, pancake breakfast, silent auction, kids corner and of course the most awesome photo booth in the world. All of the proceeds we raise from the photo booth will go to Shannon and her family. I can't imagine what it would be like to experience what they have been through the last few years. Please join us at this event.

Here is a little background about Shannon and her battle with leukemia.
At the age of eight, Shannon Johnson received the heartbreaking diagnosis of leukemia. Following many months of cancer treatments and extended hospital stays, Shannon went into remission. The good news was short lived however when just two years later she relapsed. This time Shannon would need chemo, total body radiation, and a bone marrow transplant. She is once again in remission! The hearta...che, stress and financial obligations have been a tremendous burden to her family. A year later, Shannon is still happily in remission but will need continued medical care for years to come. Because of this, family and friends of Shannon have come together to hold a fundraising event. This fundraiser will include a 5K race, live and silent auctions, a pancake breakfast, a kid’s corner and more! 

I will post more information as the event gets closer. Here is her Facebook page:  http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Team-Shannon/158698660873077?sk=wall

Have you ever heard of Mendon Utah?

Its a little place West of Logan in Cache County. It has one major road, a few churches and a few hundred people that can totally get crazy in a photo booth. We went to Mendon for Lewis & Jessi's wedding party. Jessi was the winner of our inaugural Facebook contest.

The scenery was great and the action at the photo booth was non-stop. Our photo booth time stamps every image taken in the booth. There was not a single minute in a three hour span that there wasn't pictures being taken. Now that's pretty impressive.

Here are some of the memories we caught:

 The photo booth knows no age boundaries

 Its amazing what a good wig can do.

 Not quite sure how to caption this one

 Now thats alot of tongue for one picture.

A Photo Booth.... really?

We have heard this phrase a lot the past several weeks as we have told family and friends we are now in the photo booth rental business. The last few years photo booth rentals at weddings and other events have become increasingly popular. We have attended weddings in Utah that had photo booths and it added a nice touch to the receptions, but it didn't really leave a lasting impression.

We traveled to Northern California to attend the wedding of my cousin Ivy. It was a beautiful wedding that took place in amazing scenery. There was great food and drink, a live band and many other special things. But one simple thing brought an amazing amount of energy to the wedding. It was a photo booth.

Now this wasn't your average homemade; glorified shower curtain with a tripod photo booth. This was a real photo booth, equipped with all the bells and whistles. But it wasn't just the photo booth that made it special. It came with a prop box full of crazy hats and wigs. The creativity of the prop box mixed with the photo booth energized the party.

We wanted to "catch" the energy from that wedding in Northern California and bring it back to Utah.  So we built a photo booth rental company focused on that creative energy. Our photo booth takes pictures, but it also takes video and uploads pictures directly to Facebook. We also decided to always include the prop box at no extra charge.

Please follow this blog as we share experiences as we help people "catch" their memories.
