Photography of Lauren and Rudy’s wedding at Hackberry Creek Country Club

Lauren and Rudy had both their wedding and reception at Hackberry Creek Country Club. I loved taking photos of Lauren and Rudy at this pretty facility.

As you can see in the video above, the facility has pretty areas both inside and outside to get awesome photos.

The afternoon sun at Hackberry Creek Country Club was perfect for getting stunning wedding images.

Wedding photography at Hackberry Creek Country Club turned out great for Lauren and Rudy.

Great changes to our photobooth and new, lower price!

We took delivery of a custom cabinet to hold the brains of our photobooth and we got a faster printer that allows your guests to go through the line even faster. We also lowered our photobooth rental prices.

The photo booth brains are new contained in a beautiful cherry wood cabinet. You can see what it looks like in the two photos here. It is beautiful!

Even though we invested in these improvements, we’ve lowered our prices! We are the lowest photobooth company in DFW and we’re local. Many of the photobooth companies you see advertised online are national companies and don’t even have anyone local that you can talk to. You can talk to us or even set up a time to drop by and test drive our photobooth!

Our new prices for our photobooth are:

  • 3-hour photo booth package  $450
  • 4-hour photo booth package  $500
  • 5-hour photo booth package  $550

Our rental fees allows you unlimited 4×6 prints during your event. However, if you want side-by-side identical strips, our printer will automatically cut them and output a pair of 2×6 prints!

You can see our photobooth at right from the inside. The top is our studio quality lighting and the bottom square is the live preview screen so you can make sure you look good before starting the process!

Give us a call today to book our affordable booth at your next event.

Central Softball Team’s Sports Banners

I’m finishing up on the Central High School Softball team banners today so I can get them sent off to be printed so they can be hanging at Charger Field in time for the start of District play.

 

I love to get creative with the sports banners and create a background unique to the school. Since Central’s nickname is the Chargers, some lightening in the banner background was needed. The large team name down one side of the banner and the player’s name across the top make these sports banners something the team can be proud of.

 

I’ve been designing these vinyl banners for local high school teams for several years. I love the way they look. In fact, I’ve decided that all of Alliance Studio’s sports photos of players will all be printed on custom backgrounds similar to the banners. It takes a little extra work, but we want to give our clients something they can’t get anywhere else.

 

We also started offering the 2 foot by 4 foot sports banners as an item that parents can order with youth league photos. These sports banners would look great hanging in any parent’s game room.

Getting great photos at night

Getting great photos at night.

I had a strange request from a prospective client recently. They wanted to see samples of photos that I have taken at night. They wanted to know if I could get great photos at night.

 

This is a strange request to a photographer who has earned his CPP from the Professional Photographers of America.  To earn your certification of a professional photographer, you have to pass an extensive written test and a review your images by their experts. If you are talking to a CPP, rest assured that you are talking to somebody who knows photography and knows how to get good photos in any situation.

 

While this does seem like a strange request to me, I do understand it. There are too many people out there who call themselves photographers who don’t know anything about photography. If their smart camera can’t take a great photo in a certain situation, they are at a loss on how to get the photo.

 

These photographers are only as good as the automatic mode in their camera.

 

I don’t know of any certified professional photographers who shoot with their camera in automatic mode. And you can be sure we are always getting great photos at night.

 

The photo above is one I showed the client. It was taken at a recent wedding in between the ceremony and the reception downtown Fort Worth. There was some time to kill so we took some photos downtown at night.

 

The key to getting the photos at night is to drag the shutter to get a good exposure of the background, while using your flash for fill on the bride and groom. The flash for fill is needed because the light on the building is much brighter than the light in the street, making the scene back lite.
