From weddings and pop-ups to gallery openings and private parties, our instant photography adds an interactive element that people love. Goodbye photo booth, hello polaroid photographer!

Each event is different, and our approach is completely customizable. We tailor every detail, from the number of photographers and photos produced, to the style of display or keepsake album, so your experience fits your space, timeline, and vision.

Consultation: We'll discuss your event, location, and any special requests.

  1. Event Day: We'll arrive 15-30 minutes early to set up and start capturing moments.
    Photos are made with Fujifilm instant cameras, handed to guests, made into an album, or whatever you decide!

  2. During the Event: Depending on the needs discussed at consultation, our instant photographers will capture details, posed portraits, and candid photos of your event. The number of photos we take depends on the nature of your event and the package you choose. On average, you can expect 50-75 photos per hour.

  3. After the Event: You'll receive any remaining prints and your album (if applicable).
