The Cutest Photo Booth Idea to Steal

Of all the things we've seen today, nothing brought a smile to our face like this photo booth made from a spare sheet of plywood with cutouts, some wallpaper, ornate/vintage picture frames and some photos. The photo booth facade was designed by Sasha Souza for a wedding, but the appearance of such a wonderful offering would be an awesome addition to any festive affair from our perspective...

All you need to make your own version of Sasha's photo booth is wood from the local lumber yard, wallpaper, frames, some tools, and your friends and family. Sha-la-la-la~


As noted over at wedding blog, Kiss the Groom, where we first spied this series of photos, the bride-to-be customized the photo booth with pictures of her own family from throughout her family's history, giving the booth an extra layer of appeal. What a wonderful idea for a birthday, wedding, quinceanera, house warming, or the upcoming holidays, as the setup seems like it would loosen up inhibitions for even the most photo-shy individual (aka: us). We're storing this idea away as a future DIY project...perhaps for an Apartment Therapy LA gathering? Hmmmm~

Interesting. It looks like something out of Harry Potter.

Pretty awesome!

We hired a killer caricature artist for our wedding. Guests loved it!

Thank you so much for featuring our photo wall on Apartment Therapy, Los Angeles. It was great fun to work with the bride to come up with an idea that incorporated both her past and her friends...again, thanks for the feature.
