Vintage Photography sells Enclosed Photo Booth!

Three years ago, Chad and I embarked on a major adventure purchasing the first of two photo booths and created our small Edmonton business with portrait photography services.  It is bitter sweet for us to announce that we have sold our enclosed photo booth to Target Photography as of August 2, 2016.

We are both excited and sad to announce this change in our business.  When we decided to purchase the photo booth, we wanted it to be an add on benefit to our photography business.  Little did we know that it would take off so quickly to become the core of our business for the last three years.  With over 100 events under our belt, we loved providing Edmontonians with a photo booth experience like no other in the city!  We paid special care to every detail from the booth we purchased to the props, backdrops, displays and customer service we provided our clients.  It was important to us to always go above and beyond what our clients and their guests expected out of  a photo booth.

So why sell, you ask?  The simple answer is that we have become too busy to do it all.  In our minds, we thought the booth would be an add on to our photography business, we never thought it would become as popular as it did.  Unfortunately, it took us away from our true passion of photographing people.  When we started our Pin-Up and Film Noir photography this year, we realized we could no longer do everything with the time we had.  Chad and I both come from a hospitality background where providing an exceptional customer experience is key.  When we began to feel stretched, we worried that we would start to make mistakes or worse, not provide the level of service that has been ingrained in both us.  When we sat down to review our business goals in May, we felt that it was time to let something go.  Sadly, our enclosed photo booth consumed the most of our time and we made the difficult decision to post it for sale.

So what's next?  We are happy and excited to support Target Photography as they take over our enclosed photo booth business.  They have trained with us for several events and they are receiving all of our equipment, props, backdrops and displays.  Lawrence, his wife and son will begin taking over our clients this week.  The most amazing part of this sale is that they are a carbon copy of Chad and I.  They too believe in exceptional customer service, exceptional product delivery and providing a whole lot of fun to the photo booth experience.  They are offering everything we have to offer with one simple change....they did not keep our name.  They will operate under Target Photography.

We are gone but not forgotten!  We have retained our hashtag photo booth so that we can offer our clients with a portable photo booth option to add onto any event we are also photographing.  We felt it was important to keep this booth for that purpose alone.

To our clients, Chad and I want to say a huge THANK YOU to each and everyone of you.  We've attended your weddings, birthdays, graduations and Christmas parties and have felt part of the evening.  We've shed tears at your weddings, laughed with your guests, outfitted everyone with amazing characters and shared some of the most treasured memories we have had throughout the last three years in business.  We have met so many amazing people and have been blessed to be a part of your special day!  Thank you for selecting us as your photo booth.  We can assure everyone that Lawrence and his team at Target Photography will be just as passionate about providing an amazing booth experience as we have been!  You may reach him at target@telus.net or 780.951.9791.   Please support him and his team as he takes of this new venture!

As a tribute to our time in the photo booth world, we have kept every single photograph we did of ourselves at each event to ensure the booth was ready to go.  Here are just a few of our favorites:

Once again, thank you to everyone for making our job easy and fun!  Please support Target Photography and book your next photo booth with them!
