Owens Corning Employee Service Awards

Thursday night, we had the privilege of capturing moments and making memories for the Owens Corning employees at their headquarters here in Toledo. This annual event honors the employees who make Owens Corning a Fortune 500 company and an important part of Toledo.

We started the evening with their Official Service Awards Portrait with the Pink Panther, Owens Corning’s mascot using our Portrait Printing Booth. This is more like a mobile portrait studio than a photo booth. We have a photographer take the photos for a more professional feel. For this event, the events team at Owens Corning set up a background using their Pink Panther mascot. This life-sized bobblehead adorns their halls and reminds them of the company’s history.

The attendees loved receiving a 5×7 print to take home as a momento of their career milestone.

While my team was positioned in the entrance area for the employees official photos with the Pink Panther, I was busy roaming with my Paparazzi Event Photography.

From table shots to candids, I was there documenting the evening. The best part of this style of event photography is that the guests don’t have to wait to get their photos from the company. My Paparazzi Event Photography works with AI Facial Recognition and sends all of their images in their own personal gallery right to their phones. The guests can either input their phone number, email address, or WhatsApp number in the sharing station and only have to do that one time. The software then recognizes their face and sends any photo that they are in to them, even if they are just in the background! It’s crazy and cool at the same time.

Of course, no event is complete without a fun photo booth! And our Rosie the Robot AI Photo Booth kept the guests entertained during the dinner and social hour. Not only did Rosie take “normal” photos of the groups of guests, but she also did lots of fun AI face swap photos turning the guests into Superheros, Pirates, Grafitti Art, Business Portraits, and the evening’s most popular choice, Rock Stars.

Needless to say, Rosie was a HUGE hit with the guest of the event and definitely was a head turning and drew a crowd all night long. Once the guests realized how fun the photos she create were, Rosie had a line the whole night. Some guests even wanted their photo taken with Rosie.

Needless to say, we had a blast capturing and creating the memories for the guests at this year’s Owens Corning Service Awards dinner, and I’m pretty sure they did too. As a corporate event specialist, it makes me feel like a Rock Star!

Brad and Katie’s Wedding Photo Booth

Brad and Katie’s Green Screen Wedding Photo Booth

Brad and Katie were married on Saturday and had their Epic wedding reception at Graystone Banquet Hall in Toledo. And what a party it was! Our Original Green Screen Photo Booth was slammed all night long! We are pretty sure that every single person in attendance made it into the booth at least once!

Before their wedding day, Brad and Katie came into the studio to pick their background choices for their guests to use at the reception. We love it when our couples get personal. Brad and Katie picked a photo from their engagement session to use as a background choice and it was pretty popular. They are a house divided so they also chose a background that represented their love for the Ohio State Buckeyes and University of Xichigan Wolverines rivalry. Other backgrounds they chose was the Toledo Loves Love mural, a tie dye rainbow, a beach scene to represent their honeymoon, and a nod to Tiffany’s with their last name on the background. Check out some of these images from their wedding photo booth.

And it’s always fun seeing my past couples out and about. Katie was in Bianca and Jay’s wedding a few years ago, so it was awesome to see that Katie and Brad had Bianca in theirs.

Congratulations Brad and Katie! It was my pleasure to be your Wedding Photographer and I hope all your guests enjoyed my Original Green Screen Photo Booth! You’ll have to let us know how you liked the scrapbook your guests made at the reception! It looked like they had a blast creating it!
