Custom Wedding Experience
Alan and Alanna’s Wedding
Fitler Club, Philadelphia, PA • Full-Day Wedding • Custom Live Mosaic Photo Wall Experience • Enchanted Beauty Roaming Mirror Booth • Traditional Photo Booth
THE EVENT BRIEF
In January 2024, Milestone NJ Photo Booth had the privilege of meeting Alan and Alanna at a Bridal Show. The couple—in the midst of a stressful re-planning process—had originally intended to marry in Israel. However, after the tragic events of October 7th, 2023, their plans were upended, requiring them to start from scratch. Determined to create a meaningful and unforgettable celebration, the couple sought something that would honor their Jewish heritage while also allowing absent friends and family to share in their special day.
During our conversation, the bride emphasized her desire for a wedding experience that was “more than your average photo booth.” Inspired by her vision, we introduced her to our Live Mosaic Photo Wall. Upon seeing it in action, she was captivated by the idea of creating a collaborative masterpiece with her guests. To elevate the concept, we suggested adding a thick border to the mosaic, allowing guests to sign and leave personal messages. This innovation transformed the mosaic into a unique and interactive keepsake that would preserve memories for years to come.
Alan and Alanna’s Live Mosaic Memory Board was the first of its kind. To ensure an exceptional experience, we offered two capture options: the Enchanted Beauty Roaming Mirror Booth for cocktail hour and a Traditional DSLR Photo Booth for the remainder of the event. The Traditional DSLR Photo Booth provided high-quality prints in postcard (4×6) and photostrip (2×6) formats, while the Enchanted Beauty Roaming Mirror Booth provided digital photos, boomerangs, and animated GIFs for guests to text directly to themselves. We also collaborated with their photographer to use a wedding-day image for the final mosaic design. By the end of the Bridal Show, the event was booked, and preparations were underway for their May 2024 wedding.
THE EVENT EXPERIENCE
The Live Mosaic Memory Board was an innovative enhancement to an already rare experience. While mosaic photo walls are uncommon at weddings, we took this concept further by introducing our signature twist: a thick outer border for guest signatures. This interactive addition encouraged deeper engagement and transformed the mosaic into a multi-dimensional keepsake.
THE RESULTS
Alan and Alanna’s wedding was a resounding success, exceeding their expectations and leaving a lasting impression on their guests. The bride, thrilled with the experience, spent much of the evening encouraging attendees to participate in the Live Mosaic. She was mesmerized by the creation process and overjoyed with the final product, a one-of-a-kind mosaic composed of their loved ones’ photos and heartfelt signatures.
