A Night of Black & White Glamour - the 5×7 Upgrade Case Study

A beautiful wedding at the historic Hotel Galvez by Keely Thorne Events magic maker Paige Nassab and her incredible team. You will also have to follow the amazing wedding photographer Shannon Skloss to see all the insane details of this wedding that will be unloading soon.

What made the room feel right for a black & white setup? lighting, dress code, mood.

Last night we brought the Black & White Portrait Booth to Hotel Galvez and it was everything! dramatic, editorial, and impossible to look away from.

The Bride opted for the upgraded 5×7 Prints in a white matte ready to be put in a 8×10 frame.

The 5x7 print in an 8x10 matted frame is a completely different experience from our standard size. Handing someone this finished piece felt less like giving out a party favor and more like presenting them with a genuine work of art. "WOW" was the word we heard most often that night. More than one person told us they'd never seen anything like it at an event. That reaction is the whole point of the upgrade: guests don't just get a keepsake, they get something that makes them feel genuinely special, ready to take home and frame as-is.

The setup itself screamed luxury — clean, polished, and designed to feel like a real photo studio rather than a rental booth. It set the tone before guests even stepped in front of the camera, and that first impression carried through to the final print in hand. View the entire gallery here.

I don’t know why but the black drop is becoming one of my favorites.
