We ask A LOT from Brandon and his team on race morning - the logistics of our event are complicated! Brandon always shows up earlier than expected, has the sound system and PA going by 6:30am and helps us to really execute on race day. Their equipment is top-notch, the DJ that helped us out this past year was amazing (forgetting his name, but he killed it). If you have an event big or small these guys are the one's you want.

The backdrop they created was beautiful, the setup looked incredible, and the photo booth ended up being one of the highlights of the night. Our guests had so much fun with it, and we got so many great photos and memories from the evening. I also really appreciated how easy they were to work with -- professional, responsive, creative, and just genuinely nice people. There are so many details that go into planning a milestone birthday, and having vendors you can trust makes such a difference. Shutter Bar was definitely one of those vendors. I would absolutely use them again for another event and highly recommend them!

REVIEWER # 36 What's…read morenot to love about portable photo booths that capture the most AMAZING photos with special friends and loved ones? I don't know about you, but I LOVE photo booth rentals! Boy, they sure do know how to jazz up a partay! And there is no shame in my game when I say that, "I am totally conceited when it comes to taking photos". I recently discovered Moments to Memories (M2M) as they were at Anderson Conn's Vineyards in Napa this past weekend (April 22nd, 2017). As soon as I seen them, I instantly ran to the booth! I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Josh who was working that day. My friends and I definitely wanted to capture our special moments during our lovely Saturday of Wine Tasting. The booth is big enough to comfortably fit about 4-5 people (You can fit more but it would be a tight squeeze). It was 4 of us and we were all able to capture all of our sexiness for the camera. What's great about M2M is that you don't have to worry about props for the photo because they will provide TONS of it! My friends and I were able to use everything from: hats, mask, glasses, picture frames and more! Each photo that you take comes with 2 pictures. The qualities of the photos are great, like seriously! Nice glossy and clear! I would definitely book M2M in the future for any of my private events. They would be perfect for birthdays, weddings, prom and much more fun events! Give them a call and book today!

I used Moments to Memories for my wedding on 4/9/16…read more There isn't much to it for a photobooth. Bring props and take our pictures. Somehow, M2M fell short on both. I can still tell you the props they brought by memory. 2 sad/thoroughly used, dollar store looking boas, 2 hats, 2 sunglasses, a picture frame, cut outs of a top hat, lips, mustache, and a random phrase. The saddest collection I've ever seen. Taking our picture- the whole point of getting an open air booth is so you can take pictures of larger groups. The camera was set up so close that it was a struggle to fit in 5 people.. including having 2 of them crouched down infront of the other 3. I thought perhaps it was because the camera was set to only one depth, nope, they can zoom. No reason to have it set so close. The only reason I gave 3 instead of 2 stars was because the operator girl was nice, and they sent out a thank you card.

Craig allowed me a space to privately change my clothes, he helped me to relax and encouraged me to laugh and smile making the experience fun! The photos were for my work portfolio, business cards, LinkedIn and my website. I was extremely pleased with the photos. They were professional and polished and most importantly authentic! His turnaround was fast. There were so many good photos he took, it was hard to select just three. Craig has a good eye and I will definitely be patronizing Awesome Headshots Photography Studios in the near future and sharing with colleagues. Superb customer Service!

Well at least, I did. And a professional we got! Craig was able to squeeze us in on a Sunday night at 7pm because it fit into our schedule. He was super nice, knew how to get the best pictures and even poured us a local Schubros while we were in the studio. The pictures came out AMAZING (or I should say awesome) and the whole process was completed in a couple days. And I should also mention that the cost was reasonable. For a great photographer that works with your schedule, takes excellent shots, does expert touch up and turns everything around quickly for a great cost: Woohoo! That's as good as it gets!

Our first session was cancelled at 10:30pm the night before due to a power problem at his studios (ok, this was an understandable cancellation issue - but how about you call your client before 10:30pm the night before to discuss this issue?!). We then rescheduled for the following week. The morning of our second appointment, his studio crew decided to take the day off after other appointments (before us) cancelled. I was busy getting the whole family ready for the shoot so could not answer my phone to get the call that they were leaving. Basically, we were stood up in our Sunday bests. Horrible business, lousy responsiveness, last minute cancellations. Business 101 - Don't send your crew home when you have an appointment scheduled. It doesn't matter if the person doesn't answer their phone the morning of the appointment. Assume they are coming, and implement a cancellation policy!!!!

We can't wait to see our video. If anyone needs a great videographer team look no further than Acorn films.

I hired Acorn Films after much prodding from my mom. When I was planning my wedding, I was…read moreconvinced I didn't want a videographer. I mean, who actually likes to see themselves on film? It feels so awkward! But, due to my mom's persistent nagging, I caved and started looking at videographers. That's how I found Acorn Films! As a newer business, they were very reasonably priced and were a total pleasure to work with. At the time that I signed the contract with Acorn Films, they had zero Yelp reviews (and zero reviews anywhere I could find!). So, I kind of went out on a bit of a limb. As the months passed between signing the contract and my wedding, I saw more and more of Shawn & Natalie's work through their Vimeo channel and blog. And I was really pleased with what I saw! You can tell that their editing work is just getting better and better. Fast forward to May, and my wedding day. Shawn & Natalie showed up right on time (if not a little early), set up, worked with the photographers and the DJs, and filmed away. When our photographer wanted to drive out closer to the ocean for a bit of a photoshoot, Natalie even helped drive me and my bridal party over. I barely noticed their presence at the wedding. Now onto the final product: the videos. You know, I hate to say it, but my mom was right all along. Videos are just so much different than photographs. Watching the short film made me feel like I was back at my wedding again. It's just different -- and I'm glad I went with a videographer. I loved my short film, it really captured the emotions of the day. The longer main film is something that I probably won't watch on a regular basis, but man... the short film. Totally worth it! Shawn & Natalie really captured some great angles of the first dance, the ceremony, everything. In many ways, photographs capture the best moments of your wedding. But to me, video captured some of the best memories. Seeing my now-husband recite his vows to me? Priceless! tl;dr -- Shawn & Natalie from Acorn Films are great, wonderful to work with, and I love my video.
