A few years ago, the digital world took over the photography industry. In the meantime and in-between time, Polaroid was faced with low sales and finally decided to call it quits in 2008. The world was saddened in an instant.
However, after popular demand, they are back now back in a flash. In 2010 Polaroid came back with their new product, the 300, and that means Weddings have potential for some new fun. As a DJ, I see a lot of things and this activity was fun had by all.
Here is a novel idea of how to create your own Polaroid Photo Booth for your wedding and let your guests have a good time doing so.
How about a “Smores Bar” with an open flame for your wedding?
ROAST YOUR OWN SMORE INSIDE AT YOUR WEDDING!
Bottom line: This is a sweet idea.
Want that campground feel at your wedding, without the mess?
here is a really cool idea I saw recently at a wedding out in the Saratoga region. Being a wedding DJ, we see some really cool stuff sometimes. This is the first time that I saw this nifty and fun idea for dessert.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SMORES BAR
1) GET BASKETS. Fill them with Marshmallows, Hershey bars, Graham Crackers, Graham Cracker bits for dipping, and even Reeses Peanut butter Cups.
2) ADD SKEWERS. Find the same kind of skewers that people use for shish kabobs at your local grocery store. Put them in a nice glass, or container that compliments your theme.
3) PROVIDE FLAME STATION. Do not build a campfire. What these crafty people did was got a long basket, filled it with stones and added a three open-flame “dish warmers” that caterers often use to put underneath serving dishes.
ENJOY THESE PICTURES & ENJOY YOUR SMORES BAR!

CUSTOM GEEKY RING LINKS:
If interested in going “geek” for your wedding, here are a few places you can look at for custom rings for your special day.
The traditional wedding photo is fine, but everyone has these. Why not jazz up your photo album with something that means something to you?
PLANNING A “KEEPER” WEDDING PHOTO THAT IS SPECIAL TO YOU
Here is something to think about, when it comes to customizing your wedding day, specifically when looking at the photos being taken.
The picture to the left is a picture of a typical wedding. This one, in particular, was shot in the new courtyard at the Terrace banquet hall at The Water’s Edge Lighthouse in Scotia, NY, which is one of my most favorite halls to DJ for.
The setting is nice with green in the back and the blue sky. However, as nice this photo is, there isn’t anything overly special about it. This is okay because there doesn’t have to be. It is a nice picture of the ceremony – a time when things are supposed to be more serious.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FUN PICTURES?
With a little bit of planning, you can get that fun, special picture that stands out – the one people will really talk about that means something to you.
All this bride asked all of her bridal party to wear a garter with The Pittsburgh Steelers logo on it. Though you can’t see it that well, the black and yellow is a dead give-away. She knew she would have them flash the photographer and it would really make for an interesting moment. That it did.
While your wedding photographer will do great work, there was no way this shot could have happened without a little planning. This shot is a riot and one she will cherish for years to come!
Creating that “keeper” photo can be done with a little prep work.
Having a young kid be the Ring Bearer is a great idea. It makes for cute pictures and can totally help lend to the moment. After a some research, some sources say the tradition of a young person carrying the ring evolved from Ancient Egypt, where it was customary for treasured jewels to be carried on fancy pillows during wedding ceremonies.
Others historians claim the tradition came about during medieval times, when Northern Europeans began to present the bride with her wedding ring on the tip of a sword. Personally, we think this sounds a bit terrifying, and we’re glad this aspect of the custom has disappeared.
