lindsay museum faces of wildlife gala
Both of the dudes were born and raised in the East Bay, and we grew up going to see the incredible animals at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek. We even rescued an injured bird in the 4th grade and the museum nursed it back to health.
So when we had the chance to run our booth at their annual charity gala at the Roundhill Country Club in Alamo, we jumped at the chance! It was an incredibly fun night with an exciting live auction, photo ops with the wildlife, movers and shakers from all over the SF Bay Area, and of course, the best open air photo booth rental money can buy!
los gatos high school annual benefit auction
The Los Gatos High School NMF is a non-profit group that raises money to improve the experience of all the kids at Los Gatos High School in San Francisco's South Bay.
This time, for their 13th annual benefit auction, they stepped up the game and brought in our open air photo booth to liven up the party and loosen up people's wallets before the big auction. They came, they laughed, they took awesome photos, and then they paid up...for the kids. Everyone wins!
jamba juice at the CCSA conference
When Jamba Juice wanted to find a way to stand out at the CCSA Conference at the San Jose Convention Center to promote their Jamba Go program, they put on their thinking caps and figured out something that would attract a scene at the booth, but would also be a fun and memorable way to learn more about their program...a photo booth! And of course, it couldn't just be any old photo booth...the Two Dudes' open air booth was the perfect fit.
But the setup wasn't the perfect fit for us - we're used to stretching out our elbows and setting up shop in a nice big space, but this time we were limited to just THREE (gasp!) feet of space to shoot in. Lucky for them, no space is too big (or clearly too small!) for us to turn it into a beautiful photo booth.
evan & gee lyn get hitched at the bridges golf club
It was a busy weekend for the Two Dudes, and for these lovebirds! Evan & Gee Lyn's friends and family had our photo booth rocking all night, as they danced the night away at the Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon.
We had such a fun time flexing our photo booth for this fun crew; congratulations to the happy couple!
asian art museum wedding | thanh + neil
This weekend, we were thrilled to be a part of Thanh & Neil's wedding celebration at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. The Asian Art Museum is one of the most amazing in venues in SF, and nothing classes up a swanky joint like that better than some gold sequins and a Two Dudes open air photo booth!
minecraft birthday party
As a dad, I feel obligated to give my kids everything they want...and as a photographer, I have a little bit of a one-track mind. So when I asked my son what he wanted to do for his birthday party, and he started talking Minecraft, I knew we needed to bust out the green screen and create a Minecraft photo booth.
We set up the photo booth so that each of the four images used a different Minecraft background, supplied an iron sword and pickaxe, some creeper and Steve masks, and let the kids do what they do best!
gay vanity wedding show at the bently reserve
We were thrilled to be a part of the first annual Gay Vanity Wedding Show. This was an amazing event at the Bently Reserve in San Francisco, giving the most stylish vendors in the San Francisco Bay Area an opportunity to connect with LGBT couples interested in hiring classy vendors for their big day.
When it comes to classy photo booth rentals, it doesn't get much better than the 2 Dudes and their magical open air booth. We (literally) rolled out the red carpet and gave hundreds of couples and event planners a little taste of why we like to call ourselves the best photo booth in the Bay Area...looking at the photos, we think they liked it.
oyster point dragons fundraiser
We had the pleasure of joining the Oyster Point Dragons racing team for their annual fundraiser last weekend. It was a fun night of Hawaiian/Polynesian music and dancing, delicious food, and of course fantastic photo booth antics!
celebrating the new brand | conversant launch day
Who says you can't have fun on a Monday afternoon?
Conversant, formerly known as ValueClick, knows what's up. When they announced their new name to employees, they did it with style - treating everyone to a hard-earned beer and some photo booth fun right at their office in the San Francisco Financial District (and right down the street from us)!
We had a blast celebrating the cool new branding with the Conversant crew, and can't wait to come back for their next corporate event!
cal young alumni hoops party | berkeley open air photo booth
Our friends from the Cal Alumni Association had us out for yet another fantastic fiesta, this time to prepare everyone for the huge showdown between the (spoiler alert) previously unbeaten #1 Arizona Wildcats and the glorious Cal Bears Men's basketball teams.
As usual, the CAA put on a heck of a party (at the Alumni House in Berkeley), the Cal Bears pulled off an amazing buzzer beater to hand the Wildcats their first loss, and I don't mean to be presumptuous, but I think having the Two Dudes' photo booth at the party was probably the one thing that really pushed the tide of the game in Cal's favor. I'm just saying.
casa real wedding | pleasanton open air photo booth
Last night, we had the pleasure of working another fabulous Indian wedding at the Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery in Pleasanton. What an amazing night - a beautiful venue, fantastic food, and lots of fun, friendly people coming through the photo booth all night.
responsys sales kickoff | san francisco open air photo booth
When the folks at Responsys called us and requested not one, but TWO booths for their sales kickoff, we knew we were in for a good time. And talk about a party - no less than ten different food trucks for dinner, followed by a rocking 80's-themed party with the amazing live band Tainted Love, there was no skimping at all!
These folks brought the 80s back so well, they hardly needed props in the booth! They definitely put us through our paces - this was our first time running two of our open-air booths at the same time, but things went off without a hitch, and the whole crowd got into the action as a result.
doctor, doctor give me the news | palo alto open air photo booth
We kicked off 2014 with a celebration at the lovely Stanford campus where the Oncology department was celebrating another year of important work and intense studies. And with all the work these students put in, what better way could there be to blow off some steam than spending a few hours in our open air photo booth??
We had a fresh batch of props and our Cal- err, cobalt blue backdrop ready for action, and they got to work without missing a step!
new year's eve bash | san francisco open air photo booth
Wow, it seems like just days since we setup our photo booth at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco for Neelav & Neha's incredible Indian wedding, and I guess that's because it was!
This time, we were up on the 32nd floor in Victor's Palace for an incredible night of drinking, dancing, and some more drinking as this wild band of rapscallions rocked the night away to the ultimate party music, courtesy of the man, the myth the legend - Diamond Dave Hosley!
We got to break out our Gatsby Gold & Black backdrop for it's inaugural run, and I have to say it certainly added a nice touch of class that fit perfectly with the classy venue, the classy music, and the classy attire!
neelav & neha wedding | san francisco open air photo booth
We were honored to be included as part of Neha & Neelav's freaking-amazingly-incredible wedding at the Westin St. Francis recently! These two threw one heck of a party, even for Indian wedding standards and we were so happy to be part of their Big Day.
What a fun night, we love working with the staff (and venue!) at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, plus we LOVE LOVE LOVE working Indian weddings - they always provide the best of all things photo booth related - fun, friendly people who aren't afraid to get crazy, colorful outfits, and when we take a second to grab a bite to eat, the food never disappoints!
