The Photosofa

The Photosofa is the perfect way to record your special day. Your guests take their own picture using studio quality equipment and write a special message, both the picture and the message form facing pages in a professionally bound book to make a unique record of your day.

The Photosofa is usually set-up for your evening reception so as to include all your guests. It is good if the best man can introduce it at the end of his speech and there will be examples of printed books to get your guests in the mood.

As well as the sofa there is a camera which is radio controlled, a set of studio lights and a computer. The guests trigger the camera with the radio control when they are ready.


Most people take a few pictures and pick the one they like, this will be the one that is used in the book, they then write a comment, usually this is with gold and silver pens on a black background, but whatever combination best suits your theme can be used.

To make sure the whole process goes smoothly an operater is on hand to encourage your guests and show examples although most people don't need much encouragement...
The images and the accompaning text are professionally bound into a hardback book to form a unique and special reminder of your big day.

The individualism of the guests comes through in a way that is not possible with posed wedding photographs.


The Photosofa is becoming very popular, each one is individual and as well as chosing the setting props such as big glasses can be on hand.













Gillian and Kevin

Gillian had warned me that the wedding would be slightly unconventional. It began at a registry office.

The wedding party then walked through the centre of Bristol with photographs both posed and candid.

They were greeted with champagne on their arrival at the Bristol Mercury Hotel where the wedding breakfast speeches followed. The best man thoughtfully providing ear defenders for the bride before her groom spoke.


Jules and Rayth

The Avon Gorge Hotel was the setting for the wedding of Jules and Rayth.
The ceremony took place inside the hotel and after a celebratory drink, the guests enjoyed the terrace and hidden gardens before returning for the wedding breakfast and to dance the night away.
