Great people to work with!

Timothy and LeeAnn Groves were great to work with. They did an amazing job on our photo guest book & entertained our guest with their props. They made it a very fun time for everyone.

Totally rocked it!

The quality of the photo booth is incredible. And so much fun!! The photographer was awesome, and kept things light and fun! And he will call you on your dance moves, so better bring your A-game!

Are you interested?

Highly recommended!

The best possible photo booth experience! Fun, professional, great photo strips and quality! Having the photo book at the end of the evening was amazing! They even paid attention to who hadn’t made it in and made sure they did so the bride and groom had the best experience.

Wedding photography

Tim was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about him. The day after my wedding my family and friends were even talking about how great he was.

To start from day 1, Tim and LeeAnn were nothing but the best with answering any questions or concerns about having them at our wedding reception! We would have them for any event without a doubt!
Now for the reception, the set up was something I’ve never seen before. So professional and had many fun items for the guests! Honestly I’ve never seen so many people take pictures within a photo booth but the set up and professionalism was that inviting!
Additionally we received a book of all of our photos! This is such a blessing to see everyone now, a year from now, and so on within our album. We are blessed to have booked them for our special day!
Tim and Leeann, thank you for being the best and meeting not only our needs and wants, but our onslaught of guests! We had so many compliments regarding the photo booth and props!
With much Love, Bobby & Ashley Curtis

We decided on a whim to add a photo booth to our wedding reception, and it was SUCH a good decision! This company was so easy to communicate with and so professional! The photo booth was a huge hit- it was packed all night and everyone was talking about it. The best part is we got a book at the end of the night with everyone's pictures in it- such an awesome keepsake that really captured how much fun the night was! This service was so worth what we paid- and then some! I am so happy we went with It's Your Day photo booth and would highly recommend to anyone!

Both the photography and the photo booth were amazing! Tim went above and beyond to make sure I got every photo I wanted. He came prepared with great ideas for poses, is very determined, was always ready to take pics, and to top it off was extremely polite and engaging with my guests. The final images are gorgeous!! LeeAnn is just the same with the photo booth! They are a must for any special occasion!

We had a ball at our birthday bash for our Classmates who are all turning 70 in 2017. There were notions galore to dress and act silly!! Our whole experience with Tim was professional yet comfortable. He responded quickly and was prompt to our party. He even designed a custom banner for the photo strips! He went over and above to put together a link to view all photos which will be great to send to our out of towners and those unable to attend so they can vicariously enjoy their classmates!! Highly recommend!!

This is the second time we have used It's Your Day Photo Booth. The first time was for my daughter and niece's family birthday party. This time was for my husband's company Christmas party. They are so great to work with and I couldn't be happier. The quality of the pictures are great and they have a nice array of props to use. You will not be disppointed! Your guests will LOVE this photo booth!

Best Photo Booth Ever!! My Aunts gave me this photobooth as part of my wedding present and it was such a great idea. Everyone had so much fun and the book they give is awesome! We also made some of our own props that were personalized and it added an extra special touch. Such a blast and the owners of the company are so nice and flexible! GREAT SERVICE!

They have a ton of fun props to choose from and the layouts of the photos are beautiful. The quality of the photos are gorgeous as well and I loved that our guests got a copy and we got a copy of every photo in a personalized album made that night!

Our best photo booth experience to date! They had Tons of props that were in great condition. They coordinated the photo strips to match the theme of the party. They were Extremely easy to work with and went out of their way to make the event memorable for us. And best of all they were very affordable! I plan on using them for future events as well!

It's your day was so much fun at our wedding! They had amazing props and the quality of their Photo Booth was the best I have ever seen! I loved my photo book & disc with all the pictures! I love that the pictures on the disc were full size and not just the strips! It made a hilarious Facebook album!

Timothy and lea ann are great. They worked with me all the way up to our wedding day. They have awsome customer service. All our family and friends enjoyed their photo booth. Our wedding book with all the pictures of all of our guests is one of the our favorite albums to look at. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have a photo booth at their event

We had its your day photo booth at our wedding reception. The photo booth was a bigger hit than the bar. They were extremely professional and so much fun to work with. Not only did our guests receive prints of the pictures they took. We also received a copy of every picture taken in an album and disk. Many of our guests told us afterwards how much fun the photo booth was. I would recommend this service to everyone. Created awesome memories for us and showed us how much fun our guests had! I love them

Awesome service for our Church Summer Festival. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the added bonus of photos. We were bummed when our regular photo people- Do It Here onsite photography weren't available, but were pleasantly surprised with this service. Very friendly couple. Easy to work with and local to our community (always a bonus).

Tim and his wife were wonderful to work with during my wedding. They were kind and professional at all times. We truly appreciated their photo booth at our wedding, everyone complimented us on this idea! In fact my friend even booked them for her wedding in sept!
