Boothnation at the
National Portrait Gallery
Friday 25th May

Fashionista Friday was the colourful title of what turned out to be a wild night at the National Portrait Gallery. Along with voguing workshops, an escalator catwalk and a great DJ, our classic photobooth provided art and entertainment to the oh-so-trendy crowds.

Lovebirds spotted in Primrose Hill

Congratulations to Sarah and Ade on their wonderful wedding reception at the chic Sardo Canale restaurant in leafy Primrose Hill. Lovebirds, the theme for the day, were sighted throughout the restaurant and even appeared on our photobooth.

Their spirited and glamorous guests embraced the booth with no small measure of passion and verve. A wonderful and witty round of speeches was followed by what can only be described as a very colourful photo shoot.

Boothnation thanks Justine, in particular, for her many return visits. The photostrip album is an hilarious and vivid momento of what was for everyone a very special day.
