Bridgeport Art Center Skyline Loft Birthday Bash

We had the pleasure of celebrating a very special man's 90th BIRTHDAY party over the weekend at the Bridgeport Art Center Skyline Loft. His family pulled out all the stops: there was a huge candy table by our Chicago favorite Candyality, a nitro ice cream bar, ten piece band that dressed up like the Rat Pack, a Marilyn Monroe impersonator and of course a Fotio photo booth. Bridgeport Art Center is by far one of our FAVORITE event spaces as it offers amazing views of the city along with spacious, easily transformable rooms with rustic and historic charm. The Bridgeport Art Center is also home to many artists, exhibits, classes, and other events throughout the year so it is certainly a unique and vibrant location for your event! The BAC has open studios every 3rd Friday if you want to explore the spacious 18,000 sq. ft historic building (built in 1911!) otherwise you can get in touch with Venue Logic if you want to learn more about the Skyline Loft event space. This is one of the best spaces for watching that perfect Chicago sunset on your special day!

Fotio looks so cool in front of the large windows in the Skyline Loft at Bridgeport Art Center.

The Proper Prop Game

Sometimes an accessory is all you need to make an outfit and in this case, it is making the photo. Dressing up allows us to play a bit, really diving into your inner child. We have pulled some Fotio photos from our archive to exemplify a good range of proper prop usage. Fotio is a fresh new take on the prop game. We source high quality and classic looking props to make sure the photos still look elegant with that special Fotio feel. Let us help you make your party, memorable, entertaining and most of all, AUTHENTIC.

There are FIVE props in this photo and it is amazing, seen here at Morgans in Fulton Market.

Bridgeport Art Center Sculpture Garden Photo Booth

We absolutely love the new Bridgeport Art Center sculpture garden/1st floor gallery event space. It is a perfect Chicago wedding venue with a rustic and vintage feel. We covered a wedding there last night and used the pristine white wall as a backdrop for the photo booth pictures. Everyone went crazy for Fotio and we got 700+ shots of all the guests. Check out how cool Fotio looked in the space below and view the full gallery at www.fotio.co/6-7-14
