City Winery Chicago located in Chicago's West Loop at 1200 W. Randolph Street is a very hip and relaxed venue for your Chicago wedding, corporate event, or non-profit fundraiser. The team at City Winery is a pleasure to work and will make sure to take great care of you and your guests.

Fotio's Guide to a Successful Fotio Album: Ten Steps to Help You Achieve Epic Photo Booth Photos

January 12, 2016

#10 Looking good is is very important -remember to stop by Fotio as soon as possible! Sometimes by the end of the night outfits change ( i.e. groom loses jacket and bow tie). The bride and groom are extremely popular the night of their wedding. SO, if you are looking for a couple formal photos, we suggest taking photos in the very beginning and throughout the whole evening. If at all possible grab a couple photos before the reception starts! You won't regret it!

Keep it together! Get some great photos! (taken at A New Leaf event venue)

Feel your best! Have faith in Fotio. (photo booth setup at ARTango)

Have fun and let lose, we will do the rest!

Flashback! Eighties For A Night!

November 29, 2015

Look out everybody! The eighties were back for just one night and in a big way! Everyone in attendance was dressed to impress for this Chicago 80s themed wedding celebration at Mayne Stage! Fotio transformed into an 80s style photo booth and we got some amazing pictures of the the guests! Mayne Stage is nestled in the historic Rogers Park neighborhood on Chicago's north side. The theater was transformed into a 1980's jam fest. Mayne stage has two floors with a bar on each floor and the venue is perfect for any large scale Chicago corporate event or non-traditional wedding space. In 1912 the Morse Theatre was built in the same footprint where Mayne Stage stands today! The band Sixteen Candles played during the reception and everyone dressed exactly like they were in the 1980's! Mayne stage is by far one of our favorite wedding/corporate music venues in Chicago!

Halloween: Fotio Costume Report

October 27, 2015

Halloween marks the time of year for change. The trees are changing and the leaves are falling. The warm air moves out and the cooler air moves in. We change our clocks back and gain an hour. Less daylight and more darkness. The new year is approaching. People of all ages love Halloween. For one night a year we can transform into our perfect heart's desire. Everyone gets to choose an alter ego or a super hero. We love the mystery and magic of the season. All year around we have the honor or dressing up people all the time. Sometimes people feel more comfortable wearing props so they don't have to pose as themselves on a regular Saturday. Fotio creates that magic and mystery we all crave. We have dug deep into the Fotio archive to share some our favorite Halloween inspired photo booth photos.

History in the making! Gay Marriage is here to stay, FINALLY!

October 4, 2015

This year we as a nation celebrate Gay Marriage. 2015 was a very special year for so many people in the United States. After the ruling, Fotio photo booth has had the honor of celebrating some of these first official gay marriage weddings here in Chicago. Illinois became the 16th state to legalize Same-Sex Marriage. Governor Patt Quinn signed the law November 20th, 2013 took effect on June 1, 2014. State by state courts were legalizing marriage. Finally some states were understanding that marriage is about love and commitment, not gender. On June 26th 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court ruling of same-sex marriage requires all states to issue marriage licenses to all same-sex couples and to recognizes gay marriages. To be free to legally start a marriage with the one you love. To think about all the people that were waiting to make it official, we celebrate them! Below we have shared some of our same-sex marriages that we have so honorably been a part of. Love is the number one ingredient to marriage.

The Adler Planetarium is a memorable and elegant wedding venue located in downtown Chicago's Museum Campus. It is next to Lake Michigan and offers beautiful outdoor and indoor event rental options. The North Terrace and Sundial Plaza are a perfect for an outdoor wedding ceremony or cocktail hour complete with breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline.

A Fotio Photo Booth setup in Cafe Galileo's at Adler Planetarium.

Since this was our first time bringing a Fotio Photo Booth to the Adler Planetarium we made an appointment and met with Michelle Eastham from Food for Thought Catering to give us a tour of the venue. The reception for this wedding was taking place in Cafe Galileo's so we needed to figure out a Fotio backdrop (we can't photograph against windows because of the glare!). Luckily we were working with Chicago Wedding Planner Elisa Juster from The Simply Elegant Group along with Chicago event decor company Atmosphere Events Group (AEG) to help us figure this out! Victoria Claus from AEG supplied some fabric/tapestry backdrop options for us to test out with Fotio. We ended up using an ornate silver/gold pattern which fit in thematically with the sleek tented wedding feel. View the full gallery of photo booth pictures from the Alder Planetarium here: http://fotio.co/5-30-15-adler

Chicago's Best Vintage Style Loft Wedding Venues

July 1, 2015

There are so many amazing loft venues in Chicago we thought we should include a write up of some the favorites we have worked at in the past few weeks. On the South-side we absolutely love the Bridgeport Art Center Skyline Loft. The beautiful exposed brick and amazing views of the city really make this an engaging and romantic wedding venue for your special day. Here are a few pictures of a vintage inspired Chicago wedding we covered with Carlene Smith of Naturally Yours Events, Toast and Jam DJs, Rent Vintage Chicago, and Venue Logic. The Bridgeport Art Center is perfect for a large Chicago wedding. Plus they have an outdoor sculpture garden on the first floor if you want an outside element for your wedding ceremony or cocktail hour.

We also love the Lacuna Artist Lofts in Chicago's Pilsen District. The Reverie gallery makes for an artistic and restoration hardware type of non-traditional Chicago wedding venue. Your guests will love exploring the cool art and unique space all around. They also have a rooftop deck perfect for your outdoor wedding ceremony/cocktail hour. Lacuna Artist Lofts is also great for a very large Chicago wedding.

Another beautiful Chicago loft venue is Room 1520 located in the West Loop on Randolph St. This is a smaller to medium sized wedding venue with pristine white walls (which make for amazing up-lighting!) and a clean feel. The venue manager Celeste Campise is super accommodating and nice to work with.

Vintage Open Air Photo Booth Rental for Chicago Corporate Events and Conventions

June 22, 2015

Chicago is such an iconic city perfectly situated between America's coasts which makes it an ideal location for conventions, trade shows, and corporate meetings. This past year we have had all kinds of new and interesting businesses looking to use a Fotio photo booth to capture and impress event attendees at various events around Chicago. Most recently NeoCon was in town (the largest architecture and design expo which takes place at Merchandise Mart). We worked with Humanscale for their NeoCon after party at Moe's Cantina in River North. They wanted an open air photo booth which could capture guests posing on their elegantly designed Ballo stools. They also wanted the photos to be branded so we included a watermark on the online gallery so guests would remember who sponsored the fun photo booth!

Another recent event in town was the Microsoft Ingite 2015 Convention which took place at the McCormick Place Convention Center. We were hired to cover the photo booth for the Microsoft Surface party at Headquarters Beercade River North. HQ Beercade is a fun and interactive event space with all the wild and crazy video games and craft beer you can imagine. This is a perfect non-traditional corporate gathering space close to downtown Chicago!

We also had the opportunity to work with Dell & Intel for the HIMMS15 conference at McCormick Place. They wanted a corporate sponsored open-air photo booth with watermarks that would fit in with the festive Latin fusion decor at their West Loop event space Carnivale. Carnivale is beautifully decorated and extremely spacious - it's address is 702 W. Fulton Market.
