Sometimes the sweetest wedding touches are also the simplest. This couple built their own photo booth using one of the arches from our lending closet here at Mitchell Grove in Humboldt County. With nothing more than a backdrop, a few zip ties, and a healthy dose of creativity, they gave their guests a place to laugh, pose, and take memories home.
It’s a reminder that staying on budget doesn’t mean cutting joy. In fact, the opposite can be true: the more room you give to imagination and people power, the more personal and memorable your wedding becomes. A photo booth like this isn’t about fancy props or hired setups — it’s about your family and friends gathering around, striking silly poses, and sharing a moment together.
At Mitchell Grove in Humboldt County, we’ve seen time and again how couples on a budget create spaces that feel even richer than the styled shoots you see online. This little arch-turned-photo booth proves that with heart, creativity, and a zip tie or two, you can make your wedding day unforgettable.
