What Makes Vive en Blanc Different from a Photo Booth?
We’ve all seen them. The open-air photo booths at weddings with props, boas, plastic sunglasses, and little strips of photos guests forget in their pockets by the end of the night. They’re fun in the moment. But by the next day, they’re usually just that—a memory.
When we created Vive en Blanc, it came from the idea that moments this meaningful deserve something more.
A Studio-Like Portrait Experience, Right at the Reception
Vive en Blanc isn’t meant to replace the fun of a photo booth—it’s a completely different experience. Instead of quick snaps and party props, it’s a clean, minimal black-and-white portrait setup. Think studio lighting, flattering composition, and a soft editorial style that captures people as they truly are.
Guests step in front of a white backdrop looking incredible—and leave with a portrait that actually feels like them.
The Gift of Being Seen
What surprised us most after the first few weddings wasn’t just how the portraits looked—it was how people reacted to them. They’d come back to the print station holding their image like it meant something. One person said, “I’ve never had a photo like this of myself before.”
That’s when it really clicked.
People dress up, feel great, and celebrate alongside the couple they care about. But no one really photographs the guests in a way that honors that moment. Vive en Blanc fills that gap, quietly, in the background of the celebration.
Not Just for Guests—A Keepsake for the Couple
One of the things couples tell us later is how meaningful it is to have these portraits of their loved ones. Not just the group table shots or party candids—but formal, composed images of friends, grandparents, cousins they don’t see often.
You’ll get the full gallery after the event, and we often hear that flipping through those portraits becomes one of the couple’s favorite parts of looking back on their day.
A Quiet, Elevated Touch
If you’re planning a wedding in Northeast Pennsylvania, this might be something worth thinking about. Vive en Blanc doesn’t shout for attention. It doesn’t need to. It fits quietly into the rhythm of the reception, offering something thoughtful and unexpected to your guests.
No noise. No props. Just people—photographed well, remembered beautifully.
