The Seed for The Pose Garden

Not long after, my career took an unexpected turn. Instead of seeing it as a setback, I saw it as an invitation to finally pursue the idea that had quietly stayed with me since those weddings. I knew the impact a photo booth could have, and I knew I could do it better than what I had experienced.

So I did what I’ve always done when I feel passionate about something: I went all in.

I spent six months researching, training, and investing in best-in-class equipment, professional software, and industry masterminds. I learned camera settings, lighting, and the exposure triangle so every photo would be crisp, flattering and print-worthy. Along the way, I discovered flower walls — and fell completely in love with their beauty, versatility, and ability to transform a space. From backdrops to ceremony altars to statement décor, they opened the door to something bigger.

Then came Audio Guestbooks. Champagne walls. Thoughtful details that turn moments into memories.

What emerged was a vision for a one-stop wedding and special event experience — one that blends elegance with fun, aesthetics with emotion, and intentional design with unforgettable interactions.

As a woman-owned and operated business in a traditionally male-dominated industry, it’s important to me that our services truly reflect what a bride — and anyone celebrating a meaningful milestone — sees and feels. While weddings are our specialty, we bring the same care, creativity, and heart to baby showers, quinceañeras, anniversaries, vow renewals, and other celebrations where beautiful details matter. Every event is personalized with intention, from the colors and textures to the layout, flow, and finishing touches that make each celebration feel uniquely yours. If we don’t have something, we’ll source it. If we’ve never done it before, we’ll figure it out. And if it means stepping outside our comfort zone to bring a vision to life, we make it happen.

I approach every celebration the same way I would my own daughter’s wedding — with pride, intention, and a commitment to excellence — because these moments deserve nothing less.

While many in the industry focus on minimizing setups for speed and convenience, that’s simply not our style. We don’t rush. We don’t skimp. We take the time to add special touches because they matter. Whether it’s a wedding reception, a milestone birthday, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, we want guests to walk in and feel something — to be wowed before they even take their first photo.

Our goal is simple:
We want your guests to leave saying,
“That was one of the most beautiful and memorable celebrations we’ve ever been to.”

That’s The Pose Garden.
Thoughtfully designed. Beautifully executed. Unforgettable by nature.

Fast forward to 2024, when I attended another wedding and had my next encounter with a photo booth. This time it was a proper open-air setup, but it was self-serve and largely unnoticed. There was no backdrop, no lighting, no props, no guidance — and no one attending it. Guests who stumbled upon it still had fun (those photos are proudly displayed in our kitchen), but it felt like a missed opportunity. The magic was there… it just wasn’t fully realized.
