So how does a party get thrown? 

1. START WITH WHY?

Having a why will help set a foundation for the party. The theme will come into place and allow you to create an environment not only pretty and fun; but meaningful and impactful for your guests! Give a reason for your guests to come and socialize.

2. LEAD WITH LIGHT

Even though as iPhone photographers, we use heavy white balance, being mindful of how light affects mood is K E Y. Simply testing the environment on your phone camera is a handy trick.

3. ENGAGE THE SENSES

The more you can immerse your guests, the more you can leave an impact. Brainstorm ways can you engage the senses to give your guests an experience to remember. Sight: Having installations or decorations relating to the why is what makes your party visually enjoyable.  Sound: Have good music.  Touch: Providing a game or activity to get your guests involved while taking photographs. Taste: Oh please… don’t forget the snacks, appetizers, and drinks. // For an example of an Instagrammable party, visit the link here.
