Been in the photo booth industry for nearly 10 years and generate $400k annually (set to do over half a mil by 2024) in the wedding and events space. I don't feel like I am the expert by any means in business or entrepreneurship, but I've built a couple successful companies on a small scale, and have an MBA, so maybe I can contribute to your success. AMA!

What's the process for getting started, where did you buy, did you buy with savings or credit. How did you get hooked up with the weddings/events circuit, what market are you in?

Details MF!

Bootstrapped it all. Lots of different vendors (my Amazon bills are outrageous at times). Mobibooth, minbooth (boothactive), and orcavue are main equipment providers I use.

I'm in the phoenix area now but was established in Tucson for majority of business. Now we service nationwide with partners in major cities around US.

I just started marketing (website, facebook page, trying to share with friends/family, yelp, thumbtack, anything that would work for leads back then). Funnily enough the first ever wedding I attended, was one where I was hired to work. I had no idea what the ceremony, reception, etc where and was googling the whole thing trying to make it sound like I knew what I was talking about. Fake it till you make it.
