When Rosemarie Belisle steps into a wedding reception with her team at Absolute Photo Booth, they’re not just bringing cameras and props. They’re bringing the promise of laughter, spontaneity, and memories that will last for decades.
The company, which Rosemarie co-owns with her husband Greg Belisle, operates under the umbrella of Absolute Entertainment. The Belisles have built a business that goes far beyond snapping photos. Their mission is simple but heartfelt — to put customers first and make every event unforgettable.
“This isn’t always about making money. It’s about memories,” Rosemarie explained. “We really work with everyone.”
That mindset has shaped every corner of the business. From the way they coordinate with venues and other vendors to the way they treat guests at the booth, the Belisles have built a reputation for professionalism, flexibility and joy.
For Greg, the backbone of the business is quality. “Our attention to detail, quality of our equipment, props and attendants — very professional at all times,” he said. “At our events, clients can be proud of the quality photo guests are receiving.”
That quality is shown in the equipment Absolute Photo Booth uses, from high-resolution cameras to flattering lighting and customized templates. Unlike many competitors who still rely on thin photo strips, Absolute Photo Booth prints 4x6 photos. “It’s easier to find a frame and it allows for more space to design a template and more space for the photo,” he explained.
Absolute Photo Booth is versatile, serving everything from birthdays to corporate functions, but weddings are where the Belisles shine brightest. They offer packages ranging from digital — only at $495 to the Helio Booth at $995, with the popular Aura Booth at $895 in between.
The Aura and Pylon booths are favorites because of their adaptability. They can capture large groups or fit easily into tight spaces, and they are mobile. Rather than moving a crowd of guests to the booth, they can bring the booth to the dance floor. That mobility opens the door to more candid and unexpected moments, a feature that makes couples and guests alike light up. “It makes it more spontaneous and gives you unexpected moments,” Rosemarie shared. “You can have a lot of fun with it.”
But the Belisles know it’s not just about photos, it’s about experiences.
Couples can add scrapbooks or audio guest books to their package, with antique phones cleverly reconfigured to record heartfelt or humorous messages from guests.
“We try to do whatever we can to make it a personalized service,” said Rosemarie. That personalization can even extend to props and booth backdrops coordinated with the wedding’s color scheme.
“We want to be unique and give choices to the couples,” she added.
The props are a highlight of every event. Rosemarie keeps an entire arsenal at the ready, delighting adults and kids alike. “People do love the props,” she said with a laugh. “I especially love seeing the kids get into it.”
Both Greg and Rosemarie emphasize that their commitment goes beyond the equipment. “We always arrive early to set up, so everything looks perfect when guests arrive,” said Greg. “When working at a new venue, we do a site review, and we arrive early to work out any logistics to provide the best experience.” They also include an hour of idle time at no extra charge — something most vendors add a fee for — so that couples can have the booth open for the entirety of the wedding.
Rosemarie takes pride in blending traditional charm with modern convenience. While the industry trend leans toward digital delivery, Absolute Photo Booth continues to offer printed photos alongside digital options.
“The trend is more toward digital, but we’re maintaining the old style with prints,” she explained. “It warms my heart to see the smiles when people see the prints.”
Everyone who steps into the booth gets a copy of their photo — not just one for the group — and Absolute Photo Booth keeps digital copies archived for a couple of years so couples can always retrieve them if needed. For many families, those images become treasured keepsakes long after the party is over.
The Belisles are also committed to being flexible and collaborative. They work closely with other vendors to ensure the booth doesn’t disrupt the flow of an event, and they adjust their schedule around each couple’s timeline.
“We pay close attention to the details and work as a team with vendors,” Rosemarie shared. “The goal is to make everything go nice and smooth.”
Teamwork was especially critical after the coronavirus pandemic, when couples who had postponed weddings rescheduled.
“After COVID, when everyone was having the weddings they missed, we bought more photo booths so people wouldn’t have to miss out,” Rosemarie recalled. The investment allowed Absolute Photo Booth to accommodate the surge of demand and ensured no couple had to forgo the experience.
Despite the logistical challenges of setting up equipment, managing props, and coordinating schedules, the Belisles said they wouldn’t have it any other way.
“We do it because we love it,” said Rosemarie. For her, the best moments are when guests tug her toward the dance floor or beam at their prints fresh from the booth.
“I love the creativity of the guests and the fun they’re having,” she added.
That passion is why Absolute Photo Booth has become more than a service provider — it has become a memory-maker. Every wedding is an opportunity to capture moments that couples and their families will cherish long after the music fades, and the Belisles never take that responsibility lightly.
Their advice to couples is simple and grounded in experience: enjoy the day, let go of the small stresses, and trust that the memories will take care of themselves.
“Enjoy every moment of your wedding day,” Rosemarie said. “Things will work themselves out.”
In the end, it’s not just about photographs or props. It’s about the stories those snapshots tell, the laughter frozen in time, and the heartfelt messages whispered into a vintage phone.
With Rosemarie and Greg Belisle at the helm, Absolute Photo Booth ensures those moments are not just captured but celebrated in the fullest sense.
