Today we’d like to introduce you to Mariah Lawler and Percy Bell.
Hi Mariah and Percy, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Honestly, it was a random idea and it actually took a minute to get started. A few years ago, I saw a 360 Photo Booth on social media at a celebrity charity event. I thought to myself man that is so cool and would be the thing of the year and all of the events! I wonder how much it cost! After doing a little research, again this was before they were as popular as they are now, I could only find one, and it was a much larger one, and a pretty healthy penny. I mentioned it to Percy a little later and then finally found one that was within our price range. In our relationship, I am the idea person, and he is the research all of the details person. With that being said, I asked him about getting a 360 Photo Booth. He initially said not right now. Little did I know, he had been doing an extensive amount of research on the best brand to purchase, the most compatible softwares, extra tools needed, and all of the initial costs. I am so glad he did that because there is no way I would have been as prepared alone. So, I think I asked again what he thought about going into the business and simultaneously we saw it on social media and I said, “that could be us!” A week or so later, he presented his research and game plan and Perfect Vue was born!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has been pretty smooth. With all businesses or ideas, there are the different phases one goes through. The learning your market and value, the beginning of “getting out there”; it is all a part of the process, right? There have not been many struggles we have encountered thankfully. I do believe people are a little shocked with the price of renting a 360 Photo Booth and Photo Booths in general. Another aspect, with the 360 being one of the more interactive booths, it requires us as the booth operators to be really engaging with the guests and make them feel comfortable to explore their personality while making those memories!
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a cardiac nurse but I love crafts and events! It is all about the experience!! People will remember an experience and how it made them feel. So, I love to keep that in the forefront with all that I am doing. Percy is an actor, model, and creative. I think we provide a perfect mixture because he can get the angles and logistics perfect with the camera, as well as help our guests with poses. I help with the themed props and input with designing the overlays. With a background in the film industry, Percy is able to bring really creative ideas and concepts to ensure our guest get the most out of their photos and videos.
