About The Absolute Best Thing

The Absolute Best Thing

Creative Director

A maximal, custom-designed, dimensional portrait station for your high-end event. We collaborate with you to create a space that is harmonious with your style, bringing in furniture, floral, props and lighting to craft an on-site portrait studio at your event with multiple possible angles. We staff it with a brilliant photographer that is able to photograph single people and small groups in interesting ways.

If you are looking for the most luxurious, the most outrageous, the most over-the-top portrait station in the country, you've found it. Welcome to The Absolute Best Thing. Our footprint is ideally 18' x 18', as we build an entire photo studio on site to make portraits in.

In three words: Confident, Creative, Innovative

    It really is the absolute best thing

    Tuan provided a portrait booth service to a wedding planning client of mine and everyone kept saying how much they loved the set up and the portraits of themselves! The best favor you can receive at a wedding is a really great photo of yourself and Tuan nails this with TABT 3

    Photo booths have become a common, almost expected part of modern events. The portrait experience that Tuan delivers is singular, and it is wonderful. Elegant, bespoke backdrops, expert photography, and charming guidance all play a part, but the result is more than the sum of those parts. Your guests deserve a memorable experience. They deserve “The Absolute Best Thing”

No two installs are alike! The design is a collaborative process, with you and/or your event designer participating as much or as little as you desire. You can give us a color palette and some keywords and let us run free, or you can work with us to lay out exactly what elements you want placed where, or anything in between.
Yes. If you can hold an event there, we can install The Absolute Best Thing there. Our secret - where possible, we use your existing vendors and create separate rental and fabrication orders with them, maximizing our flexibility. Whether it's a five-star hotel in Philly, a tent in a vineyard in Napa, or a villa in Italy, we will be right there with you.
Yes. We offer same-night prints at 4" x 6" and 8" x 10" as an option. We also offer instant film options, for analog lovers!
