I love documenting family reunions! These events are great opportunities to build cross-generational ties and pass on your family history. The younger members of your family can learn more about your culture and history, which deepens the connections for everyone.
The Spells Family, which I documented in this reunion, has a particularly rich history themselves. They hail from the Spells Plantation and used this reunion to connect the elderly and the young. Come with me as I look at the significance of this reunion, the venue they chose, and how I documented this event.
- Myrtle Beach at Embassy Suites
Myrtle Beach is a luxurious oceanfront resort in South Carolina. Embassy Suites is located at the north end of the beach, close to the center of it, and offers a magical, family-friendly beachside experience. This was where the Spells family hosted their reunion on July 22, 2023.
Embassy Suites and Myrtle Beach themselves are part of the Kingston Plantation, which has a history of enslaved people and slavery. These days, it is a lovely beachfront property with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. There are multiple swimming pools, a waterpark, and lots of waterfront activities you can enjoy while visiting here.
- Spells Family Reunion at Embassy Suites, Myrtle Beach
The Spells held their family reunion at Myrtle Beach to ensure their family stays reunited. It was a lovely event where they also introduced the oldest family member to a two-year-old grandchild. It was a fun experience as the Spells love to laugh, dance, bowl, and praise the goodness of the Lord.
Before contacting me, I had previously worked for a Cousin of the family, Dr. Bryant. For this event, they hired my photography and photo booth services. I especially loved that they added the photo booth to their event, as it adds to the fun and excitement of the day. They chose this after a family member attended an event I did in Orangeburg, and I explained how beneficial the photo booth is to an event.
Here are some words from the Spells Family themselves that I‘d love to share with you.
- What do you want to remember about this season in your family’s life?
“One must know their history before they can truly understand their future endeavors.” I agree with the Spells family about the importance of history. As I mentioned earlier, family reunions allow you to pass that history to the younger generation.
- Why Was This Reunion Planned, and What do you love most about yourselves as a family?
“One thing that I love about our family is that we have true love. We also planned this reunion to ensure that our family stay united and love one another.” It was easy to see the true love that this family shares during this reunion. The lovely photos from the event tell it all.
- What Convinced You to Try Out Our Service and Did You Have a Good Time?
Your professionalism is what convinced us to try out your services and use the Magic Mirror photo booth. It was nice, convenient, and beneficial, and we thank you for your service.
- Final Words
I had a lovely time documenting this beautiful family at their reunion. It is an important event that connects generations, and taking pictures of it helps to keep the memories of these moments alive. You can use these pictures to tell stories at future events and even pass them down as an heirloom to future generations.
The Spells Family also used my Magic Mirror Photo Booth at their event, and it was a fantastic idea. It gave everyone a special souvenir that they could go home with to remember the event. I had a lovely time coordinating the process and making sure I captured every special moment.
