“Morgan and Sage tied the knot this past July 4th weekend here in Jackson.  When one of Morgan’s friends suggested that she find a photo booth and get a little more creative with her guestbook, she tracked the Fotobox down at jacksonholephotobooth.com.  We put together a scrap book and provided glue sticks and sharpie pens so her guests could paste one copy of their Fotobox strips into the book and write a message to the B&G.  It came together so well. Morgan and Sage are thrilled!  This is a great way to use Fotobox and bring a little something more to a wedding party. And since it was July 4th we had to throw Old Glory up for the background.  It looked great!!!

I opened my mail today and found this great card from Lyndsey and Ryan who will be getting married this September here in Jackson. I thought it was a really great piece so I asked her where she got the inspiration for this:

“I bought that WPA postcard from the visitor’s center at the park when we were there in January. I immediately thought of it when I knew we were doing the wedding in January. It wasn’t too hard to find similar typefaces to customize it for our Save the Date, and then add the wedding couple. Easy & fast- exactly what we needed!”

They have also provided their guests with a great blog for info on their big weekend: http://gicemottlwedding.blogspot.com/

Hannah Hardaway’s portrait and wedding photography is clean and refreshing. Her honest approach to bringing out the joy in life and in people reflects her background in narrative, documentary storytelling. Having traveled extensively in the world, both as a professional skier and as a lover of life and adventure, Hannah thrives in just about any environment with ease and magnetism. She lives by a cup-half-full way of being, and naturally sees the light in people and brings out the natural beauty and magic in everything – from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Her photography is both romantic and vibrant, while humble and natural.

“For me it’s about the little moments, the in-between spaces that tell the story. It’s the emotions of the day, the people who share in it, the relationships, and the details that make the character of each wedding unique and special. As the day unfolds, I capture the beauty of it all with minimal directing and instead focus on highlighting and enhancing the celebration.  My objective is to put people at ease in front of the camera and make the photography of the event a fun part of the whole experience.”

From the time we opened our “doors” online, we have marked every special occasion – from moving in to our first real office in downtown Mountain View, California in 2005 to every major upgrade we make to the website – with a celebration. In 2009 Beau-coup debuted on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America. The company had achieved a 3-year growth rate of 243%, an accomplishment to which everyone contributed and for which we are all extremely proud. Despite amazing growth, we still manage to celebrate every employee’s birthday and anniversary with the company.

We believe that life is a series of milestones to be celebrated and that favors are an important part of every special occasion. Beau-coup is committed to providing an unmatched selection of high quality favors and gifts and exceptional customer service so that every celebration will be a once-in-a-lifetime event. We want to inspire our customers and help them find the perfect way to honor their achievements, and to thank their loved ones – to say merci beaucoup.

Our Story

The idea behind Beau-coup originated from my experience as bride. My husband and I knew we wanted our guest favor to be something unique, something that reflected our interests and personality. Like most couples, we pored over stacks of bridal magazines, surfed the major wedding websites, and visited numerous bridal shops for ideas. To our dismay, we seemed to come across the same set of products from vendor to vendor. We eventually decided to give our guests personalized golf balls (we love playing golf together!). The shopping experience was a difficult and frustrating one for us – we worked with three different vendors and spent many long hours packaging individual golf balls.

We started Beau-coup shortly after our wedding. Having gone through the process ourselves, we knew there was a real need online for a one-stop wedding favors shop that offers unique and high quality items. And we also knew how stressful and emotional planning a wedding can be. Beau-coup’s mission is to help make the process a little less stressful, even enjoyable, by offering the most exceptional customer service and an unmatched selection of quality guest favors at competitive prices. I also hope you will be inspired by all the unique ideas on our website, whether it’s how to tie the perfect bow or display your favors, we hope to make a difference.

Polly Liu, Founder

The first time I visited Jackson I was a 13 year-old with a Kodak Disk camera. I shot more than a hundred rolls of film while traversing America that summer. My memories of that trip remain clearer today than any of the horribly grainy and distorted images that I still keep tucked away in an old picture album. It is these memories that compelled me to leave the blur of city life behind and return to Jackson eight wonderful years ago. Since then I have worked full-time photographing weddings, family portraits and doing travel photography. Before getting to Jackson I graduated with a Masters in Photojournalism from Ohio University and worked shooting freelance documentary projects for Washingtonpost.com. I’ve won numerous state and national awards and my work has been exhibited in publications ranging from the New York Times to Photo District News magazine. Today, more than anything I enjoy playing in mountains with my dog P.J. and traveling the world in search of friendly people and fascinating new cultures.
