Today we’d like to introduce you to Liz Colón.
Hi Liz, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My journey with Captured Celebrations began as I embarked on the exciting planning process for my daughter’s quinceañera. The idea sprouted during the search for vendors for her upcoming celebration in July 2023, and that’s when I first encountered the enchanting world of photo booths. Inspired by the potential to add a unique and memorable touch to special occasions, I saw an opportunity to create something truly magical.
Fueled by my passion for creating joyous memories, I decided to venture into the photobooth business. Starting from the initial concept sparked during the quinceañera planning; Captured Celebrations has grown into a venture that aims to redefine event photo booths. The journey has been both exhilarating and challenging, filled with moments of creativity, learning, and the joy of bringing smiles to countless faces.
Today, I am proud to see how Captured Celebrations has evolved, offering innovative and personalized photobooth experiences. Each event is an opportunity to capture the essence of celebration and create lasting memories. The path from the inspiration sparked by a family celebration to where we are today has been a remarkable adventure, and I am excited for the continued growth and magic that lies ahead.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road hasn’t always been smooth. Initially, sourcing high-quality equipment on a limited budget was a hurdle. I also underestimated the technical complexities of operating and maintaining the photo booth, leading to some stressful troubleshooting moments at early events. There were definitely days when self-doubt crept in, wondering if I’d bitten off more than I could chew.
But with each challenge came a valuable lesson. Sourcing local suppliers helped bring down equipment costs, and I quickly learned to rely on online forums and tutorials for technical support. Every tricky event situation honed my problem-solving skills and adaptability. As for doubts, I found a supportive community of entrepreneurs who offered encouragement and shared experiences.
Overcoming these struggles made me a more resourceful and confident business owner. Now, I can handle unexpected issues calmly and creatively. Most importantly, I learned that the joys of seeing happy faces light up at their captured memories far outweigh any bumps in the road. This business is my passion, and every challenge simply fuels my determination to make Captured Celebrations an even bigger success story.
