The upcoming Pride photo pop-up, Saturated, is set to revolutionize the way we capture memories. This immersive experience, designed by photographer Amanda Macchia, transforms the traditional photo booth into an art gallery-meets-photo studio. Located at Bow Market in Somerville, the 9-by-18-foot space is a vibrant, color-drenched wonderland. With a custom mural by Lindsey Parker and a fiber arts piece by Quintin Marcus, it's like stepping into a rainbow. But what makes Saturated truly unique is its inclusive approach. It's not just for couples or families; it's for everyone, including pets! Macchia's vision is to create a joyful, editorialized photo booth experience, accessible to all. By offering pre-booked sessions, walk-ins, and private rentals, Saturated aims to make professional photography affordable and fun. The pop-up's theme is Pride, but it's open to everyone, inviting everyone to join in the celebration. The cost of $50 for a 30-minute session includes five professionally edited digital images and a Polaroid, making it an affordable way to capture memories. Macchia's passion project is not about profit; it's about creating a beautiful space for people to have a joyful moment. To celebrate Pride, Saturated is partnering with Bow Market's micro-wedding chapel, Dearly Studio, to give away free ceremonies and photo sessions to three LGBTQIA2S+ couples. This initiative highlights Macchia's commitment to inclusivity and community. Saturated is open from noon to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays, running through June. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to capture memories in a unique and colorful way. So, get ready to step into a rainbow and embrace the joy of Saturated!
