Photo booths are a great way to capture memories at a wedding, but, aside from the usual group photos, internet users have applauded one guest for what she did in front of the camera.
TikTok user @telchantel was attending a wedding when she spotted the photo booth set up in one area. She was sure to get some memorable pictures in her dress and with all her glam done, but, of course, she had something else in mind as well.
Not wanting to miss an opportunity, @telchantel from New York also realized she needed a new LinkedIn photo, and this was the perfect chance to get one. Indeed, to make it look extra professional, she borrowed her husband’s gray suit jacket to put over her dress and take her outfit from party ready to business casual.
She couldn’t resist sharing her genius hack on TikTok, and the clip has gone viral online. In a matter of days, the video has generated more than 1.6 million views and over 147,000 likes on TikTok at the time of writing.
Newsweek has contacted @telchantel via TikTok for comment. We could not verify the details of the video.
The TikTok user has been hailed online for making the most out of the photo booth’s professional backdrop and perfect lighting. At the end of the TikTok video, @telchantel revealed the all-important black-and-white headshot she managed to capture.
The caption alongside the video jokes that “we love a resourceful queen.” She added that no one else was waiting for the photo booth at the time and it was “all good fun.”
In a follow-up video shared on TikTok, @telchantel said that her previous LinkedIn image was taken by a professional photographer, but she was “freshly postpartum in that photo.” Over the last year, she has spent so much time and energy focusing on herself, and for the first time in a while, she actually loved the pictures of herself taken in the photo booth.
So, that’s when she decided to get a new LinkedIn profile picture to mark the occasion. Who can blame her?
With over 175 comments on the viral TikTok video already, social-media users have lauded her genius idea and praised @telchantel for being so resourceful.
One comment on the post reads: “And that right there is what we call a business woman, friends.”
Another TikTok user wrote: “Yassss get our money’s worth.”
A third person joked: “Work smarter not harder.”
One commenter replied: “Are you JOKING! This queen deserves to be CEO with this idea!”
