It’s the concert event of the year, it’s coming to the Opera House in Wellington this September for a limited season and Photo Booth Fun will be there to capture the excitement!
If you like the songs and spectacle of the popular TV series glee, you are going to love the gleevent. This show is a high energy celebration of music and dance from the producers of Miss Saigon, Cats and High School Musical. The show features an exciting range of songs and includes something for everyone in the family. Witness some of your all-time favourite songs by Madonna, Adam Lambert, Queen, Neil Diamond, Lady Gaga and many more live on stage in the gleevent.
Breathtaking music, song and choreography combine to form this spectacular concert experience featuring dynamic staging, incredible lighting and superb technical effects, all while showcasing some of New Zealand’s most talented young performers.
It’s the gleevent. It will blow the roof off the Opera House this September. Don’t miss it!

Buck’s and Hen’s Night Ideas
Posted by Brett in Packages, Photo Booth, Tips, Weddings on September 19th, 2010
With the wedding season ramping up soon, we thought it might be a good time to jot down some cool ideas we’ve see around for Hen’s and Buck’s nights:
Cooking Classes
Nothing better than being in the kitchen with a class of red and making a mess with friends, so why not make a night of it. There’s quite a few places out there that offer packages for classes and the range of food is amazing.
A Photo Booth (of course!)
We’ve been getting a few bookings lately for Hen’s nights and a photo booth is a prefect way to document the start of your night on the town. Our kiosk booth is perfect for making a customised background and getting all the ladies in for some great group shots or the boys around for some male bonding (trousers on please lads!). Combine it with a package from Party Specialists like Kahvort and you’ll have it all in the one place!
Adventure Activities
Not strictly for the boys, but an afternoon of quad-biking is sure to build up a thirst for a few beers with the groom-to-be. Companies like FreemanX can sort you our for a day to be remembered (Those bruises are not going to fade quickly!) and our favourite would be sprint car racing!
Makeover and Pinup Photo Shoot
More for the ladies, the lovely people at Pretty Pictures have a great “Going to the Chapel” package which is designed for your hen’s night. It includes full professional hair and make up, retro pinup or burlesque costumes, professional photography and of course bubbles to get you all in to the mood. Complete the night with some Burlesque lesson’s from the likes of Venus Love or Miss La Belle!
Weather-proof photo booth?

I think not, but this is what we should have built considering the current Australia Sized Storm floating over the country and the fact that we will be operating our Wellington Photo Booth outside at the Kapiti Karnival this Saturday from 11am.
It’s on rain or shine at the Paraparaumu Beach School, Gray Avenue, so come on down and have some fun watching us keep the booth on the ground!
Kiwibank’s 8th Birthday Bash
Posted by Brett in Corporate, Packages, Photo Booth on September 6th, 2010
Taking the Photo Booths to corporate gigs can go either way: Sometimes the guests are a bit timid and take a while to warm up to the addictive fun that is the booth, and other times you have to move out of the way as the masses run towards you.
Kiwibank’s 8th Birthday was the latter!
Our highly trained Booth Technician Patrick was fearing for his life as the reveller’s lined up to have their 4 shots of fame and boy did we get some priceless shots!
Pity the fool… who didn’t get dressed up! Over 600 people and only a few didn’t join in.
Lots of pirates for some reason, the $2 Shop must have made a mint!
Some great costumes!
…and some strangeness! Don’t have a date for the ball? Take your self!
Thank you Kiwibank, we will party with you any time!

We had a great day running the booth for the kids at Massey Uni’s Open Day last week. We had a cue running down the hall all day!

Photo Booth Fun Update
Posted by Brett in Packages, Photo Booth on August 30th, 2010
Wow, how time flies! It’s been just over a year since we ran our very first photobooth at a party in Wellington and so much has changed.
We’ve run booths all over the North Island (even in Australia!) and we now have a very successful business supplying New Zealand party-goers with their high grade booth fix on a weekly basis.
Our empire expanded over that first year and is continuing to do so, covering the whole North Island (including Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga, Hawkes Bay). We’re struggling to keep up!
Here’s to the next year and beyond.
Photo Booth Fun
Posted by Brett in Packages, Photo Booth on December 16th, 2009
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here and I’ve got lots of things to share but just like the Mechanic’s car, a photographer’s blog is always the last thing to be updated in a busy time.
I’ll be posting a lot more over the next few weeks as things slow down for the holidays so stay tuned, but first up is some news about our Photo Booth!
A photo booth is a great way to give your party guests a way to get some fun shots with out the hassle of a photographer getting in the way of the spontaneity.
Guests just hit a button on the booth and after a short countdown it takes 4 shots in a row and prints out the results, which are mostly hilarious!
It’s amazing how relaxed people get when no one is watching 
When you hire the booth you also get a whiteboard and markers to write messages, and some dress up items to get that creativity flowing.
The photo booth can print out as many copies as you like so you can give one to the guests and keep one for yourself. It also saves the images to disc so you can view them after the event or create an album.
