Some things to do with a Photobooth

IMG_0330We are in the middle of a busy wedding season in Wellington and coming hot off the heels of Christmas party season. These events are places where you are most likely to find a photo booth but there are all sorts of other occasions that we show up to that might give you some ideas for your next event.

Birthday parties are always a fun celebration to add a photobooth to and we are also able to lower our booths to kid height just for kid’s parties. How about a photobooth at your anniversary? If they’re good enough for weddings why not the anniversary of one? We also love having booths at openings – the photo above was taken at a pet store opening and its a great way to send people away with a reminder that your store has opened up in their area.

How about get a booth along for your conference, maybe at the dinner to loosen everyone up before the dance floor gets into swing. Or maybe for a promotional activity? Sure we’ve provided booths for the ABs and Coca Cola (up in Auckland anyway) but that doesn’t mean we can’t come up with something to fit your promotional budget.

And we’re always open to hearing about using our photobooths at your fundraisers – school fairs, charity dinners, whatever. If we are able to help out we’d love to. You can use the booth to collect gold coin donations or just to provide a fun record of your fundraiser. The possibilities for booth use are endless – get in touch with us to talk about it!

North City Wedding Expo here we come!

IMG_0275The North City Wedding Expo is almost upon us Wellingtonians!

And its a great way to find everything you need for a wedding all under one roof – especially your booth! We’ve said it before but it bears repeating – you try out lots of other things that go into your wedding (even your future spouse!) so you really should get your props on and get into one of our booths. Its a great way to get in some wedding day kiss practice and we know this because trying to find a photo from last year’s expo that didn’t involve a lip-locked couple was no easy task!

If you haven’rt already sent out invites or other details about your wedding hold onto those strips you get from the booth because with a little scanning and some creativity you could have some really fun images!

We’ve talked about how much we enjoy these expos before and its true – they really are a great way to meet brides, grooms and families and start the process of creating memories. So come along to the Te Raupararaha Arena in Porirua on 24 January and come give our fantastic booth a trial run!

Christmas time is booth time

Wellington Photobooth

 

We love Photo Booth Christmases in Wellington! Because the booth is the perfect place for workmates to come together and let off steam without having to hit the dance floor. And the best thing of all it leaves people with a memory from the night. Once upon a time all the memories you got from the office Christmas Party were when someone sat on the photocopier and made 20 A4 copies of their backside. But throw in a Christmas props box and a photo booth and now you can have all sorts of memories that last beyond the night.

Its always great fun to see the pictures following a Christmas Party where all sorts of people, regardless of where they sit on the corporate ladder or what they do for the rest of the year act a little silly and have fun. A photo booth also allows those people who don’t drink or can’t drink on the night to relax and do something a little wild. The curtain truly does give people license to let their hair down and like we always say, “People do the funniest things when they think no-one is watching”.

So check and see if there are still spots left Wellington. And if we can’t fit you in for 2015 then book now for 2016. A year isn’t too long for an advance booking.

Have a Merry Christmas from the Wellington team!

Always work with children and animals!

Someone is a bit more convinced than the other here

There is the old showbiz adage that states you should never work with children or animals. At Photobooth Fun we say to heck with that! Some of the most awesome moments in a photobooth can be provided by our little friends (of either 2 or 4 legs).

Dog in a PhotoboothIn October both children and animals came together in fantastic fashion when the Wellington team helped the Pet Centre out for two days for the grand opening of their Lyall Bay store. We had families, kids, bunnies, puppies, older dogs and even an 85kg St. Bernard in the booth! Some folks even came back with more family, friends and pets the second day!

Its the great thing about a photobooth for a function – everyone loves them. And more importantly we can even make sure that all your guests, furry or otherwise, can have a turn. If you’ve got a lot of kids or pets at your function let us know because we can give you some advice about the best set up to make sure that everyone has a chance to make great memories in the booth.

Showing Wellington

We get all sorts of things in the booth in Wellington and now we can add actual muppets to the list!

We were at the 2015 Show Me Wellington Conference Expo early last month where we had a great time showing the booth off to hundreds of potential corporate hirers. It was great to get a whole different bunch of people through the booth and get them to have a play with our new social media uploader. With this new feature your guests can now use a tablet, linked wirelessly to the booth, to select and upload their pictures to Facebook and Twitter – straight away from whatever function they might be at.

We also had a whole heap of fantastic comments from people who had never experienced a Photobooth Fun booth before. They really liked:

  • the quality of the prints
  • our custom photo strip
  • the fact that booth guests can see the photo on the booth screen just after its been taken
  • how compact and classy our booth looked.

So we are hoping that this little taste has whetted their appetites and we might see a few familiar faces in the booth come Christmas Party time.

The Team that Booths together stays together

Tagged as team-building

IMG_0144One of the things that I do, as the Wellington manager, is look back over the pictures taken in our booth from time to time. One of the things I’ve noticed recently is a lot of photos of teams of people, costumed the same, having a great time. That’s because Wellington businesses are catching on to the idea that Photo Booths aren’t just entirely “a little bit of fun” – they can have a purpose too.

When it comes to organising a team-building day having a photo booth in the mix can be a great way for the teams involved to document what’s going on in their own way without the “intrusion” of a regular photographer who can make some people feel self-conscious. A booth can either be there for teams to use at their whim or it can be built right in to the challenges. For example, if there was a wearable art challenge as part of a team build day part of the challenge could involve a photo shoot in a booth. Or a team could be instructed to tell a simple story through the four photos that make up a strip from the photo booth. There are a tonne of different ways that a booth could be integrated into your day and then it could be kept on for an entirely different reason if there is an evening function, especially if partners are involved.

We’ve got plenty of experience in how to make a photo booth a fun part of any sort of event you are organising so don’t hesitate to get in touch and pick our brains for ideas!

There is no substitute for trying something out in person and talking to someone live to help you make your decisions and wedding expos are a great way to do that. Luckily for Wellingtonians we will be in attendance at the Capital City Wedding Expo on Sunday 23 August.

We’ll have one of our awesome booths there, a box of props to play with and plenty of samples to take a look at on the day. Greg, our Regional Manager, will be there to field all questions and he’ll also have the diary there to check whether we can help you out on your special day. Greg has lots of cool ideas about things you can do with your booth as well so you can really get the most bang for your buck out of the booth. Speaking of bang for your buck we often run a special deal for people who visit us on the day as well so come along and sign up to be part of that.

We’ve also had people come, take a photo in the booth and use that strip to announce their engagement too so there’s added incentive to come along and check us out. See you there!

An old time concept at Oldtimers’ Day

Posted by Wellington, in Events, Photo Booth, Wellington

IMG_0112Don’t let the fierce face fool you – these guys were having fun!

In late June we were able to take the Wellington booth along to the Norths Rugby Club for their Oldtimers’ Day. It was a great time to be there because the club had been through a busy and emotional couple of weeks with the death of their club icon Jerry Collins. In a short period of time these amazing folk had helped to pull together a funeral and a march for Porirua’s favourite son. It was a real illustration of the community spirit in Porirua.

So when it came time to celebrate all their former players we set up a booth in the club for a couple of hours and had the full spread of club supporters through it – young and old, past players and future players all getting snapped in the booth. Thanks Norths for letting us be part of a cool occasion.

Great causes

The Wellington Photobooth has been out and about for some great causes in May.

First we ventured out onto the street to help out collectors for the Mary Potter Hospice appeal. This was the first time in recent memory we’ve had a booth actually out on the street – parked up just outside Unity Books on Willis St. It was great to see all the folk walk past and stop and look at the people inside the booth and even if everyone didn’t venture inside it was a great way to grab a bit of attention on a chilly Wellington Friday. A big thanks to WCC and Unity Books for allowing it to happen.

The next day we headed out to one of the Pink Ribbon Breakfasts being held around the country to raise funds to fight breast cancer. Greg, our Wellington Manager bravely ventured into a breakfast jam-packed with Porirua ladies. Their initial disappointment that he wasn’t a stripper was replaced pretty quickly with laughter, giggles and a queue for the booth that stretched around the room.

A big thanks to all the lovely folk who used the booth and made generous donations and to the folks who got us involved in fun for great causes!

Wellington Autumn Wedding Show Sunday 17th May

Wellington Wedding Show

You get engaged to someone before you marry them so there’s nothing wrong with a little try before you buy!

Head down to the Wellington Wedding Show on Sunday 17th of May and pay Greg a visit on our stand. We’ll have a booth there to try out and Greg will be able to answer your questions (and there are none that are too silly to ask).

The other great thing about Wedding Shows is that we always have some sort of top secret deal in the mix. If you sign up for our mailing list we’ll be able to let you in on what that special will be after the expo is done and dusted. See you there!
