Al Fresco Photo Booth

There she is! A Photo Booth standing majestically in the great outdoors – not necessarily what you would think is its natural habitat. But it can be.

Especially during the summer, having a Photo Booth outdoors can be a great option. Not only does it mean that you can have it at your garden wedding but it also means that you can have your photos against a wonderful natural backdrop and not just inside the black curtains. Pull the curtains back (or get them removed entirely) and you can use nature as your backdrop and even have large groups pose a little further away so you can get 20 or more people in your strip!

But, like every other part of an outdoor wedding, there are some things to consider:

  • Can we get power to the location you’ve chosen for the booth? We come with 10 metres of extension cord but your venue may be able to supply more.
  • Is the terrain suitable? The booth needs a bit of good, flat ground.
  • How breezy is it likely to be? If you’ve chosen a bit of a wind tunnel to put the booth in remember fluttering curtains can be a bit annoying. Like many things at a wedding a bit of tape can fix that but it pays to think about.
  • Where’s the sun going to be? When your booth is up and taking photos you want the natural light to be good. The dappled shadows from a tree may make for nice ambience but terrible photos!
  • Like everything else in an outdoor event – do you have an emergency indoor site if things go bad weather wise?

Having a photo booth outside is a great way to have even more fun in the sun. Think about it for your next event and get our booths into the great outdoors!

Being the Regional Manager for Hawkes Bay, co-ordinating and working at awesome events and celebrations in Napier, Hastings, Havelock North and the greater Hawkes Bay area (even in Taupo, Palmerston North, Gisborne and beyond) is so much fun! But I have to say, one of my favourite jobs I do for the Photo Booth Fun team is designing the custom overlays;overlay-Ball-1taking the designs and ideas that you’ve worked on for your wedding or party or corporate eventoverlay-Comm-1and designing a strip look to match or compliment those ideas so your event is even more awesome. overlay-wed-2So I thought I’d take some of my favourite designs from last yearoverlay-Corp-1and put them together in a gallery to give you some ideas of what we can do and maybe inspire youoverlay-Corp-2for your event this year to enhance your Photo Booth Fun booking with a custom strip design.overlay-Party-1Take a closer look on our Facebook Gallery here  overlay-wed-1  Now let me know what I can do for you..

Happy New Year! We hope you all had an amazing festive season and an unforgettable New Year!

The Taranaki Photo Booth Fun team are so excited about what 2014 means for us! When we look through our calendar we see many weddings at some very cool venues from here to Wanganui (yes we cover Wanganui too)!!  We also see some great functions and events that look like they are going to be awesome! The good news is we love what we do and would work every day if we could so yes there are still dates available and we would love to hear from you! We’re sure that all 2014 events are going to rock but they will rock just that little bit more with Photo Booth Fun there – we know this because we are always receiving beautiful feedback!

“This booth is soooo much fun”

“This is so cool  – all events should have them”

“I love that we have a booth in New Plymouth now”

“Our guests are loving this – We just became weddings of the year right here”

“Other than my wedding dress this is my favourite thing about my wedding”

And our all-time favourites “ WOW these photos are such awesome quality! I look so good in these photos” and “I can’t get over these photos are you sure there is not a photographer in that booth”!

We can’t get enough of the Photo Booth love!

If you haven’t already booked us now is the time – go on give us a call! You will LOVE it!

And while you are making that call check out Jaylene the stunning bride at our very first 2014 event! Congratulations Mr & Mrs Baker!

A great end to 2013

Happy New Year everyone – Yep, the year has flown by and we’ve had a ball (and attended a quite a few as well!). Congratulations to our first South Island happy couples for 2014, Lee and Natalie, and James and Julia. Both couples wed on the 4th Jan in scenic South Canterbury and we were quite happy to kick of 2014 in such beaut locations :)

The Christchurch team had a fabulous time with the photo booth over the Christmas period – We had balls, weddings, company Xmas dos,  festive carol evenings and we were even lucky enough to bring our special brand of fun along to the Child Cancer Foundation’s 2013 Christmas party – And who did we have trying out props and striking poses with the best of them but my favourite Crusader and All Black, Kieran Read – Of course, lots of people wanted photos with him!  Now  as we all know, having a turn or two in the booth is not exactly a hard task, but what a good sport (excuse the pun)! Although, this champ didn’t come close to beating some of our bride’s records for longest non-stop stint in the booth!

I’m looking forward to what 2014 has to offer – We’re full swing into wedding season now so bring it on!

Cheers

It’s A&P Show time in Taranaki!

0 Comments

Posted by Taranaki, in Events, Photo Booth, Taranaki

The A & P Show is a bit of a major for the rural community! The Egmont Agricultural & Pastoral Association has been established in Hawera since 1883 so it is fair to say it is well and truly part of the Hawera and wider Taranaki community.

This year the show will be held on the 15th and 16th of November and will have the very cool theme of Music Madness! Photo Booth Fun will be joining in the madness in the Kidzone – we can’t wait!

The show hosts a large trade area showcasing local and out of town businesses, entertainment, cattle, equestrian events, rides, live music and so so so much more…and let’s not forget our awesome photo booth!

The A & P Show really is so much fun for the whole family – I mean really who doesn’t love animals and rides! The Taranaki team would love to see you and the kids in our booth so come and see us!

How many people can you fit in the Photo Booth..?

Tagged as Fun, Hastings, Hawkes Bay, Napier, Party, Photo Booth, Photo Booth Fun, Photobooth, Wedding

This is a question we get asked quite a bit, usually by people wanting to fit like 5 or 6 people in. Usually we laugh at this as, being a Nationwide company, it is the source of a fair bit of competition around the country.

So how many do you think..? is it 8..? nah that’s easy… T131006-501what about 9..?IMG_0273or 10 maybe..?IMG_0484Actually given that all 3 of these shots were taken at the Gymsports National Championships this month in Hawkes Bay I’d say that’s getting pretty easy too.

The record up until this weekend was 13 set in the Hawkes Bay Booth last year (and I believe equalled in other regions since) I say up until this weekend because I believe this one taken in Hastings last night smashes it out of the park!T131019-501I’ll leave the counting to you but I have to say it’s a pretty impressive effort and once again set in the Hawkes Bay booth. So if you want record breaking fun call us on 0800 FOTO BOOTH (0800 368 626) and lets get the party started…

I think this one’s going to take some breaking but let’s have some fun trying!

Gatsby Galore in Christchurch!

0 Comments

Posted by David, in Christchurch, Events, Photo Booth

 

What ho!

Feeling like a cancelled stamp, a milquetoast? – Why that’s probably because you missed Gatsby’s Great Snow Ball this weekend – Held at the transitional Cathedral (I can’t believe it’s really a cardboard cathedral!), what a berries night! Organised by the Canterbury’s ski clubs, the 20s themed ball raised money for the Westpac Helicopter and the organisers did a Pos-i-lute-ly ducky job, raising $12,000 and giving everyone a night to remember to boot!

Helping to solidify those memories was our photo booth; We had a swell time – such hotsy totsy outfits, such fab poses, such glam!

Pos-i-tively darb darling!

 

So if you wanna stay hip to the jive, you’d better get yourself along to the next fab charity ball in Christchurch: The Great Pink Gatsby – This Fundraiser for Shocking Pink will transport you to the roaring 20s and put on a party to rival Gatsby’s finest! And our photobooth will be there to snap you in all your dudded up finery!

The lovely women at Shocking Pink really know their onions – So don’t be a bluenose, break out the mazuma, get dolled up, leave Mrs Grundy at home and ankle on down to this sockdollager – It will be the cat’s meow!

 

Ta ta til then

 

Michaela

Manager – Christchurch

You can also sponsor us to appear at charity events – we’ll brand our photo strips accordingly and provide great staff in attendance.

Canterbury Spring – Off to a good start!

0 Comments

Posted by David, in Christchurch, Events, Marketing, Photo Booth

 

Is anyone else out there glad it’s spring? The blossoms are out in force in Christchurch (so pretty!) and the Photo Booth Fun team are certainly happy to say bye to winter!

The start of  September saw us taking the photo booth on its first ever Gondola ride – We were at the Vero Marine Division’s 20th anniversary party up the top of The Christchurch Gondola and I’ve gotta say, that’s the best way I’ve ever travelled to an event! Such an incredible view and such a fun night. Another fabulous party organised by the talented team at Madant – They take having fun very seriously:

It takes a lot of effort to look this serious in one of our booths

                                                  ——————————————————————–

Now unless you’re in the know with the PBF team, you are probably unaware that our lovely booth attendant, Emily, is a very on the ball student and a part of the Future Leader Scholars at Lincoln University . This team created the the amazing Lend A Hand charity group:

As a result of the 2011 earthquake, the team of scholars established an annual event to give back to the community. Every year they come up with a novel means of raising money for a charity in need.

And this year, on the 27th September, we get to be a part of the action at the Lend a Hand Charity Evening. The event is aimed at raising awareness and funds for Youthline Canterbury and they have a fantastic night lined up (even on top of the photobooth!).  Tickets are selling quick so get on in and support a good cause!

 

Merry Springtime everyone :)

Michaela

Manager – Christchurch
