Ball season has started and we’ve come to realise that school students have the Three P’s perfected! Let’s take a look at some examples..

First up we have ‘Peace’, one of the most popular booth poses. The perfect last-minute pose if you have missed the 4… 3…. 2… and turn around to the number 1 appearing on the screen!

Next up is the Pout , well and truly perfected by high school students. This one can take a bit of practice, but once you’ve got it sorted you can’t go wrong with a good pout!

And finally we have the all round ‘Pose’. This can be anything from the Surprised Face… Fish Lips… Charlies Angels… Bunny Ears… Tongues out and if you’re lucky maybe even a peck on the cheek! (Bonus points for a variety!)

Whatever you decide to do in the booth, whether it’s spontaneous or pre-planned, the Photo Booth Fun staff love hearing all of the hysterical laughter coming from behind that curtain when you first see your captured photo!

If you’re looking to add that extra bit of fun to your school ball, contact us now to find out about our packages!

 

 

 


To prop or not to prop?!??

Here at Photo Booth Fun we see many things… we see many people laughing, many people planning the perfect pose,  many people giggling as they retrieve their photo strip – all and all we see a lot of people having fun! Part of that fun is deciding on which prop to where – there are so many choices, which one sums up you? which one is good for the laughs? which one is just the cutest? and then there is the question that often follows the complex prop decision ….do we even prop?

Truth is our booths are fun however you approach them, sometimes its nice to hide behind a prop …sometimes it is fun to go all out and crazy with the props and sometimes it is cool to just be you!

One of our Taranaki Managers Jordan and Operator Tess will now demonstrate a few proping options….

First up we have ‘The Prop’ classically done …. Jordan even has 2 props (FYI you can never have too many props)…

Nest up we have’The Half Prop’ this is great if you are not truly ready to commit to the full prop seen above, just grab one thing and you are away laughing…

And finally we have ‘The No Prop’ … here there are no props in action but as you can see Tess and Jordan don’t need a prop when they can pull classic photo booth facials like these…

So there you have it! It really doesn’t matter if you prop it or don’t prop it – it’s all about having fun and with Photo Booth Fun at your event that is exactly what you will do!

Call us today to get us along to your next event – you won’t regret it we promise xx

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!

The team at Photo Booth Fun would like to wish you all the very best for the holiday season! Though I’m writing this from Sunny Hawkes Bay I know all our staff from right around the country join with me in Merry Christmas

We’ve been involved in some awesome events this year in Hawkes Bay, from Weddings to 21st Parties, from 50th, 60th and 70th birthdays to the Special Children’s Extravaganza, from School Balls to  work conferences and functions and an amazing night at Christmas at the Park with Dave Dobbyn and 27000 guests I can honestly say it’s been a fantastic year for Napier, Hastings, Havelock North and the whole Hawkes Bay region!

And 2016 is looking to be even better! I look forward to our team coming to your special event and adding some extra photobooth fun!

Give us a call now!

Backdrop love – making it your own

Posted by , in Corporate, Events, Photo Booth, School Balls

We love the fact that our photo booths have a curtain that you can hide behind and get all crazy… but the fun doesn’t have to stop there!

For the more adventurous posers out there the curtain can be flung back to reveal all – posing with an audience can be just as fun! While a blank wall can be nice, a bit of DIY can take you booth experience up a notch – if you can fancy up the wall behind you or even find a fun and interesting wall you can give your guests the option to stay behind the curtain or have photos with a unique back drop or both!  – You can even add something to the existing curtain to make it your own – like Sam did for his Indian themed 50th, goodbye black curtain and hello blue sari.

On one of our all time faves…. Rosie sure knows how to make a stunning backdrop

This idea really got us thinking so off we went to search for some fun and different ideas that could inspire a curtain alternative …. remember you can keep the curtain on while still having a fabulous background on standby … we love what we found….have a look at these beauties and let your imagination go, we would love to see what you come up with!

Welcome to the end of June folks!

It has been a month of chilly weather here in the Bay of Plenty, in fact all over the country it has been freezing! I hope you’ve all kept safe, dry and warm over the last month, it’s sad to say but I think it’s only going to get colder!

With the cold weather there comes comfort in warming up with friends and family and reminiscing over fond memories. Memories are great, but can fade, so sometimes having a picture to renew those old feelings can be a valuable addition to any story or evening around the fireplace. Unfortunately some photos don’t stand the test of time, however some do. Like the high quality colour, or black and white prints from our Photo Booths.

We know that our equipment is top notch, and delivers exceptional results, consistently, that stand the test of time. Which given that you’re paying your hard earned money for our services, transforms the experience from a mere novelty, to a worthwhile investment in memories that can be drawn upon time and time again to provide cheer when the weather or other factors conspire to make the outlook gloomy.

We also have some pretty cool guys and girls working for us who don’t mind you and your guests cutting loose and having a great time. It’s of huge importance to us that every part of the Photo Booth Fun experience lives up to its name!

Just check out these images from our most recent event here in the Bay of Plenty to gain an insight into the sort of emotion that we can help you to take home in your pocket or bag, or custom guestbook, or frame, or custom memory stick, or custom envelope, or even in a private online gallery. We like to give you more than a couple of options!

There is something so exciting about repeat bookings! We love that we get to attend your events each year – it is always so nice to see you again!

Obviously repeat weddings wouldn’t be ideal, after all you aim to do those just the one time BUT school balls and corporate events are a different story! It really is the greatest compliment to ask us back for another of your events and it sure makes us feel all loved! A couple of weeks ago the Taranaki Team headed back to do another SHGC ball and like always it was an awesome evening! It seems people can just never have enough of Photo Booth Fun!

Thank-you for remembering us and our booth each time you plan your events, we can’t wait for the repeat Christmas bookings! If you haven’t had one of our booths before … well why not? Just kidding!! We will let you off this time but we would love to be involved with your next event – so give us a call and we can tell you all about what we do  – 0800 FOTO BOOTH
