It’s been a busy busy time for Photo Booth Fun in the world’s coolest little capital.

With the weather being a record-breaking amazing, everyone is getting out and about.  There have been lots of fantastic fairs and expos on and Photo Booth Fun has been there to capture the joy.

We had a blast by the seaside at the Island bay Festival where Photo Booth Fun teamed up with the fantastic Costume Cave. Festival goers were able to dress up in an amazing selection 1920’s and 30’s costumes and get their photo taken in the booth. Loads of Fun!! Have a look!!

20130127_150825At the North City Wedding Expo in Porirua we got to meet so many lovely ‘about to be newly-weds’ . Nothing like a sunny day and lots of loved up couples to make you feel all sentimental. I hope that everyone who wanted to try out the photo booth managed to. Check out the fun shots in our online gallery!!

Photo Booth Fun was a hit at the St Anthony’s school Bazaar in Seatoun. Kids just love hanging out in the photobooth and for us it is always so much fun to be outside in the sunshine with so many happy people.IMG_0139

Fingers crossed this weather keeps up coz ” YA CAN’T BEAT WELLINGTON ON A GOOD DAY” !!

Yes that’s right, Photo Booth Fun’s Christchurch branch marked one year in operation at the start of February and what do you think we’ve been doing to celebrate? Weddings, weddings and more weddings!

Our second year in the South Island started with some lovely celebrations – Not only at some of the fantastic local venues around Christchurch, but we also got to travel a bit further for a few weddings.

Travelling out of Christchurch, we were pleased to take our booth to picturesque Geraldine for a fab wedding at StoneBridge – A very impressive venue, perfect for weddings, conferences, work parties – You name it! Carmel and the team were super friendly and helpful and the guests had loads of fun in the booth.

A new (for us) local venue we got to check out last week was the beautifully located Living Springs.  Situated overlooking Lyttleton Harbour, the view is a must see. And they’re not just a wedding venue – They’re also a great choice for corporate and/or training events. With the wonderful work of Denis, Rose and all of the lovely staff, on-site catering and accommodation and Photo Booth Fun just a phone call away, you’re looking at a prize spot for your next big event!

 

We had a wonderful first year and got to take the photo booth to so many cool locations – From as far south as The Catlins to all around Otago and Canterbury. We always love taking the booth to new spots and as we’re happy to service anywhere in the South Island, the team are looking forward to some more visits further afield as our second year here progresses.

 

 

This week we’re taking the booth back to Ashburton for the second Friday in a row and then down to Oamaru the following week.. Start how you mean to continue is my new motto so bring on year two!

2013 Auckland Wish List

0 Comments

Posted by , in Photo Booth

It’s hard to believe the first month of 2013 is almost over and we haven’t shared our New Year’s resolutions with you!

In 2012 we had so many NZ celebs grace us with their presence in our booth, during some of the wonderful functions we attended in Auckland last year we decided this year we’d aim to see some international celebs!

These are the top five people we’d love to see in our booth this year…

  • 1.       President Obama

We’ve met John Key a couple of times in 2012 and politically speaking he’s about as big as it gets in NZ so this year we’d love to meet the Commander in Chief!

  • 2.       Kim Dot Com

We’ve heard he throws an awesome party!!

  • 3.       Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

I read somewhere that their wedding could cost US$10 million – who wouldn’t want to attend that shindig?!!!  Perhaps we could arrange some gold and diamond encrusted photo strips??

  • 4.       One Direction

We’ve never had a boy band in our Auckland booth and as the mother of two boys I can honestly say the only thing cuter than a photo of two boys is.. a photo of five boys!!

  • 5.       Big Foot.  Aka Sasquatch.  Aka The Abominable Snowman

Loads of people have seen him but none have taken a decent picture.  Wouldn’t it be awesome if the first photo of this mystic beast was in one of our booths…

So that’s the Auckland wish list for 2013 – my mother always told me dreams were free!

If a photo booth is on your wish list for this year but you want to know more, come and visit us at this year’s Grand Wedding Show on Sunday 14th April (tickets available at www.weddingshow.co.nz).

 

Here are the Auckland staff thinking about having their photo taken with Big Foot….

 


Picture Perfect Timing in Wellington

Posted by , in Packages, Photo Booth, Tips, Weddings

Wedding season is in full swing in the Wellington region and as everyone planning a wedding knows,timing can mean everything. Capturing that perfect moment, the big day running smoothly, happy guests and a relaxed sweet ArohaDarren and Joybride and groom.

At Photo Booth Fun Wellington we love a well timed photo. The booth is great for getting shots of your guests at their
relaxed and silly best, and a well timed strip of photos can be priceless. We have been seeing some very creative shots
lately. It is great to see what your friends and family come up with. Guests can put together an album of photos for you to
enjoy later, or go with an private online gallery to share the hilarity with everyone.

Having a photobooth running at the right time in your wedding can  be just the thing to make yours a wedding to remember. You can bring it in after the ceremony – while you are getting your photos done, your guests can be entertained creating their own masterpieces. Introduce the booth after dinner and the formalities are out of the way, help your guests switch into party mode with a round or two in the photo booth; or have the photobooth for a whole evening of creative entertainment.

Whatever you choose, capture those picture perfect moments With Photo Booth Fun!

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!!

Christchurch – A look back at 2012

Posted by , in Christchurch, Corporate, Dunedin, Events

Wow, hard to believe it’s a new year already! It’s been such a great experience so far in Christchurch, bring on the fun for 2013!

 

We saw all manner of events throughout 2012 and enjoyed them all: School balls, product launches, graduation celebrations, Halloween festivities, company parties, jubilees, orientation madness, conferences and Christmas parties.. Phew!

 

Not to mention the many birthday celebrations, from 21sts to 90ths and most milestones in between. The photo booth is such a great way to add that extra something to your party – Even the most sceptical party goers are addicts by the night’s end (with a fat wad of photo strips in their pocket to keep for later laughs!).

 

And of course, we’ve had lots of wonderful weddings at some amazing venues around Canterbury – There’s been some spectacular scenery so far and I look forward to seeing more this year – And not only Canterbury; we’ve got a lot of trips to look forward to this summer, taking our fun along to weddings in Otago and all over the South Island. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of seeing the laughing faces of guests spilling from the booth, redoubling their mirth when they see the printed strip – It’s excellent!

 

One of the real privileges for me so far has been being able to be part of some of the fantastic local events that are helping to lift the spirits and keep the people and communities of Christchurch going. There’s such an effort to not just keep on keeping on but to get out and really enjoy what’s on offer, it’s very inspiring.

 

Fundraisers have also been hugely rewarding for the Canterbury team and I hope we can continue to help bring some fun and funds to some more worthwhile causes throughout 2013. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have a fundraiser you’d like some help with, we’re always keen to get involved!

 

Here’s to another fun and fabulous year with the Christchurch Photo Booth Fun team!

Cheers

Summer Time In Christchurch…

Ok, I don’t want to tempt fate here, but it is a beaut day outside, over the weekend the smell of barbeques and freshly mowed lawns filled the air, Christchurch residents were daring to bare their pasty winter pins as shorts and jandals came out out in force and people got up and out to enjoy the weather – A hopeful but tentative nod to summer, full of good feeling and camaraderie.

I know I’m looking forward to the many festive activities that are on offer this season: There’s shopping at  some of the fantastic markets, choirs and carol singing,  Christmas on Latimer (next weekend I’m going to take advantage of those very inviting beanbags) and lots of local community Christmas celebrations. A lot of Cantabrians still have so much to cope with so hopefully some of what’s on offer can provide a bit of well deserved respite and enjoyment.

We’ve been busy sharing in the festive feelings and joining some wonderful celebrations. At the end of November we were honoured to be a part of the Radio Network’s Special Children’s Christmas Party – What a brilliant day for some lovely kids and families.

And of course we’re all now getting ready for Christmas, Planning and shopping, shopping and planning! The company Xmas parties are happening right up until the eleventh hour which makes us happy; Nothing brings on the festive mood like encouraging a load of revellers dressed in Christmas getup into the photo booth for much merriment and laughter.

So wishing you all a very merry Christmas from the Christchurch Photo Booth Fun team – I’m off to enjoy the sunshine!

Cheers!

I’m Glad it Doesn’t Say “Photo Booth Serious”..!

I mean where would be the FUN in that right..?!?!?!?! And Hawkes Bay, in fact New Zealand, knows how to have FUN!!!

Here’s just a few FUN shots from inside the Booth – “because people do the funniest things when they think no one’s watching…”

I love it when people go in to the booth for the first time, not really knowing what to expect, then the first photo shows on the screen and the giggles start (or manly guffaws of course) and they come out beaming saying “that is SO awesome” and then you can’t get them out of the booth for the rest of the night!

I love it that adults seem to enjoy dressing up more now than when they were kids. I mean where else could you put on a bright purple wig, pointy ears and a pair of huge glasses and it’s not only regarded as normal but you’re encouraged to put on a silly hat or a fake beard to make the outfit complete?!

We love getting our photo booths into all sorts of different places around Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, actually the whole greater Hawkes Bay area, whether it’s a winery or function centre or just someone’s back yard, because we know how much people love having Photo Booth FUN.

Even the event staff can’t resist it… I hope we’re not interfering with your work there people..? Oh no, it’s ok, there’s the boss in there too…

So here’s the thing… DON’T EVER STOP HAVING FUN..! Life’s just too short and there are way too many of serious things going on to drag you down if you let them. But whether it’s a wedding, a party, a corporate function or conference, or just a good old fashioned get together, you can get some real FUN back in your life if you call the FUN people at Photo Booth FUN… the company dedicated to raising the spirits of the whole country, one silly photo at a time! Have a FUN summer everyone!


Where has 2012 gone I ask?

For us here in Auckland it’s been a year of celebrations as we moved house, quadrupled our office space, saw more booths enter our “fleet”(and more booth operators!) and welcomed our second son and future operator into the family – whoa – what a year!

December will be our busiest month to date with our operators working hard to provide the fun factor at many a corporate Christmas party, birthday and summer wedding.

We are excited about having our booth at Parakai Hot Pools for a Christmas Party (yes, our booths can operate outdoors!) and at The Cloud – the last time we were there we were celebrating Rugby World Cup victory!!

Last month saw some interesting characters pass through our booth.  Mr John Key was snapped for the second time in our booth and Bubba and his friends went barking mad at his birthday party.  Yes, Bubba is a dog and yes, the booth was at his birthday party!  Just goes to show we can cater for all types of people and all types of functions at all types of venues!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and fan’s – may 2013 be as amazing as 2012!

Suze and Eden

 

 

 

 


News from Christchurch

Wow, it’s been a fair while since I’ve piped up with news of Christchurch – Things have been getting pretty busy as not only is wedding season in full swing but Christmas is just around the corner (yikes – who’s done their shopping? – Not me!) and the photo booth is a superb hit for the company Xmas party. Especially fun when you add props to the mix!

 

And here’s a little known fact: There is a strong correlation between broken photocopiers and an absence of Photo Booth Fun at office Christmas parties.

 

 

 

 

We’ve also seen fundraisers, graduation parties, fantastic Halloween festivities and the Melbourne cup celebrated with style. We’ve been to some great venues around Chch and Canterbury and we even made it to Queenstown for the Accountants’ Big Day Out, thanks to the talented people at CCH Business Fitness – Anyone who reckons accountants don’t know how to have fun – We’ve got the pictures to prove otherwise (and the photobooth never lies!).

 

We’re looking forward to the Radio Network’s Special Children’s Christmas Party this weekend, a lot of fun for some well deserving kids. Not to mention a few more Christmas parties and weddings –  It should be a good one!

 

Cheers, Michaela
