Because people do the funniest things when they think no one's watching...

Ready set pose!

Probably the most discussed topic in the photo booth would have to be the pose of choice! Some boothers have it down to an art! They have a plan from start to finish before they even take one step into the booth…others prefer the ‘live in the moment’ technique. Either way getting that perfect pose is all part of the fun! 2013-11-30 20-06-27 IMG_0139IMG_0290

We have noticed a few trends when it comes to photo booth poses…there is the tried and true tongue out, or total look of surprise! (Sometime in the same photo when someone’s tongue accidentally connects with some else’s cheek)! And we can’t forget the pouty face, peace sign, Charlie’s Angels pose (this seems to require a surprising amount of coordination), duck face, hugs, smiles, pointing at one another and awwww the kiss! There are a few more that come to mind but I’m not sure they are blog appropriate so I will let you use your imagination for that!

IMG_0337No matter what pose you choose – it will be sure to have you in fits of laughter and that is what it is all about! Remember you are only limited by your imagination so I challenge you to come up with a new classic pose… One that we will remember for many gigs to come!

 


Oooh! I like that one..!

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!

Happy New Year from the Waikato, Bay of Plenty Photobooth Fun team!

We covered thousands of kilometers in 2013, being a part of people’s celebrations and it’s awesome that we’ve been to locations we’d never had been to if you hadn’t invited us. No two events were the same and we love that our beautiful country is full of thousands of fun kiwis – we’ve enjoyed meeting you all.

We hope 2014 will be as amazing for you as it looks like being for us. The summer calendar is filling fast but still lots of dates left so go. You’ll also see us at a lot of the international events so make sure you come and say “Hi” and get your groove on in the booth.

Here’s a beautiful fellow we’re looking forward to meeting at Balloons Over Waikato 2014..see you there!

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!

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

Michaela – Manager, Christchurch

Dedicated to making sure your event is fun, entertaining and an occasion that people will talk about for months! Check Ngaere from the Taranaki team out!

She has to be the perfect example of how far we will go for you! We are told Ngaere was up colouring her hair and painting her face at 5am for the Mad Music themed Hawera A&P Show – I think you will agree she really did make an awesome rock star!

We get to meet so many awesome people doing what we do – thank-you to all of you who have made us feel so at home at your events. And to those of you we have yet to meet we can’t wait to be a part of your next event – so what are you waiting for? Give us a call today :)

1, 2, 3 Kiss

123kiss

 

A veteran client pointed this out the other night – every third frame in a 4 frame strip with a couple has them kissing. At Photobooth Fun we thought we’d bring a bit of rigorous science to bear and so we checked some of our recent gigs and she was right!

Whether its a family kiss, a romantic kiss or a friendly one it takes until the third frame for people to get up the courage to do what they’ve secretly been wanting to do from the moment they stepped in the booth – plant a kiss on someone!

Rubbish you say!

Well the proof’s in the pudding (Christmas pudding at this time of the year). Why don’t you call us up, hire a booth and put the science to the test.

And get a smooch or two while you are at it!


It’s A&P Show time in 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 , , , , , , , ,

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!

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
