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!!

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!

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!

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

What some of our crew get up to when they’re not rocking a booth!

Two of our Waikato team member’s have just finished a busy season working on the television series Spartacus:War of the Damned.

Our operator Joe has spent a good part of 2012 starting at 4.00am; the obligatory make-up process of tanning and dirt; long days on set fighting, sitting, running, cheering, yelling; being covered in fake blood and sweat – all to be one of Spartacus’ rebel army.

Manager Carmen has been full-time on all four seasons of the series as a make-up, hair and spfx artist… and she has the t-shirt to prove it!   By all accounts this season (the final) will be epic and fans of the show will not be disappointed.

Yes we do it all at Photo Booth Fun, and the last couple of months in Hawkes Bay has seen some classics. From Toffee Apples & Candyfloss at the NCF Spring Carnival to some fun and shenanigans at Zak’s 30th. From an African themed anniversary party to a pranking bride’s mum.

We also had a blast at the Radio Network’s Hawkes Bay Special Children’s Christmas Party – I know Christmas is nearly here! If you’re planning a Christmas event get a Photo Booth in there and some extra Fun! Fun! FUN!

And I just had to put in some shots from Sunday’s “Love is Sweet” wedding at the beautiful Mission Estate Winery. What a great wedding – great people, great dresses, and some really great ink! Thanks for inviting us to be a part of your special day guys.

So whatever your special day is, it’s always more Fun with a Photo Booth from the team at PBF so give us a call and set it up… you know you want to…

Wedding season is in full swing, and the Waikato must be popular, as this month the Waikato and Bay of Plenty PBF team had the honour of attending our Auckland and Tauranga wedding expo prize winner’s receptions.

Firstly a great night with Chris & Gemma, our Tauranga wedding expo winners, at their Blonde Restaurant reception in Whitianga.

And the next day we had a fun, boisterous (and did I mention FUN) bunch of Aucklanders and South Africans for Royden and Louise’s pre wedding reception drinks at the amazing Ag Heritage Village at Mystery Creek.

 

Remember that the Waikato and Bay of Plenty team are part of a national group of fun and zany photo booth professionals. Our booth will be shipped to Queenstown for a weekend of bookings later this month, and next month we’ll be on the road for an event in Hawera.  So no matter where you are in New Zealand, as long as there is power supply and trolley access, if you want to book a booth for your event we can be there!
