Wellingtonians are passionate about our city and we don’t put up with a lot of stick from everyone else about our wind and rain. But let’s be honest – there is nothing like a day or two (or five or six) of sideways rain to break even the most passionate citizen of Wellington. And when you get broken by winter the grumps set in.

Just today Facebook has been alive with reports of an experiment that was run that basically shows the more negative and narky stuff in your Facebook feed the more narky and negative your posts become. So why not fight that fact with some fun posts of your own.

Luckily, even at your most depressed we can help you out – get a Photo Booth to your next function. Then your guests leave with a least 4 awesome, fun images they can scan and share and brighten up their news feeds. The good news is that whoever makes the booking also gets our USB stick crammed with all the shots taken in the booth that function. Perfect for sending to people, posting and tagging on Facebook, printing out and hanging on your wall or just generally having a good laugh about.

Guaranteed to brighten up both your Facebook and your day.

Photobooth Backdrop Ideas

Posted by , in Marketing, Photo Booth, Regions, Tips

Whilst our photobooths come with a black curtain to contain all the fun, sometimes it’s nice to open it all up and get creative. Creating your own backdrop is a snap and so long as you have a wall to attach it to you can make something that fits your theme and your personality!

We can help with printed backdrops if you have something specific in mind, but here’s some great background ideas that can be used with our photo booths, whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or corporate Christmas party.

1. Use bright paper fans to create a wall of pinwheels.

2014 is flying by as we hit the time of year where our summer brides are packing away their dresses into boxes, sending out thank-you cards and looking back through their Photo Booth Fun strips deciding which ones will be best for blackmail! …it is also the time of year when next season brides begin the exciting job of wedding planning wahoooo!

Having a photo booth at your wedding will make for an evening your guests will never forget as they place those beautifully customised photo strips proudly on the fridge to remind them just how much fun they had at your wedding!

The Taranaki team are huge fans of weddings and wedding planning which makes them super excited to be involved with 3 fabulous wedding events this month! We have lined up some very cool places to show off the booth to all soon-to-be brides, so come along and have a go!

We will start our wedding planning season at the South Taranaki Wedding Fair on Sunday May 18th followed by the Taranaki Weddings Mystery Bus Tour on Saturday May 24th and then the Taranaki Wedding and Events Expo on Sunday May 25th (by this time our team will probably be running on serious amounts of coffee but will still be super enthusiastic about promoting the booth and showing just how perfect it can make your event)!

We know you’d love a Photo Booth for your party but sometimes the costs start to add up and it’s hard to squeeze it into the budget along with the bar tab, the DJ and the all important party outfit.  Photobooth Fun provides a super-easy gift registry service that allows you to invite your family and friends to help you pay for the booth… after all they’ll be enjoying it too!

Not just for weddings, but for any occasion where our photo booth is a must have – great for 21st birthdays when you don’t have a lot to spend, 40th birthdays, when you’ve already got it all or even for sports teams and schools where resources can be a little tight.

Make your enquiry with our admin superstar Suze and she’ll talk you through the no fuss process.

We know you go to the coolest school I town, we know it’s way better than that other school on the other side of town – the one you beat at every sports day and the one that has the really uncool uniform BUT do you know how you could really show them that your school is way more awesome than theirs?

Awesomeresize

Have a Photo Booth Fun photo booth at your school ball – it’s that easy! Have one of our booths and you will secure your place as the best, most coolest school in town and you will have an AMAZING time! I ask you what is the point in spending all that money of the perfect dress, hair and make-up or that amazing suit and tie  if you can’t capture it all in one of our booths to keep forever!

So tell all your friends to get in touch with our team to get a booth at your ball before that other school gets in first!

OMG this is totes going to be awesome!


Photo Booths, Art & Andy Warhol

Did you know that the incomparable Andy Warhol used photo booth photos to create his candy coloured pop art?  The iconic portraiture photography and silk screen print combination was so revolutionary, many in the art world dubbed it “art’s most radical change since cubism.”

Photo booth Pop Art

We like to think that when our photo booth’s are at your event, we’re creating little works of art of you and your guests. The autonomous nature of the photo booth that fascinated Warhol is the exact concept that we know produces our amazing photos – people will never do for a photographer what they do for our booth!

Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick in their photo booth photos - Andy's "selfie" and Edie "striking a pose - or four"

It’s a beautiful thing that in the age of the digital photo, your guests can have  an instant, tactile photo strip; often ending up in wallets and on fridges for years.

When we finish at your event, you receive a custom Photobooth Fun USB with all your 4-photo strips as well as a high resolution copy of every “single” photo taken. This means, if there is a photo that you just love, love, love among your photo strips, you’ll be able to enlarge and print these in fantastic quality.  

      Andy never had it that good!

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!
