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.

Are you the coolest school in town?

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!

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!

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..!

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!

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!
