If the Doctor had a TARDIS photo booth…

So the Doctor has recently regenerated, cool :) What if his TARDIS also regenerated… into a Photo Booth! Way COOLer!!

With a network of photo booths New Zealand wide, we travel everywhere.  We just need access and a power supply!  Like our Tauranga booth spending the weekend in Whakatane with Bay Rock Radio 1XX.

We’ve even mastered time travel*  That’s right, you can now book our photo booth eons into the future and we’ll be there ;)

Note: We don’t have a TARDIS shaped photobooth, but we can dress ours up like one! Please enquire when booking for availability & costs.

*While our current photo booths are one way time devices only, this TARDIS photo booth could be the inspiration for our next upgrade

School Ball Waikato

Balls and formals have always been the highlight of any high school calendar. Starting as early as July, the young people of New Zealand don their very finest and undertake an extensive beautification routine for the big night.
Photobooth Fun are a perfect addition to the night’s celebrations. We provide several package deal options for schools and are always happy to customise the booking to suit.
In the Waikato and Bay of Plenty, we’ve already attended four brilliant balls and met loads of lovely young people having a great time in the booth.
Give our administration team a call on 0800 FOTO BOOTH to book your date in now!

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.

Hamilton is celebrating it’s 150th Birthday and will be having the biggest birthday cake we’ve ever seen…piloted by Frank Prell, the Birthday Cake hot air balloon will be a huge part of the Balloons Over Waikato – Party On events.

One of the biggest and best free activities in the Waikato, hot air balloons and their skilled pilots will once again be adorning our skies, filling it with wonderous colour and shapes.

New shapes for this year include the Hummingbird, Angry Bird and Rocketman! Can’t wait.

If you’re lucky enough to be in the corporate tent, Photobooth Fun will see you there for your 2014 photos.



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!

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!
