The Three P’s – Peace, Pout and Pose!

Ball season has started and we’ve come to realise that school students have the Three P’s perfected! Let’s take a look at some examples..

First up we have ‘Peace’, one of the most popular booth poses. The perfect last-minute pose if you have missed the 4… 3…. 2… and turn around to the number 1 appearing on the screen!

Next up is the Pout , well and truly perfected by high school students. This one can take a bit of practice, but once you’ve got it sorted you can’t go wrong with a good pout!

And finally we have the all round ‘Pose’. This can be anything from the Surprised Face… Fish Lips… Charlies Angels… Bunny Ears… Tongues out and if you’re lucky maybe even a peck on the cheek! (Bonus points for a variety!)

Whatever you decide to do in the booth, whether it’s spontaneous or pre-planned, the Photo Booth Fun staff love hearing all of the hysterical laughter coming from behind that curtain when you first see your captured photo!

If you’re looking to add that extra bit of fun to your school ball, contact us now to find out about our packages!

To prop or not to prop?!??

Posted by , in Awards, Corporate, Events, Marketing

Here at Photo Booth Fun we see many things… we see many people laughing, many people planning the perfect pose,  many people giggling as they retrieve their photo strip – all and all we see a lot of people having fun! Part of that fun is deciding on which prop to where – there are so many choices, which one sums up you? which one is good for the laughs? which one is just the cutest? and then there is the question that often follows the complex prop decision ….do we even prop?

Truth is our booths are fun however you approach them, sometimes its nice to hide behind a prop …sometimes it is fun to go all out and crazy with the props and sometimes it is cool to just be you!

One of our Taranaki Managers Jordan and Operator Tess will now demonstrate a few proping options….

First up we have ‘The Prop’ classically done …. Jordan even has 2 props (FYI you can never have too many props)…

Photo Booth Fun Props

 

Nest up we have’The Half Prop’ this is great if you are not truly ready to commit to the full prop seen above, just grab one thing and you are away laughing…

half-prop

And finally we have ‘The No Prop’ … here there are no props in action but as you can see Tess and Jordan don’t need a prop when they can pull classic photo booth facials like these…

Photo Booth Fun NZ

So there you have it! It really doesn’t matter if you prop it or don’t prop it – it’s all about having fun and with Photo Booth Fun at your event that is exactly what you will do!

Call us today to get us along to your next event – you won’t regret it we promise xx

 


Everybody loves a photo booth – why not book one for a client?

Already the Wellington Photo Booth Fun schedule is filling up with corporate parties, annual awards dinners, staff get together’s, fundraisers/community events…  and private parties where friends and families are just getting together to have fun!

Within these booking are a growing number of events where suppliers have booked a booth for client functions… a really cool and affordable way of saying “Thank You” in a manner that will be long remembered with a brand/logo on the custom photo strips!

Give us a call if you want to discuss this idea some more… we would love to work with you to get the most out of such and can discuss other services such as deluxe custom designed photo strips, online galleries, custom backdrops… some of which may even be complementary!

Last weekend the Hawkes Bay PBF team had the chance to spread some good cheer with a great bunch of kids and their families at the Special Children’s Extravangaza Party in Napier.  Check out the Photo Booth Fun gallery here.

Heaps of local businesses supported the day – either with their services like us, or by contributing gifts to the present cave and there were heaps of volunteers helping out on the day too.

We are finding props are making the party this season!

They add so much fun to any event. Whether you are having a wedding, a party, a school ball or any party really, there is one essential ingredient…….it needs to be FUN!!!!!   A photo booth definitely adds the fun to any event but adding a photo booth with props takes it to a whole new level.

Props give the guests a chance to let loose and be silly. They also add spontaneity and help create great looking photos.  You are guaranteed huge amounts of laughs, with guests lining up to get a piece of the action. Creating lasting memories the best way we know how…with laughter.

Take a look at this beauty. She took a colourful hat with some funny glasses and added a gorgeous smile to boot.  Perfect!!!!

Harlee for webThe props we use are:

  • Fake moustache or lips
  • Oversized glasses
  • Dress up Hats
  • Masquerade Masks
  • Rabbit Ears
  • Island Lei
  • Wigs
  • and more
