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…

It’s mid-winter…Time to party!

Whether it’s for the office or to celebrate with your friends, a perfect reward for getting through this cold winter is a Mid-Winter Christmas Party. And if you’re looking for a unique idea to make it memorable, look no further; Our photo booths not only provide great entertainment but everyone gets a souvenir to take home and since all of our packages include a digital copy of all the carry on, you’ll get to relive the fun over and over.

Of course all of this applies to the real Christmas parties later in the year too (we all know it’ll be on us before we know it!) The photo booth is the perfect addition to get people in the Christmas spirit and we have some ideas to make the most of Photo Booth Fun at your party:

  • Include props to add that extra bit of fun – If you have a special theme, let us know and we’ll see if we can find the right additions.
  • Create a backdrop that suits – Balloons, streamers and decorations can really add to the festive feeling.
  • If it’s for the office, having your logo inserted on the photo strip is a great way for everyone to remember your party for even longer.
  • Using the best Photo Booth Fun pictures for your Christmas card is an excellent way to stand out from the crowd.
  • Create funny stories: Make up situations and circumstances and have people act them out over the four shots – You can try acting out songs or stories and include a game where guests have to guess from the photo strips. And if you choose to include our online gallery, it can be funny for guests to try to match the photo strips to the scenarios later on!!
  • And of course, festive costumes and decorations always help people get in the spirit!

On another note – We here in Christchurch are looking forward to the Mid Canterbury Wedding Expo next weekend – Come along, support a good cause and get your photo taken in the booth while you’re at it!

If you’ve booked your Photo Booth Fun time and you’re getting all set for the big event, why not add some extra Photo Booth Fun by adding some props to use in the booth? You can add a props box to your booking and we’ll bring it along with us or you can make yourself the ultimate props box by following these fun ideas.


Here are some suggestions…

  • Big geeky glasses
  • Large antique picture frame (so guests can frame themselves)
  • Multi coloured beads or Hawaiian Leis
  • Hats, wigs and pretty much any gear you can think of – the brighter the better!
  • How about a fake moustache on a stick?!
  • A chalk board for messages – you can even get them shaped like a speech bubble!
  • Inflatable guitar and microphone – for that matter just about anything inflatable so long as it doesn’t take up the whole booth!
  • Viking helmet and battle axe
  • Mickey Mouse ears and animal noses and ears
  • Pirate gear – eye patches arrrr…

There’s just about no end to the fun you can have with some props in a photobooth! Just let your imagination (and maybe the wine) flow and lets see what develops…

Buck’s and Hen’s Night Ideas

Posted by , in Packages, Photo Booth, Tips, Weddings

With the wedding season ramping up soon, we thought it might be a good time to jot down some cool ideas we’ve see around for Hen’s and Buck’s nights:

Cooking Classes
Nothing better than being in the kitchen with a class of red and making a mess with friends, so why not make a night of it. There’s quite a few places out there that offer packages for classes and the range of food is amazing.

A Photo Booth (of course!)
We’ve been getting a few bookings lately for Hen’s nights and a photo booth is a prefect way to document the start of your night on the town. Our kiosk booth is perfect for making a customised background and getting all the ladies in for some great group shots or the boys around for some male bonding (trousers on please lads!). Combine it with a package from Party Specialists like Kahvort and you’ll have it all in the one place!

Adventure Activities
Not strictly for the boys, but an afternoon of quad-biking is sure to build up a thirst for a few beers with the groom-to-be. Companies like FreemanX can sort you our for a day to be remembered (Those bruises are not going to fade quickly!) and our favourite would be sprint car racing!


Makeover and Pinup Photo Shoot
More for the ladies, the lovely people at Pretty Pictures have a great “Going to the Chapel” package which is designed for your hen’s night.  It includes full professional hair and make up, retro pinup or burlesque costumes, professional photography and of course bubbles to get you all in to the mood. Complete the night with some Burlesque lesson’s from the likes of Venus Love or Miss La Belle!
