Because people do the funniest things when they think no one's watching...

Winter Blues Be Gone!!!

IMG_0219

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.


Planning an event in The Naki…

Date – check

Venue – check

…. Now what!

Well a Photo Booth Fun photo booth is obviously a must, so once you have checked that one of the list where do you go next…

Entertainment of course! And who better than Dman Entertainment! The PBF Taranaki team work very closely with the Dman crew and we wouldn’t have it any other way…these guys are the BEST of the BEST!

Not in Taranaki…or even New Zealand? No problem these guys often travel to exciting locations to keep the party going!

We have worked alongside Dman at many events with the booth and the feedback is always the same “man these guys are AMAZING”

We cannot recommend them highly enough! So if you are planning an event BIG or small then having Dman and a Photo Booth Fun booth there is a total must!

So how do you find all about Dinnie and the Dman team? That’s easy just follow these links and have a look!

Click here for their website and here for their Facebook page

Then call Dinnie and once you speak to him you will be convinced your event can not go ahead without him!

 

Oh and check out this photo strip from one of the last events we worked on together – and what a fantastic night it was!

Here we are, in June already, which means school ball season is well and truly upon us!  The Auckland crew have been at several balls (and pre-balls) already over the past few weeks, and as expected they just get bigger and better each year!  We have lots more booked in over the coming months too, and cant wait to be part of such an exciting night for students everywhere!

We love seeing everyone all glammed up for their big night …. and what better way to capture all the effort taken to look amazing, then photo booth photos (physical memories to be kept forever!!).

Don’t forget we offer awesome school ball packages, which we can tailor to your every need, so contact the lovely Suze today for a quote – its still not to late to book for this year.  A photo booth is a must have at every school ball so make sure you book one today!

Relying completely on donations, the Canteen Foundation helps support young people living with cancer.

Photobooth Fun is proud to be invited every year to attend the Canteen Relax event. It’s so great to see the smiles the photo booth gets from young people who are struggling with such adversity.

Here are some of the fantastic pictures from the event. Should you wish to make a donation to the Canteen foundation, you can do so through their website at www.canteen.org.nz

Meet one of the friendly Auckland crew….

This month we would like to introduce you to Sai. Sai is one of our amazing operators here in Auckland and for those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting him, you will know what a fab guy he is!

Sai has been working for Photo Booth Fun since 2012, is a civil engineer during the day, and is absolutely hooked on Photo Booth Fun! Here is what Sai has to say about his job working with us …..

Favourite thing about working for Photo Booth Fun: To be honest there are lots of favourite things about working for Photo Booth Fun. Meeting new people, going to various types of gigs such as: weddings, 21st birthdays, concerts, sporting events and traveling to different parts of Auckland. Out of everything, working with the Photo Booth Fun team is one of my favorite things hence I’m still working here and still will be for many more years to come. Definitely the best job ever!!
Funniest booth moment: Funniest moments … tough question as every gig is an entertaining gig! I guess one moment was at a wedding where the best man decided to strip down in the booth and took pictures of every part of his body then left a message with his naked photo strip in the Photo Booth Album (obviously alot of alcohol was consumed!!)
Most famous person you have had inside a booth: Sir Peter Leitch (Mad Butcher), Steven Luatua (Blues, All Blacks) & Colin Mathura-Jeffree
Famous person you would love to see inside the booth: Rihannon Fish (from Home and Away)
Why should people book with Photo Booth Fun: A photo booth definitely brings out the fun out of everyone no matter the age. The amount of poses, selfies, photobombs etc that happen inside the booth is the best entertainment. Honestly speaking having Photo Booth Fun at any event of any sort will be the best decision someone can ever make!

Sai is an absolute superstar operator, so if you do see him at an event, make sure you go say hi!

Winter Planning for Summer Weddings

Posted by , in Photo Booth

Summer is behind us and as temperatures drop and the rainfall increases, so too do all the great wedding expos.
The planning of a wedding is a huge undertaking and we at Photobooth Fun are witness to just how much effort goes into each and every wedding we attend.
This year, the Bay of Plenty and Waikato have a great line up of expos for brides and grooms to attend. They are a great way to meet wedding suppliers in one convenient location and most offer expo only specials to take advantage of.
Don’t worry if you’ve left some details to the last minute – wedding suppliers are very well networked in the industry and most will still be more than happy to help make your big day happen.

Sunday 18th May – The Wedding Affair – Sarnia Park, Cambridge
Sunday 25th May – Tauranga Wedding Show – ASB Arena, Bay Park
Sunday 1st June – Rotorua Wedding Show – Rotorua Convention Centre
Sunday 29th June – Waikato Wedding Expo– Hamilton Gardens Pavillion

Photobooth Backdrop Ideas

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.

This month we again had the pleasure of joining the team at Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust for their open day.

These guys do an amazing and vital job so offering our support is a no brainer – And of course it helps that we love meeting people and sharing the fun of our booth ;)

It’s always a great day out for families and this year was no exception. We had so many families jumping in for a photo – You know it is an excellent way to get that perfect family portrait..

And the best thing is, you have four to choose from!

 

Looking forward to joining the Air Rescue team again for next year’s event – hope to see you there!
