Meet the Auckland Team!

Here in Auckland we are lucky to have a wonderful team of booth attendants, and thought we might take some time to introduce them to you!

Sara and Jacqui are our stay-at-home mums that enjoy having an excuse to get out of the house and socialise!  Jacqui used to manage a travel agency, before becoming a mum/booth attendant and Sara is one of the luckiest people we know – she wins every competition she enters!  We are just dreading the day she wins Lotto and doesn’t need to work anymore!!

 

Natalie is our most experienced booth attendant, attending more than 150 events so far!  Natalie is currently studying Nursing so she can double as the medic at your event, as well as your booth attendant!

 

We love students and have a few on our team – Hendrik studies Logistics, Joshua studies Architecture, Anna studies Illustration and Chloe studies Travel and Tourism – so between them they can work out the best way to get your booth from A to B, how to best utilise the booth in your space, and draw a pretty picture of it afterwards!

 

We are always looking for new operators to join our ever-expanding team so if you have reliable transportation and have a great personality, send your CV to auckland@photoboothfun.co.nz

 

Here are some photos of Team Auckland trying out some of our new props!

It’s mid-winter…Time to party!

Posted by , in Christchurch, Events, Packages, Photo Booth

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!

Got your booth booked… now get prop-ping!

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…

Tony – Hawkes Bay Manager


Is anyone else freezing?!! Lucky our booths aren’t solar powered or we may be in trouble!

Another fabulous few weeks in Auckland raising money for some fabulous causes and of course partying hard with a great bunch of birthday guys and gals!

We had an awesome time hanging out with the cool folk at Media Design School at the Coca Cola Careers Expo last month – you must check out www.facebook.com/mediadesignschool to see the photos taken.  Media Design School had a tonne of hits on their website as a result and we can’t wait to work with them in the near future so watch this space!

 

 

Fundraising for some great causes always makes us feel good and this month we put a smile on the face of Macleans College students who were raising money for the Westpac Helicopter.  If other schools are interested in an easy and FUN way to raise funds please email Suze at info@photoboothfun.co.nz!

There have been lots of mid-year staff parties too, so thanks to Tower, Chrisco, The International Travel College of NZ and Sinclair Knight Merz for having us along – you guys are fabulous!  We also attended a celebration dinner for the team at the Langham Hotel who have a great venue for weddings, school balls, corporate functions – you name it!  Check out www.auckland.langhamhotels.co.nz for more information on this stunning hotel!

Events we are looking forward to this week are the Bartercard Expo (as we have just joined the Bartercard network which we are very excited about!) and the Radio Lollipop Masquerade Volunteer Appreciation Evening which we have donated a booth for to say thanks to all the volunteers for all their hard work!

Until next time Auckland, keep warm!!

Eden, Suze, Quinn and bump!

Well here in Christchurch we’ve been welcomed into winter in no uncertain terms! The snow hit and we’ve been wrapping up and staying indoors (except when building the odd snowman of course).

We’ve also welcomed the start of the school ball season and kicked off with a carnival themed ball at Mount Hutt College in Methven – Clowns riding tiny bikes, stilt walkers, palm readers and of course, Photo Booth Fun – It really was a night to remember – Some fantastic organization from the MHC school ball committee!

 

If you’re planning your school ball, we can bring that extra something to make it memorable and oh so fun! Our team in Auckland have come up with some cool ideas about how to help you raise the funds and have kindly shared the love with me way down here in Chch, so get in touch if you’d like to know more.

We always love getting on board with fundraisers and another fun thing we did last month was join Mondo Travel Riccarton for their In the Pink afternoon tea – A fundraiser in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation with raffles, bubbles and a pink themed afternoon tea. There were some fabulous outfits there and a lot of laughs in the photobooth. And best of all, Mondo managed to raise over $10 000 for the cause – Brilliant!

 Ok, I’m off to perfect my snowman (right now it’s more of a snowblob) – If you’re looking to reward all of this winter braving with a well deserved mid winter Christmas party, don’t forget, having Photo Booth Fun along for the ride will up the fun factor one hundred percent and give you a lasting memento of the merriment!

Stay warm Christchurch!


Having a Ball in the Bay…

Well we’re well and truly into School Ball Season here in the Sunny Hawkes Bay! Here’s a few images from the Sacred Heart College/St John’s College Avatar themed ball held at the War Memorial Centre in Napier on Saturday, I especially love it when the staff really get in on the act… have a closer look at that nice face art!

All in all some gorgeous gowns, smart suits, and lots of Photo Booth Fun had by all! Check out the rest of the photos from the Gallery tab above.

Don’t forget if you’re going to a School Ball and the ball committee haven’t got a Photobooth booked yet make sure they contact us now so you don’t miss out! We’ll bring the fun with us, you can guarantee that.

And just for a bit of extra silliness for the day…

Of course, School Balls aren’t all we do, whether it’s a conference, corporate event, awards ceremony or wedding; whether you’re just wanting to add some fun to the event or some marketing mileage, or even fund raising for a charity; Life’s too short for boring events so get a Photo Booth in there and let the fun begin… because people do the funniest things when they think no-one’s watching!


Hello fellow Aucklanders!

What a month it has been – talk about being booth busy!  First off we moved our offices in Auckland to the lovely suburb of Mairangi Bay – a bigger place for our growing family, and collection of booths!!

School Ball season is officially here and we kicked off the season with Glendowie College was a real hoot!  We had two booths at the Glendowie Ball – one printing black and white pic’s and the other printing colour which was super popular with the students.  Thanks to our recent Facebook competition we have more school balls coming up so we are really looking forward to those too!

Speaking of schools, we have been doing some great work raising funds for school trips.  We have some great ideas that are NO cost and NO risk to the school.  You can use one of our booths at any school to raise that much needed cash, just contact us and we can let you know our little secret…

It’s not just secondary students enjoying our booth this month – we also took a booth to the AUT University Accommodation Ball and we are now working with Craccum Magazine which is an excellent read!

So what is coming up? How about two whole days with the staff at Southern Cross then three days hanging out with the awesome folk at Media Design School for the annual Coca Cola Careers Expo.  Throw in a couple of mid-winter Christmas parties, a few more school balls and some 21st parties and that pretty much sums up June!

So what have the Hamilton and Tauranga crews been up to in the past few weeks?

As well as weddings and birthdays across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty, we had a fun afternoon showcasing our booth at the Hamilton School Ball Expo.

Paeroa College, Waihi College, Hamilton Christian School, St John’s, Putaruru High School, Hamilton Girls High School, Sacred Heart and St Peters were some of the schools in attendance.  We’ve already confirmed a few school ball bookings and have a special School Ball deal on our 3hr package – save some money and get some FREE extras.  We’ve now got booths New Zealand wide, so if you’re planning your school ball (anywhere in New Zealand) and you’re interested in hiring a photo booth contact us and we can offer you our school ball special too.

Did you know that if you’re expecting 500+ guests to your school ball, it’s less than $3.00 per ticket to hire two Photo Booth Fun booths for the night?  That’s 3 hrs of unlimited photo booth photos and fun in 2 booths!!

We also had a great night helping Bellyful Hamilton fundraise with their 5 year engagement movie event recently – check out their photo booth photos here.

And this Sunday we’re at the Tauranga Wedding Show, TECT Arena, Baypark from 10am-4pm.  We’ll be offering FREE snaps in our photo booth and awesome Wedding Show deals – so if you’re attending the show make sure you pop in and see us at site 126.

Autumn in Christchurch

What a beautiful sight Christchurch is in the autumn – So many pretty colours! Sure we’ve had to add a few extra layers lately but we’ve been having a great time over the past month.

Great New Zealand Bridal Show
We took ourselves along to the Christchurch Wedding Expo at the Addington Events Centre and what a day we had! We met so many lovely couples and had so many people giving the photobooth a whirl – We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did! We even got a snap of the Christchurch team (left strip): That’s Nick in the middle, Natalie on the left and i’m the smart one on the right (smart’s a synonym for older right?)  Can you see a resemblance? Weeell, maybe not but it’s a family affair down here !

  

You can see all of the pics from the day in our online gallery.

We also met some great local businesses who are definitely worth checking out when you’re planning your big day. There was so much talent squeezed into the one place! Like the lovely Fallon and Nathan from Oh Buttercup and the friendly team from Hurunui Village (we even managed to savour some of their delicious wares after our big day – Yum!)

AMI Stadium Community Open Day
The excellent organisation of Choice Chch, thousands of people and some fantastic weather made this a day to remember and our photo booth gave people a memoir to take home too. It almost felt like we had all 20000 visitors through the booth!

  

 

Snappy Dressers getting snapped

There was much well deserved celebrating at the UCSA grad ball – organised by our friends at UCSA – The proof is in the pictures, there is no such thing as too much fun!
