2011 saw our network complete over 1900 events for enthusiastic photobooth aficionados across this great land. Read on to hear about the major events we did this year, and how our four new photobooth models are ready to change our industry for the better - making photobooth-business ownership even more affordable. And it's no coincidence that we are blogging on Australia Day - join us as we celebrate this fine day with booths in Cotton On stores all over the country! ...and if you can't... put another snag on the barbie and we'll catch up with you later!

We were chuffed recently to be approached to photograph the Ten Tenors for some publicity shots. The guys had a heap of fun hamming it up in the booth for photographers, before heading off on their Australian tour. This month we've also added more locations to our network and another 18 machines around Australia for hire...

The Photobooth People are pleased to announce we now offer photobooth rental in Darwin. We also were recently awarded 2nd and 4th placings in the QLD ABIA Awards, and have just returned from checking out photobooths northern-hemisphere style. Lots to tell!

We are really enjoying checking out lots of new venues and locations for photobooth rentals this year. Our newest network members have set up shop offering photobooths for hire in Mackay, Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays, the Aussie Snowy Mountains, Wagga Wagga, Mornington Peninsula and Canberra......

We think so! The Photobooth People Rental Network has made photobooth history, having just wrapped up Australia’s Largest Photobooth hire event. Village Roadshow contracted us to provide photobooths for the release of their new movie ‘Hall Pass’ - a hilarious new movie featuring the comedic talents of Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis.

Well Australia day has now passed and this is the time of year when all of your favourite television shows begin to launch their new seasons.

The Photobooth People Rental Network is widening and we recently welcomed Belinda Riley from Orange, New South Wales to our team. Her first event went off with a bang and she wanted to share her excitement with the world… well done B! We look forward to hearing more from you soon.

With Christmas and 2011 nearly upon us it’s given us a great opportunity to reflect on what an amazing year we’ve had here at The Photobooth People. We are very blessed to have a wonderful team of people working with us and together we have built The Photobooth People Rental Network to be the largest photobooth rental group in the country.

We’ve just finished a 4 day 24/7 installation at Jupiters Casino for their 25th birthday. Yup, that’s right Jupiters is 25 years old…crazy stuff! Amongst numerous celebrations and parties, their staff ‘got their booth on’ for 4 days. Yeeha!

We got up to some extreme booth business during the September school holidays. We were asked by Ipswich Art Gallery to help them facilitate a 16 day black light exhibition. We put our heads together with the artistic directors at the gallery and came up with….wait for it……our black light photobooth!

As most of you know we are like proud parents at the moment, with seven new photobooth businesses having launched or about to launch with our help. A number of them have grabbed the opportunity to write a few words for us and we thought we would share them with you.
Tuesday, 31 August 2010
The Photobooth People have now helped seven new photobooth rental businesses launch since June this year. Excitedly what our sales customers are learning is what we learnt very early on…. If you bring a booth, they will come. All types of people and all types of celebrations are calling for booths, for everything from Christenings to Weddings and back again.

We finally started and finished writing our ceremony and vows tonight. For those of you who don’t know me very well, I’m a crier. I cry when I’m upset, when I’m happy, over spilt milk and at the drop of a hat. I can’t help it. And true to form, I cried writing our ceremony. I cried a lot. And in the midst of tears it got me thinking about backup plans!

Have I told you about my Bridesmaids yet? I consider myself to be one very lucky lady, in that I have a lot of women that I am extremely close to, both family and friends. In one way this made choosing my bridesmaids extremely difficult. But, the three women, that I’m so privileged to have with me on the day, made my choice easy.

Working at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, I am fortunate to attend amazing functions every day, and was very fortunate to meet Nikki and her photobooth! After watching how much fun the function guests were having, Damien and I loved the idea of giving our guests the opportunity to create a keepsake of our wedding day too.

Can you believe it’s only two months to go until our big day? Two months! That’s only 62 days left!! I honestly can’t believe how quickly time has flown. It seems like only yesterday that Paul and I set the wedding date and had ‘plenty of time’ to go.

It is with great excitement that we announce a new partnership with Spain’s Digital Centre to exclusively distribute their photobooths in both Australia and New Zealand.

It has to be said- planning a wedding sucks! Correction…planning a wedding is a lot of fun…planning to PAY for a wedding and trying to maintain a somewhat normal existence is almost impossible, and not in the least bit fun!

Our latest promo is to offer the most exquisite freebie you can imagine – a free attendant with every purchase of a custom photo album or magnet package. Jade and Casey our friendly attendant-extraordinaires are now on line and waiting for your call!

[Easter 2010 at our place] While eating a squillion chocolate eggs and Easter Cheesecake (you don’t eat Easter Cheesecake??) it was becoming a little too easy for us to forget about what was going on in the rest of the world. Luckily however, Amy McArdle sent us a well timed email before we fell into our chocolate coma and urged us to stop and think about the big picture.

We recently had the opportunity to work at the 102.9 Hot Tomato Star Party at Conrad Jupiters Casino on the Gold Coast. The party had a bevy of TV celebrities in attendance, including Underbelly’s Gyton Grantley, Dieter Brummer & Peter Phelps.

HELLO New Year Weddings! This week saw us add two brand new booth backgrounds to our line-up just in time for the up-coming summer/autumn wedding season - beautiful silk damasks to take your wedding photobooth experience to a whole other level.

I’m not superstitious. I walk under ladders, I open umbrellas inside, and I really quite like black cats. So the idea that Paul and I couldn’t see each other before the wedding just made no sense to me...

Photographer extraordinaire Karen Buckle of Karen Buckle Photography (now one of our most recommended!) was kind enough to share some of her captivating works of art with us recently.

Last week we were lucky enough to take one of our booths on one of the longest direct journeys in mainland Oz. Our mantra of ‘have booth will travel’ certainly moved up a whole other notch. So how far did our travelling booth travel? Well…..let’s see…. 4,790kms give or take…and that was just the one-way journey!

From January until March, we will donate a percentage of every photobooth hire fee to the Oxfam Australia Haiti Earthquake Appeal. Despite our physical distance from this devastating event, we hope we can contribute, and in some small way send a message of hope and support to all those who are suffering.

What a wonderful, wonderful year. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone once again for all of your support and business in 2009. We had so much fun and again feel blessed to have met so many lovely and interesting people, and to have helped them celebrate the magical moments in their lives.

My Grandma has called me twice recently, just to check on what I have organised for the wedding. Both of those conversations have gone something like this...

January 2009 saw the launch of our now annual venue promo. The enticement? A free photobooth at the staff Christmas Party of every venue that hosted four or more photobooth events this year.
Monday, 26 October 2009
We’ve been doing this for a while….photoboothing that is. Long before Matt from Canada and Nikki from Australia became Matt and Nikki from Brisbane, we had both started our own separate love affairs with these beautiful old memory makers.

We are thrilled to bits to post the very first instalment of Tamara’s Wedding Blog. Honoured that Tamara accepted our challenge to document her wedding, we’re certain that our other brides and blog-fans will learn bucket-loads as they follow her on her journey from The Proposal to The Big Day.

We have our QLD Bulls Family Fun Day once a year, and as this was my first year coordinating the event, I wanted to have something that guests could take home and remember the day. We had between 1500-2000 people at our fun day. We had rides, face painting, a BBQ, carnival food, sponsor products and cricket activities. We had a photobooth set up, which was free of charge for our guests.

By far our most popular extras are our sleek and stylish 100-page leather bound photo albums. They are a huge 31cm x 34cm, and they’re worth every cent; just ask our brides.

Summer is here. Spring has sprung. Or so it felt with nine days left of winter! The 22nd of August marked a very special day for some new friends of ours – and what a day it was. Winter in Brisbane had managed to pull off a crisp and clear, nearly perfect rendition of a beautiful spring day for Marco and Lesa’s wedding.

One month ago today, Matt’s beautiful cousin Tara married her sweetheart in Halifax, Canada. We were so down about missing such an important day in our good friend’s lives, but so thrilled to hear about the fabulous day that unfolded.

We’ve been privileged enough to photograph a few celebs in our time. Some minor, some not so minor, and some, well they were just fabbbbulous ;-) The tally so far includes Australian and international sports stars, and local Brisbane media personalities. And as much as we’d love to, you won’t see their pics anywhere - not on our site, not in our marketing, nor advertisments.

We here at The Photobooth People are convinced we offer the most comprehensive photobooth experience in Queensland at the most competitive price. To prove we mean business we’ve dropped the $75 price-tag on the personal message/logo option with our Classic Booth packages.

Everyone wants to know how to get the money shot. Well ladies and gents, here are our tips on how to take the best photos (you don’t have to be Lara Bingle to look good in our booths).

Rich velvets, exotic orientals and mad paisley reminders of the 70s. No, not an insider’s look at my parent’s wardrobe, but actually our brand spankin’ new Classic Booth backgrounds. Seriously!

The very first….carefully typed words! A new year, I felt, called for new adventures, new excitement and a new way to communicate with our clients - our Photobooth People Family. ‘Blog’ someone whispered…Start a blog! came the cry. Okay…as a boother, I thought how hard could this be?
