Curtain closes, magic begins in our photobooth rental!

Photobooth Blog

Everyone loves the closed photobooth that Photobooth Planet provides for weddings and events. When that curtain shuts, it opens a box full of fun and sometimes craziness! The photo booth elevates the fun of any special day, making it even more memorable.  What distinguishes our photobooth rental from other companies?  One, we offer a closed, hard-sided, elegant photobooth which your guests are invited to enter rather than an open standing space.  Yes, it may be a squeeze for some, but the experience of going in and out of a booth, closing the curtain, and posing for pictures captures the original experience of the automated photobooth.  We think that experience is worth duplicating for your event.  Many photobooth rental companies provide open booths with a simple background, camera and printer.  The experience is equivalent to basically posing for a photographer without a photographer.  Our booth retains the original experience of the traditional photobooth, allowing your guests to experience how much fun it is to jump in and out of a photobooth.  Second, with upgraded internal components, our photobooth provides strikingly clear photos printed on the highest quality of photo paper.  Third, if aesthetics are important to you, our photobooth was crafted with a minimalist, simple, and sleek design ideal for the most historic venue to the most modern venues…and everything in between!   We limit our signage on our booth, providing a classy, but fun component to your event.

Out of sight from the rest of the guests, what goes on in that photobooth spontaneously generates great fun and is captured in duplicate photostrips. Then, the “magic” is taken home for everyone to cherish for years to come.

The Classic Booth is elegantly designed, and will fit even the classiest of occasions.

This couple really loved the idea of telling their story through our classic photobooth at a recent wedding in New York (NY).  Since our vintage photobooth has a timed delay between photos, this couple took advantage and were able to carefully plan out their three photos, making a pretty clear and distinguished photo strip.  Guests don’t always realize the benefit of the timed delay, so it is always great to watch couples take advantage of this when they enter our traditional photobooth.  These two had a great time jumping in and out of our photobooth throughout the wedding reception – dancing, then snapping photos in our photobooth, back to the dance floor, back to our photobooth.  I had a ton of fun interacting with them – one of the reasons I posted them as #6 in our Hall of Fame!

Photo bombing in our classic, vintage photobooth at an event in New Jersey (NJ)

Initially, the plan for this photo was to include two guests in our classic, vintage photobooth at a recent wedding in New Jersey (NJ).  As you can see, this was quite a party and three other guests jumped in and photo bombed the original photo in the booth!  We love watching guests really have fun in our photobooth.  Yes, it is a bit more snug than a camera with a backdrop, or a booth made out of pipes and curtains, but that is really part of the fun in having a old-fashioned, traditional photobooth at your event.  We have found that guests love cramming into a classic photobooth, closing the curtain, and snapping three photos!  In addition, the design of our photobooth incorporates both an elegant and classy aesthetic that makes it ideal for your wedding reception, prom, corporate fundraiser, or party!  We’ve put a lot of thought into it and we really enjoy when guests have fun in our booth – just like these guests!  One of the reasons we’ve listed them at #7 in our Photo Strip Hall of Fame for New York (NY) and New Jersey (NJ)!

Really fun couple hanging out in our vintage, traditional photobooth at an event in New York City (NYC) in April.  Love this guy’s beard – a natural prop for posing in our classic photobooth!    Initially, these two were a bit hesitant to actually try it at the wedding, but after a bit of convincing, they ended up having a great time and loving their photo strips!  Not only that, they loved the clarity and strikingly clear color of their photo strips – one thing that distinguishes us from other photo booth companies – the high quality of your final photo strip!  So glad these two had a great time in our vintage photobooth.  It was nice to win them over and capture this precious moment!

I love watching different generations having fun in our classic, vintage, old fashion photobooth.  Despite not knowing the phrase photo bombing,  these women kept doing these sorts of photos throughout the evening and had a wonderful time in our photobooth at the Plaza Hotel off Central Park in New York City (NYC).  One of them remarked that she had always loved the old fashion photobooths, since she was a child, and how much she enjoyed our photobooth during the wedding!  Available throughout the New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ), Metro New York, and Tri-State area!

Photobooth buddy from Belgium!

Posted 5/22/14 in: New Jersey New York

Serge Wailly, a photographer and owner of Instant Fotobox in Belgium, recently visited New York City (NYC) with his family and we connected at an event to share notes, hang out, and learn from each other’s photobooth business.  We ended up having a great time, he taught me about Belgium, I taught him a bit about the New York City (NYC) area, we shared our love for photobooths, and snapped some photos in our classic, vintage photobooth in New York City (NYC).  If you’re ever looking for a photobooth to rent in Belgium, here’s his website: http://www.instant-fotobox.be
