Weddings

Wedding photo booths have become a staple in the modern age. They provide guests with unique photo opportunities which allow them to express their creative side. They are great for guests as well as being great for those planning the wedding.

There are dozens of questions that planners and couples have to ask themselves. Is there enough cake for everyone? Should we use the rustic or the industrial centerpieces? Is everything going to go as planned?!

But photo booths are hands-off entertainment that is fun for all guests. The less stress the better!

Corporate Events

There are many different types of corporate events. They can range from a huge convention setting to a small team building conference.

No matter what kind of corporate event, there is a central idea of building relationships. This could mean getting closer to your coworkers or networking with strangers. Photo booths provide a way to capture any moments of connection.

One challenge that all types of corporate events face is being too stuffy. No one wants corporate events to be boring, but it is still seen as work. How do corporate events separate from the idea that this is just work talk?

By providing a break from the work talk! While photo booths can be useful for business, they are also great to let loose and take a break.

Galas and Dances

There is thoughtful effort that goes into these events; complemented by the efforts of those getting ready. They should be able to get their picture taken while they are partying.

Photo booths are great for awards shows, proms, school dances, or any kind of excuses to get dressed up.

Photo booths at these events are used in unique ways. The Classic Photo Booth can be a good alternative to the main event. The Free Form Roaming Photo Booth can capture the action. The Orbit 360 Photo Booth can capture full outfits and stands out as unique.

No matter what the style, a photo booth is sure to add something extra to galas and dances.

Private Parties

There are plenty of different kinds of private parties as there are many different kinds of photo booths. Photo booths will be used differently for different events. This goes to show how diverse the uses of photo booths can be.

Children at a birthday party are entertained by seeing their faces. They will occupy their time by taking silly photos. Guests at VIP events can make memories with their important people. Families can be sentimental. They can have their photos taken together in any grouping they choose. No matter who it is, everyone can enjoy a photo booth.

The best thing about having a photo booth for private parties is to walk away with a photo that says “I was there.” Pictures from photo booths can be displayed on refrigerators, added to scrapbooks, or even sent to others. It is a wonderful way to show exactly what it was like to be there.

Pride In Our Work

Why We Do What We Do

Photography has always meant something to us. It’s where we got our start, after all. Being able to capture and preserve a moment or memory isn’t something you can get with anything else.  

As everything becomes more and more digital, photography (and by extension, photo booths) have to keep up with the times. That’s why we always try and stay as up-to-date and modern as we can with our photo booths.

Many people decide against booking a photo booth because they think they’re outdated or tacky. Granted, some still are. If we’re talking about some dusty curtain booth shoved in a corner with no attendant, then yes, we agree. They are tacky. But the booths we provide at PBPC are always cutting-edge and top-of-the-line. You won’t find any tacky booths in our repertoire.
