Like any business, photobooth hire has it's peaks and troughs through the year, with certainly August being one of the high points due to the demand from Weddings. However, as you'll see in the photos below not all August bookings are for wedding photobooths, many other events also take place at this time of the year.
We started the month at Barnes in London for a superb wedding at the Wetlands visitor centre, where we were not the only entertainment, there was a great band and an ice-cream vendor as well . . . . .that doesn't happen often!
No photo here of the the band or ice-cream vendor (who had left when we arrived, champagne and ice-cream don't mix!)
For some reason we then didn't take any photos of the photobooth at a rental for 10-days, as the next picture on our camera was taken in Manchester at the 'Slug and Lettuce' where we were at a Corporate summer party.
As you can see, the booth was decked out in 'Corporate Colours' for the event and many of the guests had their photo on the 'shell' of the booth in the graphics, which they all loved! Something that we loved about the party was the entertainment, here's a quick photo (it's of the photobooth really . . . not!) :-
The following Monday we were at a Wedding in Essex, yes, a Monday wedding, not that common, but actually it somehow felt more relaxed :-
We then had a travel up to Durham county and a wedding at Seaton Carew, on the coast near Hartlepool, we arrived early and had a walk along the beach before we set up the photobooth - just as well we had some fresh air, as the booth had an extremely busy night - 380 prints in 3hrs 20 mins :-
The next day we travelled to Wales, to Clearwell Castle, which is on the edge of the Forest of Dean, a terrific venue for a wedding - no time for a walk before this photobooth event, our satnav took us the picturesque way, in fact down single track roads for the last 10miles!
2 days later we started a 5 day photobooth rental in a shopping centre for a Corporate client, over the event we printed off around 900 prints and took over 2000 photos, a great promotion :-
Then it was a local gig, in St Albans for a family party in a remarkable 'Moroccon tent', in fact it would have been no surprise if Col. Gaddafi were not hidden somewhere inside . . . . . the booth wasn't inside the tent, but just outside, so I include an internal view of the marquee :-
Our next engagement could not have been more of as contrast, a wedding in a modern barn conversion at Hatfield House :-
Then back to St Albans and to a wedding at Sopwell House, where we are the preferred supplier of Photobooths, ended up being a late night, the wedding speeches didn't finish until after 9pm . . . .I thought my own wedding speech was a long one . . . . .
And, last Saturday, to a great wedding in Stevenage at the Holiday Inn and another 300+ prints
The day after it was an early start and into London for the 'In Wedding Show' at Alexandra Palace, attended by nearly 1000 brides, we printed nearly 200 prints. What a sensation the booth was to the upcoming brides, and we're sure to get many orders from the event.
So a busy August, certainly no down time for us. The beach beckons in October . . . . .
