Custom Outdoor Photo Booth for Wedding at Omni Barton Creek in Austin, Texas

This wedding is to.die.for. Hailey and Trey went all out with the opulence for their wedding at Omni Barton Creek in Austin, Texas, and we couldn’t be more obsessed!

For their photo booth, they opted for an outdoor booth setup and created their own backdrop with the pink wall and name sign. The pink wall also matched their altar backdrop for their outdoor ceremony. 

We created custom photo templates for them using their name and floral designs that matched the rest of their wedding. 

Speaking of floral designs, can you believe the jaw-dropping creations by David Kurio Designs? From the flower arch at the ceremony to the cascading cake arrangement, we are honestly speechless! Scroll down for all the photos by the wonderful John Cain Photography. 

We love that the Omni offers so many indoor and outdoor spaces so that couples can have the wedding of their dreams. After their gorgeous outdoor ceremony, the couple hosted dinner under the breathtaking tent and then moved inside for dancing and drinks. 

The evening also included fireworks, golfing, and an amazing live concert before the newlyweds drove off in style. It was a fairytale wedding that no one will forget anytime soon, and we were honored to be part of it!

Whether your wedding is grand or intimate, we want to be part of the celebrations. Oh Happy Day Booth provides luxury photo booths with the ultimate customization. Contact us today to bring your dream photo booth to life for your Austin-area wedding or event!

Roaming Photography for the Texas Advocacy Project 40th Anniversary Gala in Austin, TX

Did you know that we offer more than typical photo booth services? We can also bring the photo booth to you with roaming photography!

With roaming photography, there’s no backdrop or stationary photo booth. Instead, our attendant roams the video with a tablet and snaps photos of your guests right where they are. Immediately after guests can send the photos straight from the tablets to their phones. No waiting for a gallery link!

We recommend roaming photography when you want to capture more of the event and make it even easier for your guests to get their photos taken. If you want more photos of your venue and want to capture candid moments, roaming photography is perfect for your event.

Check out this great example of roaming photography at the recent 40th anniversary gala for the Texas Advocacy Project (TAP)! TAP is an amazing local organization that provides free legal and social solutions to survivors of power-based abuse in Austin. 

We love what TAP does and had a blast at their 40th anniversary black and white gala. They pulled out all the stops and rolled out an actual red carpet for this gorgeous event!

Along with providing roaming photography and meeting guests where they were, several guests also wanted their photos taken in front of the gorgeous marble wall. It was the best of both worlds!

Top Spring Wedding Color Ideas in 2023

The new year is right around the corner, so it’s time to think about spring weddings! We love springtime weddings because the color options are so fun. 

In the last few years, we’ve seen a massive shift in wedding style when it comes to color. Gone are the days of minimalist and muted wedding aesthetics. Bold and bright is in! 

For spring weddings, that means you get to have fun with your decor, springtime blooms, stationery, and whatever else you want to add a splash of color to at your wedding. Keep reading for our top spring wedding color ideas in 2023.

Lavender

Purple has been having a major moment lately, and in the spring of 2023, lavender will be all the rage. Here are a few fun ways to use this color:

• Add real lavender sprigs to your bouquet, floral arrangements, and boutonnieres

• Dress your bridesmaids in hues of pastel purple

• Wear an amazing pair of lavender heels

• Use lavender toss bags for your getaway

• Cover your cake in gorgeous purple flowers

Whether or not you actually incorporate real lavender flowers, there are tons of ways to use lavender in your color scheme. And since lavender is also a hot flavor right now, you can use it in your catering to really amp up the theme! Everyone loves lavender lemonade, lemon-lavender pastries, or a great lavender cocktail.

Bright Pink, Dusty Rose, and Blush

Orange might be competing with pink, but that doesn’t mean that pink is going anywhere! There are more popular pink shades than ever. In fact, in the last year, we’ve seen some gorgeous all-pink weddings!

Pink hues can up the romance and whimsy at your wedding. There are tons of ways to pull in more pink, from your flowers to your decor. Getting married around Valentine’s Day? Mixing pink and red has been a huge trend lately too, so why not go all out?

If you love softer pink shades, hues like dusty rose and blush are also here to stay in 2023. They’ll be a top choice for brides who want to ditch all white and go for an unconventional wedding dress. Delicate pink colors are also perfect for spring because they’re gorgeous with sage green and other seasonal shades!

Bright Orange

Despite what Elle Woods thinks, orange might actually be the new pink. Seriously, this color has had an amazing rise in popularity. Everyone loves deep orange hues for fall weddings, but brighter oranges will also make a huge splash in spring weddings next year!

Bright orange is so cheerful, and it fits in perfectly with the wedding trends we’ve seen lately. From disco balls to feathers to neon signs, the trends are all about turning your wedding into a party that no one will forget. Bold color choices are part of that, which is where bright orange comes in!

If a bright burst of color isn’t your thing, coral, rust orange, and gold will also be popular options that are in the same family. Another fun way to add more orange to your wedding is to use vintage amber glasses in your table settings.

Dusty Blue

Move over, navy! Dusty blue is the new favorite blue shade for weddings. While blue isn’t traditionally a spring color, it will pop up in tons of springtime weddings this year. From bridesmaid dresses to table linens, dusty blue is a gorgeous pop of color that still feels delicate.

Dusty blue is also a versatile color that blends well into so many pallets. It works well with silver, darker blues, green, pink, and cream.

Bright Yellow

Just like bright orange, bright yellow has had a huge resurgence in wedding trends lately. In fact, mixing orange and yellow is on trend too! 

However, we’re not talking about the pale canary yellow shade that was popular a few years ago. This time around, couples are going bolder with sunflower yellow. If you’re going for a rustic look, go warmer with honey yellow. For a minimalist look, daffodil yellow is a paler option that still invokes the springtime vibe.

Customize Your Wedding Photo Booth for Spring

Are you planning on having a photo booth at your wedding? We might be biased, but we think they’re a must-have! Photo booths offer a fun activity for your guests to do at your reception, and they get to go home with a custom keepsake from the big day.

There are tons of ways to customize your photo booth to match the spring trends in 2023. Here are a few ideas that work with Oh Happy Day photo booths:

• Choose a photo booth backdrop that matches your spring colors, like lavender, pink watercolor, or rose gold

• Dress up your backdrop with bright streamers or balloons

• Add a custom neon sign to your backdrop

• Go with the flower wall or boxwood wall to bring in more spring elements - you can even add more flowers to the boxwood wall!

• Instead of a backdrop, request a custom streamer wall and use bold colors

One of the best things about throwing a springtime wedding is the endless color options, and you can pull them into your photo booth too! From streamers to blooms, you can create a custom photo booth backdrop that brings your springtime dreams to life.

Classy Black and White Photo Booth for Shannon and Will's Wedding in Austin, TX

Is there anything more classic than a black-and-white photo? When Shannon and Will said they wanted a black and white glam photo booth for their gorgeous wedding, we were so game. 

As their photos prove, going classic doesn’t mean you have to be boring! The guests had an absolute blast in our photo booth at this wedding, and it shows. 

Here’s why we love photo booths at weddings:

• It’s an activity that all ages love to participate in

• Your guests get to take home a personal souvenir from your big day

• It’s a GREAT way for guests or the bridal party to get in time with the bride and groom that feels special, but it doesn’t overwhelm the couple

• With the professional photos taken care of, photos in the booth can be more relaxed and playful

• The couple can take a moment to themselves to snap photos in the booth

We’re in love with Shannon and Will’s elegant wedding. From the plush purple velvet chairs to the rocking live band, they added so many details that made it even more memorable! 

Huge shout out to Wedding Day Girl for killer day-of coordination. Whether you plan your wedding by yourself or use an event planning team, we always recommend a day of coordinator to help things go off without a hitch!

We also want to shout out and credit Two Fish Weddings for the gorgeous photos - you can see their work below.

Roaming Photography for the ATXSciWri Galaxy Holiday Party

This event was a GALACTIC success! We brought the photo booth to the guests at this fun holiday party for the non-profit Austin Texas Science Communicators (also known as ATXSciWri)! 

Our roaming photo booth is perfect for capturing the full event. Instead of staying at the photo booth, our attendant roams the venue with a camera and gathers guests together for photos. 

The guests can send the photos to themselves straight from the tablet and share them right away! No more painfully waiting for a photographer to send you a gallery link. Plus, at the end of the night, the host immediately gets a download link to all of the photographs!

Here at Oh Happy Day Booth we love roaming photography because we get to interact with guests, capture candid moments, and document the entire event. 

The ATXSciWri holiday party got the best of both worlds! They opted for roaming photography and still rented a metallic backdrop to match their theme. We got to capture guests in front of the backdrop and around the venue. Get you a photo booth company that can do both. 😉

This party was out-of-the-world fun. According to their website, “ATXSciWri is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting accurate, accessible, and ethical science writing and communication.” We love partnering with organizations that are doing some good in the world! 

Are you planning an epic holiday party? Consider booking roaming photography and bringing the photo booth to the guests! Contact us today to discuss your event - we can’t wait to party with you!

Tropical Photo Booth Backdrop for TikTok Austin Employee Party

Surf’s up! Our blue ombre photo booth backdrop made a splash at the TikTok Austin employee party this summer!

The backdrop was perfect for the tropical-themed party, and the TikTok team had a blast with the beachy props. This whole party was absolutely unreal!

From a cornhole tournament to the DJ stylings of Brandon Williams, the official DJ for the Dallas Cowboys…TikTok knows how to throw an employee appreciation event!

The party was coordinated by The Ramsey and Company team, and they nailed it with the theme. Guests flipped for the bold summer decor, fun tropical drinks, and swag bags with sunglasses and leis. 

Our sister company, Pop & Drop, also got in on the party! They installed an epic streamer wall, balloon garland, and hanging streamers throughout the venue! Check out the recap blog on their site for more photos - we’re obsessed!

5 Great Bat Mitzvah Themes and Bar Mitzvah Themes

Throwing a bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah for your child is no easy task these days. It’s an important spiritual landmark in their life, and they want to have a celebration with their friends that they’ll remember forever.

One way to make the process easier is to choose a fun theme that the guest of honor and their friends will love.

Your theme will guide your decision-making when it comes to food, decor, location, activities, and other aspects of the party. How do you pick the perfect theme? We’ve got you covered with the best themes for bat mitzvahs and bar mitzvahs below!

Video Game Theme

Does your kid love video games? Throw a party based on their favorite gaming universe! For example, with the new Mario Bros movie coming out, why not throw a Super Mario Party?

Everyone can dress up as characters from the franchise, and you can set up real-life versions of the video game. If you want to go all out, you can create a real-life obstacle course with mushrooms and gold coins.

To keep this idea simpler, host a Mario Kart tournament and theme up the decor and food. Who wouldn’t love a Yoshi cake? Another approach is to easily create real-life Mario Kart by having all the kids dress up and go to a Go Kart track. Mamma Mia!

Old Hollywood Party

Roll out the red carpet for your teen! They’ll love posing in a red carpet-themed photo booth with all of their friends. You can even have the attendants act like paparazzi! 

Style their bat or bar mitzvah after the Oscars and ask everyone to dress up like their favorite Hollywood star. The guest of honor can roll up in a stretch limo just like the stars. From the decor to the food, every aspect of this party should be glammed up to be worthy of the stars.

Halloween Theme

If your bat or bar mitzvah falls in October, why not take advantage of the season and throw a massive Halloween party for your teen? Everyone can dress up in devilish and witchy costumes and you can deck out the venue with skulls, cobwebs, and skeletons. A historical venue with medieval candle chandeliers can even double as a haunted house!

You can also serve spooky drinks in goblets and cover the venue in lanterns and pumpkins. The guest of honor and their friends will love it!

Music Festival Party

If your teen is entering their music festival phase, why not throw one just for them? Hire a great band that can play all of their favorite songs so you can keep the dance party going all night long! Turn your child’s favorite lyric into a neon sign and attach it to the photo booth. 

You can decorate the venue with boho details like giant pillows to sit on and tapestries. Don’t forget the feather earrings and hair extensions! 

Summer Tropical Theme

Let’s be real, we live in Texas, so it’s almost always warm enough for a summer tropical-themed party! Go all out with fun tropical drinks served out of coconuts (virgin, of course), tiki lanterns, and bold beachy colors. 

You can also deck out the venue with palm fronds and bamboo and serve a chocolate fondue bar with tons of tropical fruit for dipping! There are also great games you can play at Tropical parties, like limbo. You can also string up some hammocks for the guests that want to chill out!
For more tropical theme ideas, check out this amazing party we got to be part of with our sister brand, Pop & Drop, for TikTok Austin!

The Perfect Photo Booth for Bat Mitzvahs and Bar Mitzvahs 

No matter what theme you choose for your child’s big bat or bar mitzvah bash, no party is complete without a photo booth! Our luxury photo booth backdrops can match any party theme, and you can customize them with themed-up props! 

Tech-savvy kids love the Selfie Booth because they can take the photos themselves and immediately send them to their phones for social media sharing. 

You can also add on a balloon garland, streamers, and custom signage to make the booth your own. Your kids and their friends will love posing in the booth, and the photos make the perfect party keepsakes!

Final Thoughts on the Best Bat Mitzvah Themes and Bar Mitzvah Themes

 At the end of the day, the best bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah theme for your child is the one that makes them feel celebrated and honors the momentous occasion. Whether you go all out or keep it simple, they’ll love partying with their friends and celebrating their rite of passage! 

We’d love to be part of the big day! To book a custom photo booth for your child’s bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah, contact us here.

Boxwood Wall Photo Booth for Brian and Davielle’s Wedding at the Four Seasons in Austin, TX

Our photo booth backdrops are like children: we love them all. But we also have to admit that there’s something extra special and romantic about the boxwood wall backdrop. It’s so fun to customize it with florals that match each event, and that’s precisely what we did for Brian and Davielle’s wedding at The Four Seasons in Austin, TX!

The boxwood wall backdrop complimented their elegant wedding perfectly, and it looks stunning with the florals and their custom last name sign. Thank you to Rebekah Paul Photography for capturing the booth!

Not only was this wedding elegant, but it was also an all-out party. The live band got everyone moving and grooving, and the couple even joined them on stage during the reception to rock out! 

The outdoor ceremony was also gorgeous. We love that they decorated the gorgeous Texas oak tree with more florals, and the bridesmaid neutral-toned dresses complimented the green scenery perfectly. 

The thing that sticks out the most to us in these photos is that you can tell that the bride and groom had a blast throughout their entire wedding day, which is all we wish for our couples! We’re always honored to be part of these meaningful moments with our clients.
