Getting Creative With Photo Booth Props (Maya & Sean’s Wedding Recap)

We’re so happy to say that props are back! Props are a great way to get creative with your photo booth rental at a wedding or corporate event. Guests love holding signs, wearing hats, or accessorizing with boas. 

For any guests who may feel a little stiff in the booth, a prop is amazing for loosening them up so they can let their hair down! Plus, you can also customize your props to match your event and make your booth rental even more memorable.

Maya and Sean’s guests had a blast with props at their wedding at Two Wishes Ranch in Lockhart, Texas! The couple went with a classic black-and-white photo booth and guests of all ages joined in on the fun.

The couple had the perfect Texas fall wedding; we’re obsessed with the flower arch at the altar! The cocktail hour was complete with a gorgeous crostini bar and a drink donkey. We love when couples include fun interactive elements in their wedding.

Inside the beautiful reception hall at Two Wishes Ranch, the couples served assorted desserts instead of a traditional wedding cake. Couples that swat from tradition for something unique are my favorite!

The wedding was planned by XO Moreau, an Austin-based creative that we love working with! The Teagues Photo was the amazing photography team - scroll down to see the gorgeous photos!

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.

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.

Ready to rent your own dream photo booth for your wedding? The romantic boxwood wall is waiting for you! Contact us today to start planning your photo booth rental in Austin, TX.

Kaley and George’s Opulent Wedding at Addison Grove in Austin, Texas

Two questions: 1. Are you ready to be absolutely WOWED? And 2. Have you ever seen so many white roses in your life?!

We are absolutely swooning over Kaley’s and George’s opulent and romantic wedding at Addison Grove in Austin, Texas. This wedding pulled out all the stops. 

Not only was their breathtaking venue covered in flowers and greenery, but they also gave their guests an amazing experience with a champagne bar, a live band, and a fireworks show. Yeah, we said fireworks. Does it get more romantic than that?

Of course, we had to create a gorgeous photo booth to match the rest of their wedding, so we covered our boxwood greenery wall with more sprigs of greenery and white roses. The guests had an amazing time in this custom photo booth!

We have to shout out the other amazing vendors who made this wedding so gorgeous and memorable. Remi + Gold hit it out of the park with the sweeping florals! Unique Design and Events upped the romantic vibe with their stunning drapery, and of course, we can’t forget the rocking band, Grooveline Dallas! 

The rest of the incredible vendors are listed below, and we have Brittany Jean Photo to thank for the amazing pictures!

After an unforgettable night of dancing, drinks, and the fireworks show, the newlyweds left the venue in a luxury ride through a lane of sparklers.

We love being part of amazing events like this one and flexing our creative muscles with one-of-a-kind photo booths! Contact us today to talk about your event.

Gold Shimmer Photo Booth for Erin and Alan’s Springdale Station Wedding Reception in Austin, Texas

Can a wedding have too much greenery? We think the answer is no, and we’re so glad that Erin and Alan agree. Their beautiful Springdale Station wedding was dripping in greenery, from the heart-shaped alter to the hanging greenery and rose chandeliers. It was breathtaking!

Lovelily Flowers killed it with the amazing florals for this wedding! Check out the gorgeous wreaths that the bridesmaids held as they walked down the aisle. They are such a unique touch, and we love that they reused them as decor for the reception.

We added to the night with our gold shimmer photo booth, which perfectly matched the couple’s color scheme. The photo booth was a great place for guests to escape when they needed a break from the dance floor but still wanted to have fun. Plus, the booth gives the bride and groom a moment alone together during the business of the day.

You can even spot the booth shimmering in the background of some of the dancing photos. We’ve said it all along: our luxury backdrops make your event look better! 

From the amazing photos from Nikk Nguyen Photo, you can tell that Erin and Alan’s guests had a great time. They danced the night away, played cornhole, and enjoyed some delicious gin and tonics.

Best wishes to the bride and groom! Looking for a custom photo booth for your next Austin area event? Let’s chat!

Jaron and Amber’s Timeless and Intimate Wedding at Prospect House in Dripping Springs, Texas

We love an elegant affair, and that’s exactly how Jaron and Amber’s wedding at Prospect House in Dripping Springs, Texas felt. From the champagne flute seating chart to the natural wood tableware, this wedding had a timelessness that never goes out of style.

With long light-wood tables decorated with naturalistic elements like greenery and neutral chiffon runners, the reception felt like an intimate family dinner. The family style pizza dinner by Fire and Slice added a cozy touch, and you can tell from the gorgeous photos by Nikk Nguyen that Jaron and Amber’s guests were immediately at ease and having fun. 

For the photo booth, the couple opted to skip a backdrop and use the clean white shiplap wall instead. We personally love this choice because all of the photos match the aesthetic of the reception venue perfectly. 

Offering flexible and customizable options is one of the things we do best at Oh Happy Day Booth. If your venue already has a great spot for a photo booth without a backdrop, we say go for it! We think it was the perfect choice for Jaron and Amber’s timeless wedding.

However, just because a wedding is timeless and elegant doesn’t mean it’s not a party. Thanks to DJ Byrne Rock, the happy couple and their guests ruled the dance floor for hours.

We wish Jaron and Amber all the best! To customize a perfect photo booth for your wedding, party, or corporate event, get in touch today!

Our response to covid-19 in the world of photo booths

PHOTO BY SMS PHOTOGRAPHY

Updated on 9/21/2021

A note from our owner, Kelsey Harrison:

As the impact of COVID-19 continues, I wanted you to hear directly from me about the mitigation efforts that Oh Happy Day Booth has enacted to reduce the risk of infection of our team members, our clients, and their guests. My focus remains on supporting our Oh Happy Day Booth team, while at the same time doing my part to preserve the health, safety, and well-being of all those with whom we come in contact.

I think it is extremely safe to assume that everyone has been significantly impacted by COVID-19 in one way or another. The entire photo booth industry relies on a healthy events industry, and the events industry relies on the ability for us to be able to come together as a community and celebrate special days. As we look toward the future and anticipate what it holds for us, we at Oh Happy Day Booth work every day to ensure the level of customer service our clients are accustomed to is not diminished.

We continue to closely monitor and assess this evolving situation, and any changes in company policies and procedures regarding COVID-19 precautions will be based on scientific studies and official reports, and any changes we make will be updated here. I can’t emphasize just how much I am itching to get back to celebrating in full swing, and I am making sure that we are able to get to that point as safely as possible by expanding and refining our safety policies. If you have any personal questions requirements or preferences, please email me at hello@ohhappydaybooth.com and we will do our best to accommodate within reason.

1. Masks // In addition to their usual all-black and white attire, our staff will be required to wear masks at all times while on the property for an event.

2. Portrait Booth and Glam Booth activations // For the foreseeable future, our team members will monitor the photo booth from afar, keeping an eye on the booth at all times, but limiting direct interactions with guests. Your point of contact will always know where our team member is located, and the team member will be there in a flash if something happens like the printer paper and ink need replenishing! We love our clients, and care about their guests, and want to be there to support them on their big day and by physically distancing our team members from the booth itself, we are able to make sure they are healthy for our couples the following weekend as well. To accommodate this distancing, we have changed and optimized our start screen graphics for these services so the photo booth process is seamless and straightforward to ensure guests are able to use the booths without the hands-on assistance of a team member.

3. Sanitized Selfie Stations // Our Selfie Station rentals will operate as usual, but our staff will sanitize everything before the event begins and at the end of the rental.

4. No props // We know this is a significant bummer, but there is no feasible way to properly sanitize every prop between guests, so we will be foregoing props for the foreseeable future. Clients who have this upgrade as part of their package are encouraged to choose another upgrade as an alternative!

5. Photo guest books // For clients who would like to stick with their photo guest book, guests can pick up a clean pen from one bin and put it into one labeled ‘used’ when they are done. Pens will be sanitized between events.

6. Sanitizing all equipment before and after events // All our equipment will be sanitized before and after events, and all our boxes and equipment will be sanitized inside our storage facility as well.

7. Increased pay // All of our team members providing services at events are doing so with the utmost caution to ensure your guests have a great time. During this season and for the foreseeable future, Oh Happy Day Booth has increased their hourly rate without raising client costs. If you feel so compelled, any and all tips given to the booth attendants during events will be retained by the team member working the event, and would be greatly appreciated.

What we are requesting from our clients:

1. Masks // Please encourage your guests to wear masks. This has been proven by the CDC to protect other people from getting sick if you are sick, even when asymptomatic. This is a really wonderful way to respect your hardworking vendors whose lives depend on being able to work events every weekend.

2. Set up location // If it is possible to put us away from the dance floor and other major foot traffic spots, that is ideal.

3. Following the CDC’s minimum standard health protocols // We know rules are no fun, but they’re here to protect us all. Please encourage your guests, planner, vendors, and venue to follow appropriate guidelines regarding large events.

Building a Moodboard with Olive & Belle Events

In a world with Pinterest, have you caught yourself losing focus on what you envision for your wedding day? We’re here to help make your wedding feel a little more like you! So you’ve pinned thousands of ideas -- now what?! We’re going to break down the moodboard building process so your visions can go from been-there-done-that to omg-this-feels-like-us!

1.     Choose colors. When selecting colors, keep both you and your partner’s preferences in mind. A good way to do so is by taking note of the color in your home and closet. There are no rules to how many colors you should select, but we think it’s best to start simple and grow from there. Start by selecting 2-3 main colors and 1-2 accent colors. It’s always important include neutrals within the palette, too!

2.     Gather non-wedding inspiration images. These can include interiors, patterns, textures, street style, art...anything! Choose images that inspire you and fit within your color palette. Take specific note of the way the images make you feel and start to understand what it is that attracts you to the photo. This can help when selecting vendors that match your style later on.

 3.     Select a few wedding inspiration images. Your wedding should reflect you and your partner, so keep in mind these are simply for inspiration and not to take exact ideas. You want to keep your moodboard pretty general in this way since the focus is on an overall feeling, so try not to get too caught up in specifics. Think about the feelings, photography, colors, and expressions when selecting wedding-related images. If you have your heart set on something specific, though, go ahead add it!

 4.     Choose fonts. Be as picky as possible! Look for a font that combines both you and your partner’s style while reflecting the kind of impression you want to give to your guests. This font will help set the tone of the event and can be used on all stationary goods and signage. Are you hosting a more formal event? Look for a serif or cursive font. Going for a more casual or laid-back vibe? Sans serif is a good way to go!

 5.     The final step is our absolute favorite! Add personal verbiage. Take parts of your love story and turn them into phrases. Pay close attention to the words you select so that they match your vibe. Thesaurus.com is your best friend here! If you’re having a hard time articulating your love story into words, start by doing a brain dump! Write down all inside jokes, significant locations, major milestones, and the timeline of your relationship.

The finished product should be something you and your partner love! Hang it on your refrigerator and look at it everyday for a week or so. If there’s anything that bothers you when you look at it, make changes. Once you’ve decided you love everything about it, move forward in selecting vendors that align with your vibe and decor (and a photo booth backdrop, of course!) that complement your style. Sending your moodboard to vendors from the beginning can help both you and the vendor determine if you’re a good fit!
