Hosting a SXSW Event? Take it Up a Notch With a Luxury Photo Booth!

Our favorite week in Austin is almost here: South by Southwest! Once a year this film and music festival gathers the most creative people to our city and you can feel the buzz from having them all in one place. Austin is the perfect host for such a monumental festival, and we love joining in on the party!

Are you or your company hosting an event for SXSW this year? Here’s how a luxury photo booth rental will take it up a notch.

Give Party-Goers Something More Fun Than a Red Carpet

SXSW has enough red carpets and fancy photo opportunities. A photo booth gives attendees a chance to let their hair down and have fun. You can’t snap goofy face photos on a red carpet, but you can in a photo booth! 

Photo booths are also more fun because you can balloons, streamers, neon signs, props, and more fun elements. You can also create custom branded photo strip templates to get your name circulating.

Get More People to Your Party

All week long during the festival there are amazing parties, concerts, and comedy shows happening. How do you compete and get more people to your public event? By offering the best vibe and fun things to do!

A photo booth mobilizes your party-goers. You can’t simply serve drinks and expect people to stand around and talk anymore. They need something memorable to take part in. 

Along with a photo booth rental, consider offering other interactive elements like games, a live painter, or a cigar roller.

Create Buzz With Instant Social Sharing

All of our photo booth rentals offer instant sharing so that guests can post to social media right away. Whether they create photos of GIFs, they can post them and tag you to create more buzz for your party. 

If you’re throwing multiple parties throughout the week, instant sharing is a great way to get the word out and draw a bigger crowd to the next one. 

Give Your Guests a Memorable Keepsake to Take Home With Them

Old school is back! Along with instant sharing, guests love having a physical photo strip to take home with them. It serves as a great party favor and will remind them how much fun they had at your event (which will make them come back next year!). 

Like we said before, the more you can offer your guests, the more they’ll show up and engage with your brand. A photo booth strip is perfect because it’s custom and personal.

Capture Behind-the-Scenes Moments of Your Cast

Hosting a party for your cast and crew to celebrate your amazing film premiere? Give your hardworking team a chance to let loose in the photo booth! They’ll love having a keepsake from this amazing time in their lives. 

Plus, if this is the first time your whole cast and crew has been together since you shot the film, it’s a great way for them to reconnect and have fun together.

Go All Out With Your SXSW Photo Booth

Everything is bigger in Texas, and SXSW is not a time to play it small! Instead of a traditional photo booth backdrop, why not up the ante with a streamer backdrop? Why not add a fun balloon garland or neon sign? Scroll through our photos below to see what we can do at Oh Happy Day Booth!

Your SXSW event isn’t complete without a photo booth. Trust us, your guest will love it and always remember how much fun they had at your party!

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!

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!

Classic Black and White Photo Booth for Camp Lucy Wedding in Dripping Springs, TX

You know that old saying, “why ruin a classic?” Well, we think it totally applies to photo booths! As much as we love decking out the booth with bold colors, streamers, and balloons, there’s something so classic and pretty about black and white photos with the perfect crisp white backdrop.

That’s what Crystal and Jason opted for at their stunning wedding at Camp Lucy in Dripping Springs, Texas. We seriously can’t get over the gorgeous views at this venue!

Camp Lucy is an ideal spot for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. Thanks to Texas weather, you can have an outdoor ceremony in November and no one will complain, especially with a view of the hill country behind the altar!

Everything about Crystal and Jason’s wedding was straight out of a storybook, from their gorgeous florals by Whim Hospitality to their timeless wedding cake by Feathers and Frosting. That’s why the black and white photo booth backdrop was the perfect choice for them!

The best part is that choosing a classic photo booth doesn’t mean that it isn’t a party in the booth. Their guests had a great time posing and using the hats, and they got to take home their photos as a keepsake of the big day!

Another detail we’re obsessed with is the disco balls hanging from the greenery over the dance floor. It’s another great way to blend classic elements with fun surprises that turn an event into a party. Thank you Caitlin Rose Photo for the amazing images!

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.

GIF Photo Booth for Geraldine’s Holiday Disco Bar & Lounge in Austin, Texas

We may not get snow in Austin, but here at Oh Happy Day Booth, we can still make your snow globe dreams come true! Geraldine’s celebrated the holidays in style with their holiday disco bar and lounge, and the event was a huge hit.

For the booth, we set up the Selfie Station with a custom snow globe template that added a sprinkle of winter wonderland magic. The guests had a blast creating their own GIFs! Geraldine’s opted to skip the backdrop and use the party as the background! We think that was a great call since the Christmas tree completed the snow globe look.

The other magical part of the Selfie Station is that guests can instantly send their GIFs and photos to themselves and share them on social media asap. No waiting until the end of the event for a gallery link (although we send that to the hosts too!). 

We love being part of holiday celebrations. In fact, we thought we’d share some behind-the-scenes snapshots of the photo booth so you can see what it’s like from our angle. Watching guests have a blast in the booth + the gorgeous Christmas tree in the background = the best view of the night! 

If you’re planning a holiday party this year, we’ve got a booth to match your event. You can get guests moving and grooving with the Selfie Station or go for a more classic option with the Portrait Booth! 

Either way, we love making winter wonderland dreams come true with custom photo templates, luxury backdrops, and other great features. Contact us today to dream up the perfect Austin area photo booth rental for your holiday bash!

The Perfect Sparkly Gold Holiday Party Photo Booth Backdrop

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We love partnering with organizations and companies on corporate holiday parties to help them celebrate their hardworking teams! They’re such a great way to gather people together, honor all of the accomplishments over the last year, and have some outside-of-work fun.

With so much of the world still working from home and connecting via zoom, a corporate holiday party is a perfect way to make face-to-face connections with your team. 

If you ask us, no corporate shindig is complete without a photo booth! Corporate events can accidentally tip-toe on being boring without the right planning. You can easily turn a stiff gathering into an all-out party when you break out the photo booth!

Here are some other ways to liven up corporate events:

• Raffle off exciting prizes

• Bring in a live band

• Serve amazing food and drinks

• Turn it into a trivia night

• Bust out a karaoke machine

The sparkly gold photo booth backdrop is perfect for corporate holiday parties. We used it for the YPO holiday party recently and it was a stunner! We love how much fun the party-goers had with the Christmassy props too!

Looking for a different kind of sparkle? We also have sparkly silver, rose gold, black, navy, and purple backdrops! For a more casual look, you can go with our classic green or black backdrop. We can also use your logo to create a custom luxury backdrop for your holiday party. 

Reach out today to start planning your holiday party photo booth!

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!

We also have to give a shout-out to all the amazing food and dessert vendors. The authentic Texas tacos from TacoMan512 were a huge hit, and how cute are the custom TikTok cookies from Hayley Cakes and Cookies?

All of the amazing vendors are listed below. A huge thank you to Allie Atkisson Imaging for the jaw-dropping photos!

We had a blast helping make the TikTok Austin employees feel appreciated for all their hard work, and we hope they had just as much fun in the booth. Want us to be part of your next epic office party? Contact us today about a custom photo booth rental in Austin!
