Fairytale Photo Booth for Canyonwood Ridge Wedding in Dripping Springs, Texas

Who doesn’t love a classic fairytale wedding? We are still swooning over Natalia and Emmanuel’s perfect day at Canyonwood Ridge in Dripping Springs, Texas!

We brought the black and white photo booth to the affair to compliment the romantic aesthetic. We love how their light-up sign pops off of the B&W photos, and it’s such a fun way to celebrate their new joint last name!

Elegant and classic weddings can still be a party, and Natalia and Emmanuel’s guests had a great time with the props in the booth. The photo booth photo strips also provided a fantastic personalized keepsake from the wedding that guests will cherish for a long time. 

We have to give a shout-out to this exceptional venue. Canyonwood Ridge has it all, including absolutely gorgeous ceremony and reception sites. It’s also only twenty minutes outside of downtown Austin, so it’s convenient for in-town guests, and your out-of-town guests have tons to explore.

We’re obsessed with the gorgeous floral cross altar by Wild Bunches! All of the florals for this wedding are breathtaking and set the perfect fairytale tone. 

The cakes from Sweet Treats Bakery are also gorgeous and elegant. Scroll down to see the photos from the wedding by the wonderful The Bird and The Bear Photography!

No matter what you want your dream wedding to look like, Oh Happy Day Photo Booth can provide a photo booth to match. We offer several booth and backdrop options and love getting creative to make our couple’s dreams come true. Contact us today to start planning for your wedding.

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!

Book Your SXSW Photo Booth Today!

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 Fall-Themed Photo Booth for ILEA Gives Back Event in Austin, Texas

Is anyone else missing those breezy fall days after the February freeze? We can’t help but reminisce over the colors and flavors of fall, so we’re flashing back to this amazing fall event we participated in!

The Austin Chapter of the International Live Events Association (ILEA) through another amazing party for members of the Austin events industry. This time it was family-friendly so that everyone could take part in the fun! Face painting, games, great music, amazing food, and a photo booth are the perfect elements for a party for the whole family.

We partnered with our sister brand, Pop & Drop, on a custom streamer backdrop photo booth. Aren’t the fall colors fun? The guests had an amazing time snapping photos, and we love how creative they got in the booth! 

For the printed photo templates, we created custom fall-themed templates that were super festive. 

The event took place at the Long Center in Austin, and we can’t get over the stunning skyline view! The gorgeous fall florals were designed by Bella by Sara, and the event was planned by the amazing Betts and Co. Events.

Thank you Sarah Tribett Photography for the beautiful photos! You can check out the full vendor list below. 

The Austin events community is bursting with creativity, and we love that ILEA gets everyone together. The fall festival also supported two amazing charities: The Search Foundation and Out Youth.

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.

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!

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.

Courtney and Brian’s Texas Themed Rehearsal Dinner

We love a rehearsal dinner that has a personalized theme! Courtney and Brian’s late March rehearsal dinner was a Texas-sized celebration, and you can tell from the photos how much love was in the room.

We brought our roaming photo booth to the party so that Courtney and Brian could get great shots of their guests in action. After posing for a photo, guests are able to send the photos to themselves immediately through our tablet. Plus, the bride and groom get a full gallery of the photos at the end of the evening. 

From the heartfelt toasts to the dance party, Courtney and Brian’s rehearsal dinner was a lovefest. What better way is there to spend the night before your wedding? We love that they used their decor to celebrate their Texas roots, and the light-up sign of their last name was another glowing personal touch. 

The dudes were decked out in cowboy attire, and can we talk about Courtney’s stunning rehearsal dinner dress? That’s how you do it, ladies and gents. Best wishes to the happy couple!

Wondering what type of photo booth is right for your upcoming event? At Oh Happy Day Booth, we offer a variety of services to meet your party needs. Check out the difference between our portrait booth and selfie station here, and learn more about roaming photography here.
