Hot Event Trends: Balloons!

We've always had a thing for balloons here at MDRN Photobooth Company. A couple years ago we started integrating balloons as props for our photo booths and ever since then we've kind of been hooked.  These fun shapes let us bring in cute oversized 3D props that people just can’t keep their hands off. They aren’t just for weddings but we really do love how the balloons add a highly stylized and fun element to this modern minimalist wedding.

We’ve even started playing around with having balloons as backdrops for our photo booth.  We like to keep things simple and clean just like in this Valentine's Day backdrop where we placed a bunch of white mylar hearts on our wall. We then commissioned the wonderful ChalkedByMabz to write some of our favourite Valentines Day quotes onto some balloons to serve as complementing props.

Over the years we’re really starting to see the trend for balloon installations start to pick up and we're excited to see some official professional balloon installation companies pop up here in Ottawa. One of these companies, and also the only one we feel lives up to our expectations, is called the Blåsa Balloons and they’re located in Kanata right near our studio! Well, we've teamed up with them to now be able to start offering our clients some really unique balloon backdrops for their events.

What does this partnership mean? Well, it means that all of our clients will get access to all their balloon creations directly through us. We will offer a full line of pre-made and custom designed balloon backdrops, garlands and arches for any MDRN Photobooth client. YAY!

In case you’re wondering who runs Blåsa Balloons, you won’t be surprised to know that it’s none other the Brittany Frid of Frid Events. Brittany is a well known, award winning wedding planner in Ottawa and we have had the pleasure of working with her over the years. We want to introduce you to Brittany Frid of Frid Events and Blåsa Balloons and thought what better way to do it then a 1 minute Feature Film.

Galentines day!

Is there a ba humbug equivalent to Valentine's day? Not everyone is all about the warm and fuzzies on Valentine's day which is why someone invented Galentine's day and we would like to thank that person. 

We are all for love but some of us are a little sarcastic in the head or maybe just really like wine more than humans, and that's okay too. We want to share with you our take on Galentine's day and we enlisted the help of our friends over at Chalked By Mabz and Satin and Snow to pull this one off. 

Happy Galentines day to everyone! 

Photobooth Inspiration: Modern Baby Shower

I can't think of words to describe this blog post. No one will say it better then Brittany West of Gloss Events did in her blog post so please do go read it here. 

We love how she incorporated the photobooth into this shower design which included transforming our warehouse into a soft and beautiful space. 

Sometimes, simple is the best way to go. For this event we used a single square image in a classic black & white photo and with the help of Wishtree Invitations incorporated the invitation art onto the template. We used the white wall of the space as our backdrop so that the booth wouldn't stick out to much in the decor. The lack of props allowed people to capture amazing memories and portraits which makes the album have so much more creativity. 

The event was masterfully captured by Jack Loves Mary Photography who we can't thank enough for actually capturing the booth in the images. We are often the forgotten element at any event probably because people assume that since the booth takes pictures there is no need to shoot it. I think the pictures below will show you just how awesome the interaction with our booth can be at any event. We absolutely love them. 

Congratulations to the mama(s) to be!

Christmas Party Photo Booth Rental Options

Wait? There are options?

There are! Who knew...? 

Christmas parties are a challenge to plan and while adding a photo booth rental is a great idea, there is more to our photo booth rentals then just taking pictures. Here are just a few ways you can spice up your Christmas party photo booth rental even more!

ANIMATED GIF BOOTH

Wether you pronounce it GIF or JIF, everyone loves these low res moving pictures. You might think that you have to chose between one or the other but I have good news, you don't! We can print out a picture template and make you an animated GIF at the same time! Let your imagination run wild! How about a neon Christmas with pink snow? 

Giant Balloon Props

If you're not really into the regular photo booth props or just really enjoy balloons as much as we do then oversized balloons are a great choice for your photo booth! There is this childlike awesomeness to playing with giant balloons. 

SANTA PICTURES

If you have kids attending your Christmas party then we would recommend bringing good old St. Nick along for the ride! Everyone will be super happy that they didn't have to drive to the mall, wait in line and pay for their santa photo and who doesn't love having their picture taken with Santa!
