Amber Lancaster's Bridal Shower Hosted by Nikki Lee

When Nikki Lee, one of Amber's besties, called and asked if Open Air Photobooth would be available for Amber Lancaster's bridal shower, we immediately said, "Yes"!

Originally introduced to Amber through Nikki Lee and Riawna Capri of 901 Salon in West Hollywood, we have become friends with the Actress, model, and interior designer. She is best known for playing Jenny Swanson on MTVs The Hard Times of RJ Berger, as well as being a model on The Price Is Right.

Open Air Photobooth has been on The Price Is Right several times and have always enjoyed the company of Amber Lancaster, Rachel Reynolds, Gwendolyn Osborne, and Manuela Arbeláez.

Nikki pulled out all the stops for this bridal shower! She brought in Laura Moll, photographer, and Lauren Ghani / Nu Leaf Design for floral arrangements. Lauren Lowstan baked a picture perfect cake adorned with pink flamingos! Open Air Photobooth was onsite to capture endless poses and hand out printed keepsakes! We utilized a horizontal wood slat wall for our one-of-a-kind photo backdrop!

Flip Books and Animated GIFs at Kate's Bat Mitzvah - Bacara Resort

Kate and her family had worked with Open Air Photobooth in the past and knew the excitement of making Flip Books and wanted to incorporate the experience into Kate's bat Mitzvah at the Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara.

Gina Andrews of Bon Fortune creates charming celebrations with attention to detail in the Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and Montecito areas. She is very sweet and we are excited each time she asks to incorporate our Open Air Photobooth rental services into one of her Santa Barbara events! This event was like her many others... picture perfect!

For the custom flip book wrap around covers, the Open Air Photo Booth graphic designer incorporated creative elements from other aspects of the event to seamlessly blend with the decor. The digital animated GIFs also bear one of the creative elements; a bright pink stylized font.

Congratulations Kate! Thanks for having us!

ILEA Industry event in Los Angeles

Last Wednesday, Open Air Photobooth sponsored the event industry mixer for the International Live Events Association (ILEA) Los Angeles Chapter. Event planners from the Los Angeles and greater southern California area gathered to “talk shop” and mingle with industry professionals. They asked us to provide a unique experience…. Something different than a simple photo booth. We suggested our portable flip book studio and digital animated GIFs…. They loved the idea!

The theme of this event was “Fiesta” so we dressed up our flat seamless white backdrop with papel picado banners to create a clean festive vibe.

Shown here are the hard working folks of Work the Room Productions letting loose!

The great thing about producing tangible flip books onsite at an event is that not only does the guest get a branded keepsake which they’ll flip through countless times, but the digital version is an animated gif which can be shared online to reach an endless audience! Email collection along with hosting of these animated GIFs really brings the uniqueness of flip books with the Open Air Photobooth full circle!
