When choosing a photo booth company for your photo booth hire, either for your wedding, corporate event or party, choosing the right company is an important decision to make.

Firstly are the photo booth hire company full time?

We feel this is the most important factor because if the company are full time, there is always somebody to answer your questions during the working week, either by telephone or email.

How many photo booth hires does the company perform each week?

If you dig a little deeper and view the event images you can see if the photo booth hire company are constantly delivering for all their other customers, this should give you confidence when booking your photo booth hire for your important event. You can view our event gallery here and it will give you a snap shot of how many happy customers we have and how much fun the photo booth hire can be for your wedding party or event http://www.onlinepictureproof.com/pictureblast/albums/photo_booth_images

What features do you get with your photo booth hire?

Whilst the main point of hiring a photo booth is for the instant prints, the extra features that come with the photo booth make the experience a whole lot better for you and your guests

All our photo booths have touch screens, the main benefit of this is it gives your guests the choice between colour and black & white prints each time they visit the photo booth.

Our photo booths also perform video messaging, this is a major bonus especially for weddings and birthday parties as the booth will also allow your guests to leave you a 15 second video message. We then make you a DVD movie containing all the video messages left for you and the best part is, we don't charge you an extra penny for it with your photo booth hire. You can view a sample of the quaility of the video messaging we offer for free here.

The party photo booth and the super photo booth also have inbuilt wind machines with an on/off switch. This is great fun for adding that extra bit of excitement for your guests when they enter the photo booth, again, this is free with your photo booth hire.

Finally, new for November 2011 we have our facebook, twitter and email remote station being launched. This will allow your guests the option of sharing their photos instantly once they have been in the photo booth and had their prints. Your guests would simply select their images from the touch screen terminal that will be on a table away from the photo booth and they can choose to upload them directly to their own facebook wall, or they can tweet them, or simply send them to their email account.

So overall the extra features that Picture Blast offers with in the standard photo booth hire package adds so much more value to your booking.

The Australian travel board wanted to add a bit of fun to their promotion in Southampton, and by hiring the Super Photo Booth form us they did just that.

Our photo booth had green screen enabled to give the customers a choice between having their pictures taken in western Australia or having them taken in the gold coast.

They simply sat in the photo booth, and using the touch screen they selected the back ground they wanted, then the photo booth took 4 pictures and instantly printed.

We also allowed people to email their prints to themselves from the photo booth along with a promotional message from the travel board, and we provided them with all the email address the booth captured.

The photo booth hire proved a massive success bringing hundreds of people over to the stand and delivering perfect Australian background print after print!

We have been busy linking up with The Coventry Sphinx Football Club to become their official club sponsors.

The Coventry Sphinx have a long history and are the highest non league football club in Coventry.

Below is an action picture taken in one of their pre season friendlies against Coventry City, we lost 4-3 but the boys played well and are a credit to themselves, especially against Championship opposition!

One of the longest single photo booth hires at a whopping 28 hours covering the Trek Bontrager Twentyfour12 race in Plymouth.

The idea was for us to capture the emotion of the race with a branded traditional photo booth by having the riders have pictures and leave video messages in the booth throughout the day and night.

The pictures were then stuck on a wall for all to see. The booth was a roaring success with hundreds of pictures and videos captured!

Because so many people love the wind machines in our Super Photo Booths we have decided to upgrade all the Party Photo Booths to include them.

They have an off/on switch and can be used to create even more fun with your photo booth hire.

The machines are fairly powerful and will move your hair making allowing you to go for that glamour shot!

So adding the wind machine to the HD Video Messaging, HD cameras, Email, Facebook, when it comes to selecting what company to use for your photo booth hire, there is no other company that can offer you anywhere near what we offer in terms of technology and service, and certainly on price too!

Picture Blast were delighted to provide River Island with a fully branded photo booth to promote their Chelsea Girl clothing brand.

The classic photo booth was located in Selfridges in Oxford street London and managed to deliver 8,800 prints in the 21 days and bring fun and laughter to all that had their picture.

Our booths have now all been upgraded offering a touch screen giving our guests 3 options when they enter the booth "touch here for Black & White photos", "touch here for Colour photos" and "touch here to leave a video message" (any of the options can be disabled also if desired).

The video is recorded in HD meaning it is the highest quality, even on play back on the biggest of screens. We then compile you a DVD for you to watch at home after your booth hire.

Our booths also have cool features like email and facebook upload, this is where you provide us with your face book details and our booths will create an album on your profile and upload the images taken from the booth instantly to your album!

All the above is included free with all hires and on all booths, so if you are looking for a photo booth hire there is no better place than PictureBlast..

Sarah took the time out to send us this email below, a big thank you to Sarah and Ian for booking PictureBlast and congratulations on your wedding:

"Hi Guys,

Just wanted to send a HUGE thank you for being so amazing at our wedding a couple of weeks ago. The whole service from start to finish was fantastic and the actual photo booth was the best thing I booked for the whole wedding!

All my guests absolutely loved it (many thanks to Danny for being so patient with them!), made full use of the booth and haven't stopped talking about it since! From my perspective, it was amazing getting all the prints of my guests in the book and we cant stop looking through it- it is incredible value for money and is so little hassle (the booth arrived and disappeared with no help required!) that I would honestly recommend it to anyone that would listen!

Thank you so so much

Sarah and Ian Murphy"

We were delightled to be asked to take our Black Classic booth to Alan Shearer's 40th Birthday Party.

The Party was held in a marquee at Alan's house, and  what a party it was!

The booth went down an storm delivering over 500 prints.

Some famous faces in the booth were the brillant Ant & Dec, Alan Hansen, Alan Shearer (obviously!), Shay Given and Steve Bruce just to name a few...The party was a who's who for footballers past and present (and great for me being a football fan)..

Alan also had our guest book meaning all guests left him a special message for him to look back on for years to come.

It's always nice to get great feedback, but we received a massive A3 "Thank You" card with the line "Brilliant fun, Brillant service, just utterley brilliant!" from Lisa & Lee for a photo booth we provided for their recent wedding, and I must say it put a few smiles on our faces in the office and the card has taken centre stage!

Hi Joe,

I just wanted to send a note of thanks to you and your team for our leaving party on Saturday 12th June. As you can see by the pics, everyone got into the spirit to which is was intended, and all my friends are still talking about it!

My partner and I have a passion for photography, so having the opportunity to capture the moment with all our friends, and not be on the other side of the camera gave us more time to socialise properly which was great.

Your team were very punctual and professional, doing their jobs well, and always being on hand if anyone had any questions. I think they were surprised they were offered a good old cup of tea after there long drive.

Once again, a big THANKS from us, you will be highly recommended.

Best regards

Ru"

"Hi guys,

We would love to say a big thank you for what you did on our wedding (17/4/10) it was amazing and so well thought of and your 2 guys couldnt do enough for us, even the oldies got in and had fun......... it made our day!!"

"Hi Joe,

Just wanted to say massive thank you for everyone at your team that helped make our wedding on 15th May such a special day.

The you tube video is excellent and the dvd in the post today was a lovely touch.

An excellent service, excellent product, well done and thank you.

Lee & Lisa"

"We would both like to say a big thank you to you and all the staff at Picture Blast for making our wedding reception on 3/4/10 extra special. The service that we received from your company was exceptional and far beyond our expectation. Many of our guests spoke about how much fun the booth was for young and old. We won't be surprised if you get some more business from our guests in the future. The album is also an amazing keepsake that we will treasure for a long time. Please send special thanks to your two staff members who helped on the day. They were lovely people and were so helpful - we hope they enjoyed the night as much as we did.

Kind regards

Gemma and Lee Ellis"

Well it has finally arrived, the new booth has landed. We have been working so hard on this booth to make it the best in the market. It is packed with features such as ceiling mounted lighting (big deal I hear you say, but it is the small little details that make all the difference!) a wind machine for the glamour shot and external live image projection to entertain your guests watching from a distance.

The booth is the largest solid booth on the market and it can hold upto 8 adults. The benefit of being a solid structure is appearance as the booths look so much better than a few poles and curtains plus they have the wow factor and the physical appearence to make an impact at your party.

You can see on the image how well the booth goes down, it is certainly a crowd pleaser and the star attraction..

"Just a quick note to say a massive thank you for the Photo Booth at our wedding, the staff were friendly and helpful.  The photos are great and have given us something to really remember, some to really forget too! It is a great idea and I'm sure you'll be getting some calls from some of our friends soon.Thanks again."

"I've just returned from my honeymoon, and i would just like to THANK YOU for doing such a fantastic job at the wedding. It was the talk of the wedding....everyone had so much fun with the props and being very silly. The album was amazing and we have had fun reading everyone's comments - a brilliant idea!!!!"

We covered lots of Christmas parties and also some weddings during a busy December, many thanks to Starbucks, HSBC, Barclaycard, Orbis, Pencent Masons, The Arcadia Group, River Island, Canopius, Domestic & General, Slattery's, Zetes and the Edgebaston Cricket Ground for hiring a photo booth from Pictureblast, we are happy we were able to make your party extra special.

Revlon the cosmetics giant hired PictureBlast for their press launch at the Nobu Resturant in London. The images were cutomised with the Revlon Photo Ready logo, and using our beauty lighting the prints looked amazing and highlighted just how good Revolns product range really is!

We ventured north to Newcastle with a party booth for Tom & Josies wedding. Josie wanted to design her footer label herself using her design skills and I must say how good it looked on their prints...

Josie also emailed me the next day:

"THANK YOU SO MUCH! We had the best time, and Picture Blast was truly the icing on the cake - everybody loved it (and I was in in quite a lot it seems!!) We had the perfect morning, sat in bed looking through our album, absolutely laughing our heads off! The guys were brilliant, so helpful and made it really fun for everyone.  We've already started planning a big collage of the photos for our wall too"

Congratulations Tom & Josie..
