Posted on October 4th, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
I just happened to be meeting some friends for breakfast in the Meatpacking district in New York last weekend which gave me a chance to visit out MagBooth at the Keihl’s boutique. The photo booth wall is an ever changing spectrum of Kiehl’s enthusiast that include New Yorkers, tourists and even the occasional celebrity. Check [...]
Buttons by Magbooth
Posted on September 5th, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
We here at Magnolia Photo Booth Co. are always trying out new things. I remember as a kid making buttons out of old magazine cutouts. With all the great pictures our MagBooths take it seems an obvious fit for some amazing button magic. Well the idea has popped up a few times over the years [...]

The Magnolia Photo Booth September Trolly Hop happened this last week and as always it was a glorious time. We had two new add ons that we were testing out.

So here at MagBooth’s R and D Department we are constantly pushing the envelope of how much fun you can have using one of our Photo Booths. On a recent trip to LA in Maggie (the PofA Van), I came back with a handful of ideas. Coming soon to your event…. The ability to make [...]

Magbooth Hits Home
Posted on July 6th, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
With the onslaught of wedding season, Heather and I have been trying to juggle email accounts full of book responses, lost passwords, photo edits, logo designs and the occasional taunting from Victor. The weekends as of late have also been very matrimonially mashed too, as we’re often able to work events on the weekends to [...]

Wedding Season Update
Posted on June 22nd, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
We are in the middle of wedding season here at the Magbooth headquarters and I’m busy making photo booths happen happily in New York, Chicago, Louisville and Austin… which means very little time for blogging and lots of post-its instead.
The work we do.
Posted on June 22nd, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
Today at magbooth was not dark and dreary at all. I don’t know why all the pictures I took on my hipstamatic suggest so!
Out with the old…..
Posted on June 21st, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
MagBooth.com just had a major facelift. Our website has gone through some changes over the years and we just rebuilt the entire site using wordpress. Hopefully it is just as easy to navigate as the old site with some new features that make it even more enjoyable. We now have two blogs hosted directly on [...]
Evan’s Maiden Magbooth Voyage
Posted on May 11th, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
This past weekend I was given the opportunity to take a little work trip down to Austin, TX. After hearing we needed someone to work a wedding down there, my volunteering hand shot in the air like a kid yearning to answer the next Geography question. Although the trip was short, it produced quite a [...]
An Indiana boy comes to Magtown
Posted on May 5th, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
After graduating last August, I moved back to the Louisville area to work for a local book publisher. It was there that I was introduced to Magbooth’s work through a friend who also doubled as an event worker.

Fallen Trees and Bacon
Posted on April 11th, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
This is how my morning started. Owning the best photo booth company in the world has it’s perks but it also has it’s shortcomings. One of them is not getting a lot of sleep. I just got back to our Louisville office a couple days ago but I have been working super long hours which [...]
Cultural Differences
Posted on March 22nd, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
When I first started my dream job here at Magnolia Photo Booth Co. people couldn’t quite understand. When the common “so…what do you do” question came up, I would tell them proudly, “I’m the manager of a photo booth company.” In return I would get weird head nods and awkward replies like “just photo booths [...]

Posted on March 10th, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
She will be missed. Well… only for a month. Heather of Team Magbooth is going on an organic farming adventure to the great state of Washington. She will be gone for a month crushing worms and playing in the dirt. We wish her all the best and we all expect awesome gifts upon her return.

Magbooth Mixtape
Posted on January 26th, 2011, in MagBooth Blog
One of my favorite things about my co-workers is they all love music! And you never know what will be spinning at the Magbooth Headquarters. For example, at this very moment I am playing Nick Drake in the main area while Heather and Victor are in their office playing Whitney Houston. Some days it’s Disney [...]

Lately I haven’t had much time to browse my favorite blogs because I’ve been up to my ears processing contracts here in the office. But I’m not complaining! It just means Magbooth is taking over the world and I get to be part of the craziness. Today though I did take a few minutes to [...]

why we do this
Posted on December 12th, 2010, in MagBooth Blog
Something so simple as getting your picture taken is something that most of us, myself included, don’t even think twice about. But for some, it can mean so much more. I recently worked an event at a medical respite center, where homeless men and women were given the chance to get in the Magbooth. The [...]

Picture an amazing beach wedding… Do you have that in your mind’s eye? Where are you? Florida? Hawaii? How about Chicago? That’s right.

Photo Booths & Barns
Posted on November 4th, 2010, in MagBooth Blog
Recently I had a NYC client ask if the photo booth could make it to a wedding that was taking place in a barn. First reaction, my heart swooned! As much as I love weddings the ones that take place outside, more specifically, weddings which take place in barns are my absolute favorite. If you’re [...]

Magbooth Theme Song
Posted on October 20th, 2010, in MagBooth Blog
Lately I’ve been listening to more mixes and electronic based music, a far cry from my usual folky low key selections (which are still my favorite). But sometimes I just wanna dance and shake it! You know what I mean right??? By the middle of the day I need a little pick-me-up here in the [...]
I Spy . . .
Posted on October 19th, 2010, in MagBooth Blog
I spy a Magbooth photo! Today I was browsing DesignSponge (my favorite blog ever!) and spotted our infamous four square grid photo (bottom image) in one of their posts. If you’re not familiar with DS I highly recommend heading over this minute to peruse their sneak peek section for some guilty pleasure daydreaming. The two [...]

Customized, Personalized, Awesomized
Posted on September 15th, 2010, in MagBooth Blog
I’m the type of person who loves when things are created with purpose and an attention to detail. For example, I wear a signet ring with my initials. Someday I wish to own a pair of jeans made from scratch and tailored just for my liking. And I covet anything monogrammed . . . [...]

Late to the altar…
Posted on July 9th, 2010, in MagBooth Blog
Here’s an interesting little tidbit about this photo: while the groom and the rest of the wedding guests were outside waiting… these ladies were having the time of their lives in the Magbooth. I wouldn’t say the bride was actually late to the alter… but she was certainly delayed! It was one of the best [...]
Staci is my new BFF
Posted on July 9th, 2010, in MagBooth Blog
I’m sure it goes without saying that sending price quotes day-in and day-out is probably not my favorite thing in the whole wide world – it just gets a little old. But then there are the days that I log-in… and I have a little gem like this sitting in my awaiting quotes pile. This [...]
