News and Events

It’s sad that other companies try to fool others by trying to be something (or someone) that they’re not. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; however, when it comes to someone’s very special day, or a corporate event going for the best, or even a backyard party, it doesn’t sit right with us that other companies are using KC Photobooth (or some form of our name) as a way to trick potential clients into thinking they are us.

Be sure you’re getting the REAL KC Photobooth! There seem to be many crazy photobooth companies out there who are trying to fool you into thinking they are KC Photobooth. There is only one KC Photobooth, and that’s us! Be sure to ask for Patty or Adam to be sure that you are getting the very best photobooth in Kansas City! Having been the first authentic photobooth company in KC, and now in our 5th year of business, we have the experience and know-how to make your event unforgettable. We know how to Capture the Spirit of Your Event!

MCC – Longview called KC Photobooth because they just wanted a photobooth on a random day for their students! We set up in the commons/cafeteria area, and the students had a blast! After they realized that the photostrips were free (as they are with 99.9% of our events – we only charge if the client requests that we do; we all know the sayings about college students’ budget), they didn’t have any problem with hopping in the photobooth to have some fun. They kept us busy from that moment on until it was time for us to go. Check out what they came up with in the photobooth!

This was the third time that KC Photobooth provided a photobooth for Olathe Northwest High School. Last school year’s events included Homecoming and Prom. This year’s Homecoming theme was “Escape to Paradise” and had a tropical, Hawaiian feel. The students, and even some chaperones, had a great time getting in and out of the photobooth, in between dance numbers, making high school memories that they’ll have forever. Check it out!

The University of Kansas Student Union Activities Council decided to have KC Photobooth back again this year for their Student Union Activities Carnival. The Carnival is a “Welcome Back” for the students. They always have carnival rides, including The Sizzler and two different ferris wheels! KC Photobooth was positioned between the DJ and the air-brush tattoos, but no one had any trouble finding where we were! We think they even had more fun with the photobooth this year than they did last year!

The students and faculty, alike, had a blast hopping into the photobooth with props, provided by the SUA Council, making sure they made the craziest photostrips possible! We even provided a new offering, as requested by KU – we made it to where the backdrop in the photobooth was KU red instead of just white! We may have to look further into this offering!

But while we’re thinking about it, be sure to check out how much fun these college students had!

The University of Missouri – Kansas City has built a new Student Union Building. August 22^nd was the grand opening of the building, and what better way to celebrate than to have a photobooth for students to take pictures in? There’s only one thing better: having TWO photobooths! We provided both of our extended photobooths for their grand opening celebration. There were tours of the new building and they even provided free food for the students who showed up. There was even an amount of time where the students had been told that they couldn’t get free food unless they could show a photostrip with them in the pictures! Let’s just say the line was very long during that time period; we didn’t have time to breathe the entire time we were there. Everyone was having soooo much fun!

There was a twist to having the photobooth there as well. Since the photobooth prints duplicate copies every time it prints, we dressed one copy up the way we do and put the other copy into UMKC’s own photo guestbook. We have been told that the photo guestbook is being put into the University Archives, where future generations can see the fun that everyone had at the grand opening of the Student Union Building.

Thanks for letting KC Photobooth be a part of UMKC’s celebration! We had a great time!

Lee’s Summit West had an event called Project Graduation for the 2010 Graduating Seniors on Sunday night after Graduation. It was held at Sports City in Blue Springs and it started at 10PM and lasted until 3AM!! The students really enjoyed the photobooth, as well as other attractions: Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Football, Video Arcade, Sumo Wrestling, Human Velcro Wall, Bungee Run, a hypnotist and Mix 93.3 DJ Steve Serrano! Plenty of sugar, caffiene, pizza and donuts kept the graduates going early into the morning! It was a lot of fun…but sleep felt pretty good afterward!

Check out these pictures!

The Rockhurst EMBA had an event at the Plaza Library on May 8th and we were so happy to be invited! The planner decided to go out and buy a few props for guests to use in the photobooth. Well, $200 later, these pictures are awesome and the props were a HIT!

Thank you for allowing us to “Capture the Spirit” of your event!

The International Culinary School hosted culinary students from all over the country to participate in a cooking competition on May 1 and 2. To help them recover from the stresses of the competition, the Arts Institute of Kansas City hosted a dinner for all the students with gourmet food, tours of the culinary institute and, of course, photobooth pictures! The students had a blast and got to take pictures of their new found friends home with them to remember their trip. What a great idea!

Raytown High School had their 2010 Senior Prom at Town Pavilion on May 1, 2010! High school events are always a blast and this event did not disappoint! There was a line the entire night and a lot of great pictures were taken.

We would love to be included in events next year!

Olathe Northwest High School had their 2010 Senior Prom on April 24, 2010. We were honored to be invited back for Prom after such a successful 2009 Homecoming in the Fall!

The ONW Parents and Faculty should be proud of students! These students are more respectful and patient than some adult wedding guests! They are always a joy to be around and we’re so glad that the students enjoy the photobooth so much!

We hope to be invited back for next year’s dances!
