BRISBANE WEDDING EXPO

Brisbane Wedding Expo

Planning your dream day should feel exciting, and the upcoming Brisbane Wedding Expo promises inspiration at every turn. On Sunday, 16 August 2026, Queensland Brides will bring its stylish boutique wedding event to Brisbane City Hall from 10am until 2pm.

Rather than navigating a crowded, concrete floor exhibition centre, couples can explore a thoughtfully curated collection of Queensland wedding professionals beneath one heritage listed roof. You can meet leading Brisbane venues, designers, florists, celebrants, photographers and other trusted suppliers. Meet suppliers face to face instead of via a screen!

Whether you recently became engaged or already have plans underway, this Brisbane Wedding Expo offers a wonderful opportunity to gather fresh ideas. Most importantly, it brings quality suppliers together in an elegant heritage setting. So, mark Sunday, 16 August in your iCal, gather your wedding crew and get this wedding thing done at Brisbane City Hall with your favourite people!

Photo Booth Mask DIY

EVENT INSPIRATION

Photo Booth Mask DIY

A photo booth mask will instantly inspire your guests’ creative juices – guaranteed. Better still, you can easily make your own DIY masks to match your event, your guests or even your favourite inside jokes.

For example, your masks could feature famous people, guests that can’t attend, your pets or favourite characters. Think a bride who’s the biggest Swiftie on earth or a groom who’s only request was a Star Wars themed cake. The possibilities really are endless!

A little prep work and some basic craft items will have your customised photo booth props the talk of your event. Simply place your creations near the photo booth (your attendant will be on hand to assist) and let your guests take over. Before long, someone will be posing as a celebrity, someone else will become your cat, and your quietest guest may create the winning instant print of the night!

IN THE BOOTH PROPS

DIY Photobooth Mask Instructions

Gather your supplies

Printed images: Around 20-25cm wide is a good rule of thumb for size. Print your chosen images on matte finish paper or card. Shiny paper will reflect the photo booth flash and make the mask less effective. Try Officeworks printing services for a wide choice of thicknesses and finishes.

How many? 4-6 custom printed props is a good amount. Not too many so the theme is lost, but not too few so every photo looks identical.

Backing board: Foam core or similar stiff craft board is great to ensure your photo booth mask creations are self supporting – you don’t want them drooping over! If you’ve got access to the right tools, thin ply will give your props a long shelf life as a bit of celebration memorabilia after the day!

Handles: You will need oversized paddle pop sticks, available from craft stores, or thin dowel from Bunnings for your handles.

How to

Cut out your prints: Use small, sharp scissors to cut out your photo booth mask. For best results, cut as close to or on the line of the image as you can.

Trace onto backing board: Use your print to trace the outline onto your foam core, cardboard or ply. Use a sharp Stanley knife to carefully cut out your backing board. Or, if you have access to a craft cutting machine such as a Cricut or your Dad has a jigsaw for your ply, it will be a cinch!

Glue on your print: With a paint brush, thinly spread photo safe glue onto your backing board or use double sided tape. Carefully line up your print and stick. Take it slow – you only get one shot at this step!

Attach your handle: Use Superglue to attach your hand to the back. However, be careful to not mark the front of your mark when you turn it over to glue on the handle.

Voila!

You’re done! Pack your photo booth prop creations carefully into a plastic crate with tissue paper so they don’t get damaged. Don’t forget to place them with other important items to take to your venue so they don’t get forgotten! Finally, all that’s left is to let your guests go to town and enjoy the results on your USB folio!

Enclosed Photo Booth Hire

Posted on 2026-07-162026-07-17 by In the Booth

OUR PHOTOBOOTHS

Enclosed Photo Booth Hire

When couples and event hosts search for Enclosed Photo Booth Hire, they usually expect more than a camera on a stand. Instead, they want a real photo booth experience. After all, the very word “photobooth” says it all. How can you have a photo “booth”….without the booth? 😉

At In the Booth, we only offer enclosed photo booths and always have done since our launch in 2009. An enclosed photo booth creates a sense of occasion. Guests step inside, close the curtain, and instantly enter their own moment. It’s why we always say there’s magic behind our velvet curtain! In addition, the booth itself becomes part of the entertainment, not just another piece of tech equipment in the corner.

Of course, photo quality matters too. Because our enclosed booths control lighting and background conditions, they help create consistent, flattering images throughout the event. Plus, guests enjoy a classic booth experience while still receiving modern features and beautiful prints.

Ultimately, In the Booth stays true to what photo booths have always been about since the early 1900’s. With our enclosed photo booth hire, you’re giving your guests a timeless experience with modern convenience.

OUR BOOTHS

One and done

Confused by how many “booth” models there are out there? we hear you. That’s why an In the Booth photobooth remains iconic. Booth models flooded the market because so many of them could only do one or two things. Our Australian made booths were specially designed to move with the times while remaining true to our vintage photo booth roots. We don’t chase trends and we don’t add every new digital product that appears from overseas. Instead we look inward, behind our own velvet curtain.

No ‘fish bowl’ effect

Remember the fun of having to jump into the passport booth as a kid? So do we. Pausing in front of an entire room for a photo can just feel…awkward. Our brides and grooms tell us they love the moment of total privacy the booth gives them during their busy wedding day. It’s a place to pause, a place to go crazy, a place to stop time….the point is, it’s what you make it. And for those that need to be the life of the party in full view, there’s always Guest Cam running right alongside the booth.

Video Messaging

Been checking out those telephones for hire where you can leave a message for the guest of honour? Well…we do that too 🙋‍♀️ Our video message feature records your guests’ heartfelt messages complete with sound AND video. Everything captured during your event will be supplied along with your booth photos on your USB folio. Because we only offer enclosed photo booth hire, all our booths can capture video messaging which isn’t possible within the open environment.

Controlled environment

An enclosed environment gives every guest a better photo booth outcome because it controls the setting from start to finish. Firstly, enclosed booths block harsh venue lighting and glare. Recording ‘booths’ have always existed for a reason! Guests will naturally take their turn and wait outside the booth for the current guests to exit. An open environment has very few borders and at busy events, things can get hectic.

No unsightly tech

Photo booths are built on tech. It’s just we’ve designed ours to be the prettiest girl at the ball! Our enclosed space was designed to completely hide all the required tech. We’ll let you in on a little trade secret – photo booth printers are ugly and noisy! Photo booths also require power leads to connect all the moving parts together. Everything our award winning booths needs to operate is fully concealed inside a pretty package.

Vintage style

Our booths were designed in 2009 to bring the luxe glamour of the earliest photo booths to events. People would capture their booth photos dresses in their finery – did you know that’s where the idea for photo booth props comes from? In the Booth retains the retro style of a bygone era with modern customisations to suit the wide variety of events we attend. We spend enough time today staring at screens – our booths retain the best of history.

Photobooth Hire Questions

EVENT PLANNING TIPS

Photobooth Hire Questions

Planning an event comes with a to-do list longer than the guest list, so it’s no wonder photobooth hire questions can get skimmed. However, those tiny inclusions matter more than most people realise. After all, a photo booth package should not leave you wondering where the prints are, who is running the booth, or whether your guests can actually take home their printed memories.

At first glance, many photo booth hire packages can look similar. They all promise fun and fabulous photos. Nevertheless, the real difference often hides in the fine print. Does the price include unlimited sessions? Are instant prints part of the deal? Will an attendant stay for the whole event? Are digital files, custom artwork, props, delivery, setup, and pack down included? Furthermore, will the booth you receive actually match the photos you saw online?

Because every celebration deserves smooth sailing, it pays to compare more than the headline price. Otherwise, that “great deal” can quickly feel less great when essential extras appear later. In other words, inclusions are not boring details. They are the difference between a seamless guest experience and a last-minute unwelcome surprise.

At In the Booth, we believe customers should know exactly what they are booking. Consequently, we encourage you to ask photobooth hire questions, read the inclusions, and compare packages carefully. Then, when your event day arrives, you can relax and enjoy the magic found behind our velvet curtain.

OUR INCLUSIONS

Bump in and bump out

We’re not backwards in coming forwards about stating that your photobooth hire time needs to cover your event times. While other companies may offer shorter hires, this results in booths being “turned off” while guests are still in attendance or being set up or packed up during your function. Neither of these options are professional or practical. We bump in and bump out on our own time and your booked hours are ALWAYS fully active photo booth time!

Delivery

At In the Booth, we’re always transparent with any delivery costs. Our preference is for you to include your venue name, state and suburb with your enquiry. That way we can ensure the price quoted to you from the start includes delivery and no adjustments will be needed. If you don’t have a venue yet that’s fine – just provide a state and suburb guide and we will provide the most accurate delivery quote we can. When you’re ready to book your venue we can update you on any changes.

Guest Book

From day dot In the Booth have always included a guest book for all private functions as part of our standard inclusions list. A guest book is the ideal photobooth hire question to ask because it’s also the most common item to not be included or to be an additional cost. Private events refer to weddings, parties and all non-company related functions. A guest book is one of our most popular inclusions and creates another interactive part of the photo booth experience for your guests.

Physical Instant Prints

This one’s a biggie! With the arrival of digital-everything, be aware this also includes digital-only photo booths. As people increasingly search for a break from screens and real connection, it can be super disappointing to realise that the booth you have hired doesn’t actually print. In the Booth provides unlimited instant, physical prints every time. An essential photobooth hire question to ask is if the package includes physical prints.

Video Messaging

Don’t worry, we do digital experiences too! Video messaging is one of our most popular services. In fact, we were the first company to launch video photo booth services back in 2011. It’s still going as strong as ever with customers and guests leaving sweet messages, belting out the latest #1 hit or singing ‘happy birthday’ to the guest of honour. Video messaging with sound is still a rare offering in the industry so don’t forget to check!

The little extras!

At In the Booth we believe that quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten. We’re in the business of memories and memories need to last a lifetime. We’ve always been about the tangible; products you can see, touch and hold on to. Our USB folios are exactly that. They’re designed to be stored on the family photo shelf or in wedding keepsake boxes. We design products that are meant to still be there for your grandchildren.

Plant 4 Bowden Wedding for Dylan & Emily

Weddings at Plant 4 Bowden are perfect for couples looking to bring together industrial charm and a warm atmosphere.

Moreover, its grand entry area near Bowden Park creates a beautiful first impression for guests. Couples can celebrate with family and friends in a space that feels both spacious and intimate.

An Adelaide wedding venue that feels like home

In addition, Plant 4 Bowden suits couples who love great food, great drinks, and a genuine community feel. The venue showcases local food and drinks, so couples can treat guests to a celebration that feels distinctly South Australian. Furthermore, the flexible event spaces allow each wedding to reflect the couple’s style, whether they plan a relaxed cocktail reception or a seated celebration.

Ultimately, Plant 4 Bowden gives Adelaide couples a wedding venue with soul. It blends rustic details, greenery, beautiful lighting, and local flavour in one unforgettable space. Definately add Plant 4 Bowden to your venue list to check out if you’re on the hunt!

PLANT 4 BOWDEN WEDDINGS

You’d be forgiven for thinking Dylan and Emily’s wedding photos belong in a magazine. Our friend Josh Huggett certainly worked some suun-drenched magic here! Their classic ceremony was hosted at Adelaide Botanic Gardens. The captivating fountain centrepiece gave their ceremony the feeling you’d stepped into a French film. White blooms adorned the altar and the perfect Autumn weather was of the kind that every Adelaide couple dreams of for their wedding day.

The men were classically handsome in their black suits while Emily’s bridesmaids shone in sage green gowns in alternating styles. The colour palette looked incredible against the soft greens of the botanic gardens. Our bride and groom stole the show, just as they should, in a class black tuxedo and beaded mermaid style gown.

Dylan & Emily’s Plant 4 Bowden Reception

There are wedding receptions and there are WEDDING receptions. Dylan and Emily’s was of the latter kind – it was an absolute hoot! The crowd makes the wedding and Dylan and Emily’s friends and family understood their assignment.

In the Booth Adelaide went off from the moment it opened and was only rivalled by Guest Cam – one of our records for the most Guest Cams printed at a wedding! You can’t go past our Gold Glitter backdrop paired with a classic black print design.

Check out the action below including their gorgeous chocolate drip cake, sweet guest favours and of course the dance floor streamer finale!

Last but not least, thanks so much for celebrating with us, Dylan and Emily! Your wedding will go down in In the Booth Adelaide’s history books.

A note from the Bride…

Botanic Gardens Wedding

“The most important part of our day was solidifying our ten year bond into marriage and soaking up the emotion and joy of this incredible milestone together. The main theme of our wedding was LOVE and sharing – sharing the love between us with our beloved family and friends, and celebrating with our favourite people. Having our team of incredible vendors made our day so unique and special. In the Booth Adelaide played an integral role in supporting us and making our day absolutely unforgettable.”
