So much fun celebrating and their employee resource groups at tonight’s big event! 350 people and lots of fun photos! Corporate events are so fun because I get to help people come out of their shells, bond with people they work with every day, and help capture some of the most fun moments from the party!
Thanks to the team for having me tonight!
Two events in 24 hours! When this team said they want GREEN, they meant GREEN GREEN!! Congratulations to all the scholarship winners we celebrated today from fund! This group was so good at mixing celebrating excellence with letting loose.
It’s exciting to do educational events and see where young minds are planning to take things. I heard some great speeches and everyone was in good spirits.
My goal is always to lift people up in the booth, but these kids were already lifted! Great work to everyone involved ✅✅
We have three very fun & exciting events this upcoming week! It’s so fun to feel like our message of fun and celebration is spreading to more events and people planning parties. We always get a question about what sets us apart (mostly when folks are looking at pricing between us and other options).
What sets us apart is very simple: We are closer to an entertainment option than we are to a simple photographer. When you find us, you might just be looking for someone to snap photo booth pictures, but most of the time, event planners have us back because we bring the fun, the laughs, and the good vibes.
We are doing more than taking photos or getting your guests through the photo booth line—we’re making them laugh, helping them bond, and elevating the party’s entertainment value.
If you have a party coming up, ask yourself what’s more important—do you just need someone to snap headshots and group shots of your guests, or do you want someone to help your guests create meaningful memories and bond with each other in a way that feels real and important?
We choose the connection. We choose the memories! We choose the laughs. What do you choose?
So proud to be on #4 on the “Top 10 Photo Booths in NYC” is list online! Goes to show how much all of YOU have been supporting the booth biz by leaving those 5 star reviews about how much you love working with us on your awesome parties and events ❤️❤️
This list changes every day but right now, we’re in the top half of the top 10 baby!! Can’t wait to be #1!
Here’s to more fun in the booth, more great service, awesome photos, more laughs, and all around good vibes 🎉🎉
Thank you Yelp!
🐰 Meet Ben Hawes, the founder of New York City’s own - a highly popular party essential in NYC since 2018! Ben’s love for parties, events, and photography led him to create a special photo booth experience just for you.
Today, he has brought his photo booth services to over 60 New York events and counting. Get ready to shine with every photo taken in Ben’s amazing booth. With his friendly vibe and talent for making everyone feel special, your big party will be a success!
Ben’s expertise guarantees fun and entertainment for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, and more. Plus, he’s snapped photos of New York City royalty like Jimmy Fallon, Cynthia Nixon, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson - how cool is that?
When he’s not taking pictures in the booth, Ben spreads joy by performing musical comedy in NYC. He also hosts a podcast called “Life In Bold,” which features the bold journies of q***r up-and-coming comedians in the city. He aims to make you feel like a VIP- because that is what you are! Keep the party going strong with Ben and Rent My Booth - we’ll make your party unforgettable!
🎉 What’s so cool about running a Photo Booth business is when a customer you loved working with hires you back for their annual party. I started working with New York Communities For Change on their annual Gala in 2018 after I met the team while doing the booth at Cynthia Nixon’s big campaign event for governor!
I’ve now been doing this event for 6 years, but I had a gap year in 2022 when I happened to be booked, and I was unable to make it to the gala! Well, tonight as I was taking photos, printing them out, helping pose people, etc, people kept saying “we are so happy you’re back!!!”
The unfortunate news was that the person they hired in 2022 did not treat them well and did not give them the love and fun they deserved. Ugh!
When you book with my booth company, you’re getting a generous and friendly energy along with a Photo Booth. You’re getting someone who understands you might be anxious about your photos, or you might be most excited about getting your outfit shots. You’re getting someone who will make sure you get the time you need, and will always let you retake your shot. If you need more props, you’re getting more props! I am here to make sure you have everything you need to have a blast & get an amazing digital & printed keepsake from the party.
I started my photo booth business because I had a clear vision of the experience I wanted to create in the Photo Booth— and when you have Rent My Booth at your event, it’s not just a Photo Booth. It’s not just a camera, a light, and a printer. It’s an energy that is extremely fun, patient, and kind 🥳
Thank you, NYCC, for having me again this year, and to everyone who posed in my booth tonight… YOU ALL ROCKED!!
🦋 When the party calms, the speeches get started, you can find me testing the booth, resetting the props, making sure the printer is working, and making sure that when folks return the booth, we’re ready to GO!
Here are some test shots in the booth! My favorite are the ears 🐰🐰
My mom used to take so many pictures of us at family events, and even just in ordinary moments. We have boxes and boxes of photos printed out at Costco of gymnastics competitions, birthday parties, school field trips, family reunions, you name it.
I remember the first time my mom got a digital camera in the 2000s. She brought it to my brother’s soccer game and gave me the camera and said “it’s digital, you can take as many photos as you want!” And something right then unleashed within me.
I ran around with the camera taking photos of people, trees, the marina, anything I could take a photo of. And I brought the camera back and was so proud of all the photos I had taken.
Last night I did a fantastic event with my Photo Booth- a 60th birthday for a man who had a family people dream about. And the whole time I was setting up, I was sending pictures of the event to my mom. Pictures of the backdrop, pictures of the prints, everything. I get so excited to share these things with her.
Sometimes I get used to having my mom around at 31 years old and I forget that so many people don’t still have their mom to text photos to during a big event. It makes me really stand back and appreciate how lucky I am to still have my mom who I can share big moments with. It’s a great privilege in this life.
This photo is from the time my mom surprised me at my 25th birthday party in NY, she flew from California. We took so many photos in the booth. Fun moms love photo booths ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Mother’s Day!
P.S. did you know that my mom has a Photo Booth of her own? Over the years, she’s seen my setup and emulated it for her educational events like the robotics camp she runs every summer 🌷🌷🌷
When people get together in a Photo Booth, it’s nothing but magic & connection. Here’s what Roselle had to say about hiring us for her father in law’s 60th birthday:
“The photo booth was a fantastic addition to our event! It was user-friendly, and the picture quality was excellent. What made the experience even better was Ben’s friendliness and helpfulness. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend both the photo booth and the owner!”
Thank you to everyone who made tonight so fun! And happy 60th birthday to Nathan!
🤔 How long has been in business? Well friends, I’ll take you back to 2017.
I was turning 25 that June, and I threw myself a gala. And I mean, a GALA. I had a & cake, I had awesome golden decorations and sparklers, a signature drink, and I knew one thing was for SURE- ya boy was gonna have a Photo Booth!
I looked and looked at different options, and it seemed like the options were all about the money, or all about the camera equipment, but nobody was talking about the fun experience my guests would have in the Photo Booth.
So I set out & scoured the internet & camera shops to find what I felt like was the best booth setup. I borrowed backdrops and tripods from the marketing team at work, and I whipped together what was a fun freaking Photo Booth!
I set it up at the party, and I basically barely left the booth. I remember thinking, “Wow, this made the party 1000% better!”
In the booth, there were so many people who kept returning, and as the night went on, the photos got more creative, more sloppy, blurrier, and funnier- and I knew that my Photo Booth creation was one for the books.
A few months later, as an entrepreneur, I was looking for my next challenge- a good friend of mine recommended I make a business out of taking that experiences to parties around NYC- and I did!
I started going to corporate events, birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, weddings, launch events, and started helping people take photos in a way that was fun, easy, and got people a keepsake they could cherish forever.
Here I am, 7 years later, running the Photo Booth business of my dreams.
The photos in this post are extremely special to me, not only because the party was so special, and all my friends from that era are forever stamped in my memories of the party, but because these photos are what showed me that I was able to create a special memory for everyone— and to this day, that’s what drives me to run this Photo Booth biz! The love, connection & belly laughter people experience in my booth is what keeps me going.
Last summer, we did many corporate rooftop parties, LGBTQ+ pride events, launch events, company anniversary parties, celebrations, and even CEO birthdays! We’re looking to get out there again this summer and help you capture fun & special memories with your teams.
If you have a team event coming up, one of the best ways to get your employees on board with having a good time is by providing an amazing photo booth! Help them loosen up and share laughs and funny moments with our booth at your party. Once you book with us once, you’ll realize that the booth is a “must-have” at your team events in NYC.
Now booking for summer events and beyond! It’s never to early to ask about availability. Comment below or email [email protected] for info about rates and dates! Hope to hear from you soon.
Happy (almost) summertime!
-Ben
Ah, corporate events. They have the potential to be so fun, but if you aren’t careful, they also have the potential to be boring, and lame, and they can make people dread them.
When you’re planning a big event for your team or company, you’ve gotta think of ways to get people laughing. We’ve heard that laughter is the best medicine for our bodies, right? Well, it applies to parties and events too!
When people show up to your event, they’re gonna scan the room. They’re gonna see who you’ve hired for catering, they’re gonna feel out the music from the DJ, they’re gonna see what kind of decorations you’ve put up, and they’ll simply evaluate.
But when they look over and see a photo booth, they’re gonna take that in and say to themselves, “I hope to have fun with that later.
But they might be hesitant! So they grab a drink, they start a small talk conversation with their favorite product manager. But they keep an eye on that photo booth. “Later…” they say.
At one point in the night, someone breaks the ice and says “Should we try to do the photo booth?” the magic words! Once someone suggests it, everyone gets on board. “Sure! What else is there to do?” they say.
They grab their props, and they laugh about how funny it would be if Rob wore the pink glitter glasses, or if Jenna and Emma held up the “bromance” sign. They decide on the funniest props and step into the lighting.
With each snap, things get sillier, laughs come from the belly, and now Joe and Dan are hugging and doing funny poses in the booth.
They all enter their phone numbers and the photo instantly goes to their phones, and they burst into laughter.
And from there, consider the ice to be broken. They grab another drink, settle in to the party, and have more meaningful conversations about work, life, family and more— and that’s that!
Trust is being built, stronger relationships are being forged. Your goal of the party is accomplished, and now your employees are begging you to book the photo booth at your next party.
You planned a great party. You did great.
Are you aiming for maximum fun at your wedding this summer? Picture this: your guests mingling, sharing laughs, and snapping instant keepsakes they can cherish forever. Elevate your big day with my fun-filled photo booth – the ultimate icebreaker!
