We had an awesome time this weekend with several amazing weddings and the fantastic annual Torpedo summer party. It was great to be back with the guys again this year, it was a perfect day and good to see so many familiar faces. As well as the lovely Twistina – The Amazing Balloon Lady. She’s not actually made out of balloons, but she does make some incredible balloon sculptures and figures!

We were quite surprised at the wedding of Don and Gail – now Mr and Mrs Walcott! – to discover that it was in fact the one and only Don Walcott from TJW Promotions and Gail, his lovelynew wife, who is a makeup artist for many TV and film productions. You might also recognise the surname as Don is the father of England football forward, Theo Walcott.

It even transpires that Don was stationed out in Rinteln, Germany with the RAF at the same time and place that our company director was born! It certainly is a small world.

And then, unbeknownst to us, BBC Radio One’s Jo Wiley popped up as a guest at Ellie and Dan’s awesome wedding just down the road!

We had a great time as always and, judging from the photos, all of the guests did as well!

Wow what a fantastic year for myPhotobooth! We’ve been busier than ever providing our all inclusive photo booth hire to weddings, birthdays and corporate events all over England and Wales – and even Scotland! So busy, in fact, that we’ve had to expand again and add another 2 photobooths to our fleet!

We’ve visited some fantastic venues, such as the lovely Birtsmorton Court in Worcestershire, the stunning Oxwich Bay Hotel down on the beach in Swansea, the Oxford University Colleges as well as some amazing historical sites like Eastnor Castle and Berkeley Castle. And we met some fantastic guests!

We’d like to thank everyone who made 2013 such an incredible year and we hope to have as much fun in 2014!

In the meantime – head over to the myPhotobooth facebook Page to see some of the great photos that we’ve capture throughout the year!

It’s that time of year again, when the lovely people at Krispy Kreme open up a new hotlight store full of their tasty doughnuts! This time we took a photo booth all the way up to Edinburgh for Scotlands first ever Krispy Kreme store opening!

After a long drive from deep in the West Midlands, we arrived at Hermiston Gait ready to set up the photo booth for the evening launch party. By 5pm the doughnuts and coffee were flowing (the MC2 girls doing a fantastic job as always) and the music pumping courtesy of Edinburghs ForthOne (FM) Radio team. Everyone had a great time, and who wouldn’t with a factory belt of non-stop doughnuts! Anyway, Jamie whipped out his compact camera and captured a bit of video…..

Early on in December this year, we were fortunate enough to be booked by California based company “Rimini Street“, to add a twist to their stand at this years UK Oracle Users Group (UKOUG) convention at the ICC in Birmingham. Having only been at the ICC a few days previous for the NCFE Awards, we were lucky enough to know our way around. The guys at the ICC where great as usual and very helpful – so a big shout out to them.

It was certainly an interesting day with all sorts going on and people in attendance from all over the world. The Rimini Street guys were fantastic and a pleasure to work alongside – and they certainly enjoyed the photo booth! I think we need to make a special mention to the guys on the other stand who managed to crash a remote control helicopter while flying it around indoors, it put a smile on quite a few faces :)

This was the second year that we took our photo booth to the GlobalX/7side Christmas party and it certainly lived up to expectation! We were at the Vale Resort in Glamorgan again this year, which is a fantastic place as a wedding venue in Wales / Cardiff as well as all manner of corporate events. In fact, you may have seen the Vale Resort in Episode 4 (Season 1) of Gavin & Stacey – where the families drive down to Barri for a wedding fayre at the Vale!

So, true to form, 7side hosted their annual “Red Rooster” awards, which – of course – we made a little note of. You can read about last years winners on our photo booth hire blog here: GlobalX Christmas Party 2011

The Nominees for the Red Rooster Awards 2012 were as follows;

1. Mary – Who locked herself in the toilet onboard a train and tried to break her way out by picking the lock with a fork!
2. Phil – Who tried to make a nice pattern in his tie with a hole punch, only for the punch to get stuck before scattering paper dots all over the floor
3. Gaz – Who went on a business trip to Australia with Wendy and Sian and inadvertently ended up texting the girls instead of his girlfriend with the message, “Just had a nice wine, back in my room in my pants eating Haribo and Pringles”
4. Vicky – Who furiously called in tech support because her mouse wasn’t working, only to find that she had been moving the stapler around the desk instead.
5. Mark – Who, mistakenly, advised the “Hymen Manouevre” for a “particularly dry scotch egg” that was lodged in Wendy’s throat – which came as a surprise as you may recall last
   year Wendy informed everyone that she had a “deceptively deep mouth”
6. Fliss – Who likes to use her own phonetic alphabet, which we dare not repeat here!

And the winner was; Fliss!

We’d also like to give a special mention to Kathryn who, officially, has the smallest feet that we’ve seen whilst out with the photo booth! Here’s to another great year for 7Side and we hope to see them again in 2013!
