In their heyday, photo booths dotted the landscape in shopping centres, and amusement parks. These days, they are fast becoming popular additions to private events, school formals, as well as exhibitions, corporate, promotional and charity events.

A current trend and large demand for photo booths at events has seen a Gold Coast business expand nationally in under a year.

Funky Foto Booths on the Gold Coast is the brainchild of Susie and Cam Christie a mother and son business team who have brought the photo booth trend to Queensland weddings, parties and corporate events are taking the business national. 

“It’s a very exciting time for us and the fact that we are growing in a time when people are pulling their belts in, shows that people still want to have some good old fashioned fun” said Cam Christie.

“These booths virtually guarantee everybody at your event a good time and cross the barrier of all ages. They are instantly recognisable, immediately accessible, and eternally entertaining. They spontaneously tap into guests’ creativity and sense of humour, while immortalizing the intimate, hilarious, and unexpected. More important, they create an instant photo album for the host and party gift for guests,” he continued.

Using current and innovative viral marketing techniques Funky Foto Booths has been able to reach a national audience which has driven the demand to set up interstate.

“Franchising seemed to be the best way to go as the brand has really taken hold and become recognizable here and interstate and allows us to extend the opportunity for other families to work together in a fun and supportive way in these downturn times,” he said.
