Why the Mirror suits a corporate team event

Team events bring together colleagues who work side by side but rarely pose together. For corporate events like this, we usually recommend the Mirror photo booth. It is a full-length touch-screen mirror that looks like part of the room until someone steps up and it lights up with an animation and a countdown. Guests do not need instructions, which keeps the line moving when many people want a turn.

Our advertised capacity is up to 25 guests in one photo in a standard 10 × 10 ft setup, so a whole table of colleagues fits in one frame. The photos below show how well that works, from a small trio to a crowded frame.

The backdrop: silver foil fringe

This booking used a silver foil-fringe backdrop. In the photos it catches the light and shimmers behind guests, which gives every frame a party feel without competing with faces. Every attended Mirror booking includes a backdrop of your choice. For corporate team events we usually suggest a backdrop that echoes the theme or the brand colours, and a metallic one does that job well when the theme is retro or festive.

The photos show guests in shutter shades and holding retro-style props, such as a roller skate, a disco-ball balloon and a CD. Silver reads clearly behind bright, colourful props like these.

The print design

The prints were 4×6 landscape, with three photos on each print beside a panel of custom artwork. The design used a bright blue geometric background, a retro-style title graphic, CD illustrations and the Scotiabank mark, so each print worked as a keepsake of the event as well as a photo. A small photoboothbyzee.com line runs along the edge.

Custom print layouts can carry your logo, event name and colours. For corporate events like this, we usually build the template around the client's branding and theme. 4×6 is an upgrade size; 2×6 strips are included as standard with every attended booth package.

How the pieces fit together

A good photo booth result comes from the backdrop, the booth, the props and the print working as one design. Here, the silver fringe gave every frame a shimmer, the full-length mirror let guests see themselves and pose, the colourful props added personality, and the blue print design tied the photos back to the event and the client's brand. When we plan a corporate booking, we usually start with the theme and the brand colours and work backwards to the backdrop and print layout.

Setup approach

For a Mirror booking like this, our team confirms the load-in route, elevator size and nearest outlet with the venue coordinator before the event. We arrive early so the mirror, lighting and printer are set up, tested and printing before guests walk in. Setup typically takes 45 to 60 minutes.

The Mirror needs about 10 × 10 ft of clear floor, one standard power outlet nearby and a small table for props. An attendant stays beside the mirror for the whole booking, helping with props, keeping the line moving and making sure shy guests are comfortable.

What guests received

Attended Mirror bookings include instant prints, digital sharing by email or QR code, GIFs and boomerangs, and an online gallery delivered within 24 to 48 hours after the event. Guests leave with a printed keepsake in hand and a digital copy on their phone, and the organizers receive the full gallery.
