The Photo Booth Awards 2016 – Did You Make The Best PhotoGenic Moments?
2015 was the year of the photo booth, and it’s no surprise that the best weddings and biggest marketing events had a Photobooth as the life of the party.
Last year was such a blast that we just had to compile the Best PhotoGenic PhotoBooth Experiences for the Photo Booth Awards 2016 Edition.
So if you are planning an event this year or attended one last year, you need to check this out as it will reveal a unique idea for your upcoming event or you may just see yourself featured in one of the best photo booth moments of 2015.
Best “Carry Her” Moment
So the “Carry Her” Moment is a signature PhotoGenic PhotoBooth Pose at Weddings. Unlike traditional photo booths, PhotoGenic’s Open Concept Booths provide plenty room for this very cool couple pose. We captured many amazing “Carry Her” shots at spectacular 2015 weddings, but Abisola and Adjaji’s contagious smiles easily stole this one.

Best Celebrity PhotoGenic Moment
It’s not rare to have celebrity sightings at a PhotoGenic event. So it’s no surprise we captured some amazing A-list celebrity Photo Booth moments. D’Banj with his magnetic smile, surrounded by adoring fans was our favorite Celebrity Moment.
Best “Large Group” PhotoBooth Moment
The more the merrier, that’s the magic behind the PhotoGenic Experience. The open booth concept lets you, your besties, your besties’ best friends and that random guy all enjoy one big, happy super fun moment. Mr & Mrs. ATL’s Wedding Party got it just right.

Best Kiss 
Ahhh. Everyone’s favorite category. Naija couples know how to kiss oh. Sweet Love is always in the air at PhotoGenic events so we had plenty beautiful couples to chose from. However, Abisola and Adjaji’s sensual moment was hard to resist.

Best PhotoGenic Fairie Moment
The question is What are PhotoGenic Fairies? PhotoGenic Fairies are super gorgeous, talented photographers that create and capture magical photos, branded to match the theme of your events. Alex serenading Shola was just the quintessential Fairie moment and many guests instantly got a printed copy of this photo.

Best Branded Photo Booth
PhotoBooths amplify a brand’s onsite engagement and exponentially extend its social media reach. By partnering with brilliant activation agencies, PhotoGenic delivers customized photo booths uniquely tailored to the brand experience. HP’s Tech Tour Photobooth topped the charts with a significant brand presence while engaging every attendee at the event.

Most Amazing Photo Bomb!
Photo Bombs are the best thing ever! Now tell me who has never photo bombed a picture before? The guests at Dami and Ladi’s wedding did it right! Even photo bombing the couple’s kiss. Lol.
Best Branded Experience 
Immersing a potential customer in the brand experience is essential for any product activation event. From the branded booth to the customized photo folder, the experience has to be unique to the brand. The launch of LG’s G4 Smart Phone perfectly exemplifies the best way to get this done.

Most Creative Customized Props 
PhotoGenic pioneered the art of customizing Photobooth props that capture the event’s theme. Collaborating with the super talented team at No Surprises Events, the amazing James Bond themed Photo Booth Props was a hit at #TUCP2015.
Best “Show Off” Pose 
Who doesn’t love free party souvenirs? The guests at your event not only get to experience the fun and the magic of a photo booth, but also receive personalized photo favors to remember the event. The beautiful bridesmaids at Dayo and Tola’s wedding showed off their photo souvenirs in an ultimate fun way!
Best “Album Love” Moment 
It’s no fun waiting for weeks after an event before the official photographs are ready, right? Well, Photo Booths have changed the game as you get your Guest Book Photo Album before the end of the reception. It’s usually the best moment of the night seeing the awe on a bride’s face. Sola almost teared up with joy and we loved this moment.

Prom Parties are incomplete without a photo booth experience. There is something truly special about graduation parties, it’s the last time in school with some of your best friends. Choosing the best prom shot wasn’t easy, but these three BFFs from Grange School created a memorable moment.

Best Use of Props
Props! Everyone loves Props! It’s the fun engine of the PhotoBooth Experience. Some guests go crazy and use too many props and some go prop-less (boo. No fun). But the bridesmaids at My Big Nigerian Wedding picked their props perfectly and rocked it just the right way.

Most Creative Photo Template Design 
It’s your event and you want it to be uniquely yours. Our in-house graphic artists work closely with you or your event planner to design a photo template that captures the essence of your event. #LGCHRISTMASISHERE easily won this category with a super creative integration of LG G4’s Screen into the design.
Most Social Media Engagement 
Some loved it; some hated it. But everyone had something to say. Two girls on Prom night decided they wanted to “break the internet” using the photo booth social media sharing stations and they did just that. This photo booth moment by far got the most social media engagement across FaceBook and Instagram.
Best Photo Booth Slogan
One aspect that’s really intimate about the PhotoGenic wedding experience is our collaboration with the couple to create a slogan that captures the essence of their marriage. Many classic slogans have been created, but the simplicity of Lope & Tobi’s “forever and a day” took this category.

The Whackiest Pose
Many photo booth moments are whacky, crazy and fun. Something about PhotoGenic brings out the best in people. But there was this particular pair at Bunmi & Teni’s wedding that got everyone laughing all day. The whackiest pose goes to them.

Best Mr. & Mrs. Moment
