PROM CIRCA 1950                                                                       MORP CIRCA 2010

Do you know what a morp is? If you answered no, you’re not alone. We had no clue what is was until we received a photo booth inquire by phone this afternoon. It felt like kindergarten all over again when someone had to explain the meaning of a, “morp.”  That, or we’re just getting really old because there was no such thing as a, morp, when we were in high school which wasn’t thhaaaat long ago.
What is MORP spelled backwards?…. That’s right, PROM. A morp is backwards prom. It’s the anti-prom where high school teens let loose and go wild. Well, not completely.  It’s an unofficial prom organized by students, or the ASB (Associated Student [...]

Over the summer Cliques Photo Booth had the pleasure of setting up a custom themed photo booth for Summer Solstice, an annual charity event held at The Playboy Mansion. Getting into The Mansion with our gear was a struggle. Security was tight and there were cameras everywhere. In order to enter, one must be on a guest list. It took us about an hour to enter just to set-up.
After setting up we had to go to a, “secret,” parking garage where we were escorted back to The Mansion via a VIP bus.
Throughout the evening, we hung out with Hugh Hefner’s personal security (Wait…shouldn’t they have been looking after Hugh?). We learned a lot from them about The Mansion:
1. Hefner has [...]

Ok, so this isn’t a post about a wedding, a bar mitzvah, or a photo booth. It’s simply about the Polaroid Camera.The first instant camera. Thank god for digital camera and die-sublimation printers. What if we had to use a Polaroid camera to snap our photo booth photos? That would be a lot of film with a hefty price tag.
A little history:
Polaroid was founded in 1937 by Edwin H. Land, an American scientist, inventor and entrepreneur. Polaroid gained commercial success with the introduction of the first practical system of in-camera instant photography on February 21, 1947.
Called the Land Camera, Polaroid originally manufactured sixty units, fifty-seven of which were put up for sale at Boston’s Jordan Marsh department store for Christmas [...]

Yes, we’re back! Did you miss us? We sure missed you!
Within the last 6 months we’ve worked nearly three dozen Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s, many wedding’s, several corporate events, birthday parties, Playboy Mansion parties, film premier’s and so much more! And guess what? We’re not stopping! This month we’ll be at Universal Studios and Cinespace (A cool venue in Hollywood) just to name a few hot spots. Next month we’ll be in Atlanta, Georgia for a special movie premier. And, we’ll also be at The O.C. Auto Show for a couple of days!
About two weeks ago, we hit the road and ventured North to San Fransisco for a special screening of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World! We set-up our paparazzi [...]

Two weekends ago we were in Santa Ana for Eliana’s Bat Mitzvah. I think this was the first event where kids out numbered adults by a lot. Now a days, families are crazy for themed parties. Some common Bar/Bar Mitzvah themes are….

There are dozens and dozens of photo booth companies out there, and each one is special in it’s own way. Today, I’d like to provide just 3 qualities that make Cliques Photo Booth so unique and special:

1. Customer satisfaction. It’s simple…..

This is just a third of the inquiries we’ve received since the beginning of the year. The majority come in by telephone. We really had no idea how 2010 was going to look for us. So far, so good…..

If you don’t already know, Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere was hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010. Over 100,000 deaths have been claimed and more are on the way. CNN’s Anderson Cooper reports, ..”that up to 20,000 deaths a day are occurring to due infections and gangrene.” These deaths are known as, “stupid deaths.” More people will die due to the aftermath then the quake itself. The repercussion of this devastation will last for months if not years….

Cliques Photo Booth was honored to be a part of, Friends of El Faro benefit event hosted by Molly Sims….

Cliques Photo Booth stumbled across this today….

This year I’ve attended close to 10 weddings so far. What did 7 out of those ten weddings have in common?

The parents of post-bar or bat mitzvah children often display their photo album featuring moments from the big day — their child holding the Torah, posing with family, hanging on for dear life during the chair dance and mugging for the camera with friends…

A week or two ago, Cliques Photo Booth did a release party with Blockbuster Video…
