Product spotlight — The Chatty Tower.

It's the game that looks like Giant Jenga but feels like something else entirely. Because every block has a question, a prompt, or a dare printed on it.

We've watched strangers become friends over this game at cocktail hour. We've seen the quietest person end up the most animated. We've heard the prompts produce answers that made a whole group go completely wild.

It works inside. It works outside. It needs almost no space and no setup expertise. And it brings every single type of guest together in a way that almost nothing else at an event can.

Gorgeous day. Fabulous venue. All your favourite people.
What could possibly be missing?

Something for all those favourite people to do on a gorgeous day at a fabulous venue!

Obviously I haven't mastered AI but that's not what we're about - creating fake vibes. You can likely envision these lawn games encouraging guests to mix and mingle, play, laugh, chat, respark that family game night energy better than an AI image anyway!

Have your event stand out in the memories of your guests!

We come and take a photo of each of your guests, print them, and frame them ONSITE so each of your guests gets a framed print of themselves. This is a keepsake no one leaves behind.

Everyone is dressed up, looking fabulous, and there is no better time to get a picture.

When do we take the photos?
Anytime! We can be there as guests arrive and take pictures as they enter or we can roam around and take photos during the cocktail hour.

How big are the pictures when you print them?
4x6 prints fit in a standard photo frame.

If this is something you'd be interested in - get in touch, happy to chat through how this could work at your event.

Core memories. One print at a time. 🖤

There's something about stepping into a photo booth that gives people instant permission to be completely, unapologetically themselves.

The props come out. The poses get ridiculous. The group that was too polite to really let loose five minutes ago is now absolutely losing it behind that curtain.

And then the print comes out.

And suddenly everyone is holding something real. Something from tonight. Something that's going straight on the fridge, into the wallet, or framed on the wall of a flat.

That's a core memory. And that's exactly what we show up to create — at every single event, for every single guest, one print at a time.

... Before most people thought that was even possible.

Since then I've taught businesses and government departments how to create professional video.

I've won multiple awards at the NZ 48 Hours Film Competition, including Best Female Director. Twice.

My work has been published by Stuff.co.nz and the Northern Advocate.

I've also spent years as a professional wedding videographer and as a wedding photographer in Wellington and Sydney.

And now I'm bringing all of that to your wedding day as your Smile Content creator.

This isn't a side hustle. This is a decade of professional experience showing up for the most important day of your life.

This. Every single time.

The most memorable weddings aren't the ones where everything went perfectly. They're the ones where every guest felt relaxed, included, and genuinely glad they came.

That's what we're here for.

In a world where thousands of photos live on our phones and are never seen again - an Instax print is different.

It's physical. Immediate. AND you can print images from you phone on this camera!

Our Instax Camera Station gives guests a beautiful camera to roam freely throughout your reception, capturing the real, candid, unscripted moments & then printing their favourite shot.

This works great with our photo guestbook as guests can then instantly to tuck into your guestbook alongside a handwritten note.

A photo taken by someone who loves you. Of a moment worth keeping. 🌿📷

Product spotlight — The Little Guests Package. 🌿

This one is for every parent who has ever attended a wedding with a young child and spent the entire reception with one eye on the speeches and one eye on their kid.

We see you. And we have exactly what you need.

A beautiful canvas teepee. A curated activity pack waiting at their seat.

Everything your littlest guests need to be completely happy, absorbed, and in their own little world from the moment dinner is called.

So your friends and family can be fully present and share every single moment with you!

Pinterest has released its 2026 wedding trends and this one was no surprise to us.

Pinterest is the 'Big Cheese' of wedding mood boards and it has shown that the rising search terms and what couples are saving and searching for is changing.

It is showing that weddings are moving towards a more immersive, engaged vibe. Details that feel more sensory, personal and interactive. More hands-on moments.

The video guestbook search and save is up 240%! I totally get it. What better way to receive the heartfelt wishes from your friends and loves ones than to see their face, hear the emotion in their voices, as they share your wedding day with you. You'll get to cherish these personal tributes always.

Include our photo guestbook with either:
- our Photobooth (so the strips go in the book). This makes for a hilarious keepsake that captures the spirit of your friends and family, captures the heartfelt words, but keeps you laughing for decades.

or

- our DIY Instax camera package. Guests take their own photos, or can print photos from their phone through the camera, and place them in the guestbook along with their message to you.

Our guestbooks are designed for photos so won't break the binding as guests add in their contributions.
