From Event to Keepsake: Building a Custom Photo Booth for Monnies

Monnies: Client Background

Monnies (Laerskool Monumentpark) is a well established primary school in Pretoria East that values community, family involvement, and creating memorable experiences for learners and parents. For their Father’s Day event, they wanted an innovative way to capture special moments without disrupting the flow of the day.

Develop a simple, web-based Photo Booth that would allow families to capture Father’s Day memories, apply a branded event frame, and download their photos while giving the school access to the images.

With many families attending the event, it was difficult to ensure everyone had the opportunity to be photographed. The school needed an easy-to-use solution that allowed families to capture their own memories while keeping everything centrally managed.

• Developed a custom Photo Booth directly on the Monnies website.
• Enabled visitors to access the camera from their mobile devices without downloading an app.
• Added a branded Father’s Day photo frame.
• Allowed users to preview, retake, save, and download their photos.
• Stored all submitted photos for the school to access.
• Designed a fully responsive experience for mobile, tablet, and desktop.
• Implemented the ability to switch between the front and rear cameras, allowing users to take selfies or have someone else capture the photo.

• Successfully launched for the Father’s Day event.
• 303 branded photos were captured during the event.
• Parents and learners were highly impressed with the experience.
• Every family had the opportunity to capture a special Father’s Day memory.
• The web-based solution made participation simple and accessible from any mobile device.
• The reusable frame system allows Monnies to quickly adapt the Photo Booth for future events by simply changing the event frame.
• The school has access to all submitted photos in one central location, making them easy to manage and share.

303 Memories Captured

Families created 303 branded Father’s Day memories during the event.

Original (Afrikaans):

“Dit het perfek gewerk. Die ouers en kinders was baie beïndruk gewees. Weereens dankie. Wel, dit is bitter moeilik om by al die gesinne uit te kom vir ‘n foto by sulke geleentheid. Daarom het ons gedink om ‘n maklike manier te kry dat almal ‘n foto kan neem en dat ons dan toegang tot dit het. Later het ons besef dat om dit op die webtuiste te sit, gaan die maklikste wees. Om die raam dan net te verander vir ‘n geleentheid is tegnies ‘n bonus.”

English Translation:

“It worked perfectly. The parents and children were very impressed. Thank you once again. It is very difficult to get around to every family for a photo at an event like this. That is why we wanted to find an easy way for everyone to take their own photo while still allowing us to have access to all the images. We later realised that placing the Photo Booth on our website was the simplest solution. Being able to simply change the branded frame for different events is an added technical bonus.”
