Party photos on phones while the party is on.
Guests get their photos by text in real time, so they share them that night, not next week.
313 Presents, Detroit. Shot by Mammoth, the agency that runs its events on BrandStudio.
The one night everyone dresses up.
December party, delivered before last call.
Set it up at your desk
Event created, company brand applied, whoever is shooting invited. Nothing to set up in a venue you have never seen.
A booth people actually queue for
Set an iPad on a stand and let them run it, or shoot tethered through the room. One gallery either way.
Saved to photosOn their phone at the bar
Photos arrive while the party is still happening, branded as the company, which is how they end up posted rather than lost.
Real frames from 313 Presents Holiday Event at the Fox Theatre
You know how the party photos usually surface.
The photographer’s gallery arrives in mid-January. The party was December 12th. Nobody is posting anything now.
The booth line stretches past the bar, prints run out by ten, and half the room goes home without a single photo of themselves.
What survives lands in a shared drive nobody opens — and the one culture moment leadership paid for leaves no trace.
Out before the party is.
Set it up in the fall. On the night, the photos deliver themselves.
Capture
Portraits by the tree or the step-and-repeat, a Photo Booth for photos and boomerangs, a photographer working the room. Guests register once with a selfie at check-in — no app.
BrandStudio brands + delivers
Every photo lands in one gallery on the company brand. Face Match finds each person and texts them every shot they appear in — during the party, while everyone is still dressed up.
You watch it happen
The live slideshow fills the big screen as photos come in. People post from the dance floor, and by morning the finished gallery is the recap — before the holidays end.
BrandStudio never appears in the link, the gallery, or the photo. Your employees and leadership only ever see the company brand.
The holiday party, hour by hour.
The one night the whole company actually relaxes — here’s how every moment of it gets home safe.
- 6:00 PM
Doors
The booth is live in the corner, the arrival camera by the door, the company’s holiday branding on both. Zero IT tickets required.
- 7:00 PM
The good hour
Teams pile into the booth; the roaming shooter catches the departments actually mingling. Everything lands in one gallery.
Guest sees: The team photo in the group chat before dessert. - 9:00 PM
Peak party
The screens cycle the night’s best — people drag coworkers over to find themselves. The party watches itself.
- 10:30 PM
Last call
Every guest already has their photos — no Monday email chain, no “who has the pictures from Friday?”
Photos on phones during the party. Recap done before the holidays end.
Everyone leaves with their own photos — the portrait with their partner, the team shot, the booth round — on the company brand, texted that night. Leadership sees the culture moment it paid for while it’s still December, and the gallery link keeps working long after.
- Every employee’s own photos by text that night — no app, no January wait.
- The company logo and domain on every page — a party that looks like the company threw it.
- A thank-you text with each guest’s own photos, scheduled once, sent on its own.
How it actually works.
Every photo finds its person before the coats do.
Guests register once with a selfie at check-in — no app to download in a party dress. From then on, every photo they appear in finds them: the portrait by the tree, the team shot, the candid mid-toast. Each one texts to their phone during the party, and plus-ones who'd rather skip face matching can opt out and still get theirs at the booth or the Sharing Station.
- One selfie at check-in — every photo of them, matched automatically
- Photos keep finding people as the night goes on
- Per-event face recognition controls, and any guest can opt out
The booth line moves, because delivery is instant.
Photos, boomerangs, and branded prints — the Photo Booth runs itself with on-screen prompts and a countdown. Every round texts straight to phones the moment it's done, so nobody stands around waiting to claim a print and the line never stalls the party. The company's look is on every frame before it leaves the booth.
- Photos, boomerangs, and branded prints in one booth
- Each round texted instantly — the line keeps moving
- Your logo and colors applied the moment the shutter clicks
Portraits by the tree, texted before the next couple steps up.
This is the night people bring partners and actually dress up — the portrait matters. Your photographer shoots the tree or the step-and-repeat tethered or on any iPhone, and each couple or team photo lands branded and texts to everyone in it who has registered. The one photo of the two of them all year, on their phones before they're back at the bar.
- Tethered camera or any iPhone — branded on capture
- Couples and team photos texted to everyone in them
- Texts and emails carry the company name — no app, no signup
The room watches itself all night — and posts from the dance floor.
A live slideshow fills the big screen as photos come in, so the party sees itself happening. A Sharing Station near the bar hands out photos however each guest wants them — print, text, email, or scan-to-phone. Photos in hand during the party means the posting happens that night, while everyone still looks like this — not in January when the moment is gone.
- Live slideshow on the big screen, updating as photos land
- Sharing Station: print, text, email, or scan — guests choose
- Photos in hand that night — that's what gets posted
The recap is done before the holidays end.
By the next morning the full gallery is live on your company's domain — logo and colors on every page, folders keeping the party separate from the all-hands. That gallery is the recap: send the link to leadership before everyone scatters for the break, and watch the opens and downloads show the culture moment landed. No shared drive, no January archaeology.
- One gallery on the company domain — never a shared drive
- Sent to leadership while it's still December
- Opens, downloads, and shares show the party landed
The thank-you goes out on its own.
Set a scheduled thank-you once, before the party. A set number of days later, every guest gets a text or email on the company brand with a link to their own photos from the night. Nobody on the team has to remember to send it during the holiday rush.
- Scheduled once, before the party
- You choose how many days after the party it goes out
- Each guest gets a link to their own photos, not a generic blast

Holiday party photography questions
How fast do employees get their photos at the party?
During the party. Guests register once with a selfie at check-in, no app, and get a text with a link to their own gallery as soon as the first photo of them lands. New photos keep arriving there all night: the portrait by the tree, the booth round, the candid mid-toast.
Do plus-ones and partners have to use face recognition?
No. Face recognition is controlled per event, and any guest can opt out. Guests who skip it still get their photos through the Photo Booth and the Sharing Station — print, text, email, or scan-to-phone.
Can the Photo Booth do boomerangs and prints?
Yes. Photos, boomerang clips, and branded prints, with your company's look on every one. Because each round texts straight to phones, nobody stands around waiting to claim a print — the line keeps moving.
Where do the photos live after the party?
In one gallery on your company's own domain, with your logo and colors on every page — not a shared drive that surfaces in January. Folders keep the party separate from the all-hands and the offsite inside the same company gallery.
We already hired a photographer. Does this replace them?
No — it delivers their work while it still matters. Watch Folder picks up their exports, so their shots land in the branded gallery and text out to the people in them during the party, not from a gallery link that arrives in mid-January.
When should we lock this in for a December party?
As soon as you book the photographer. December dates fill fast. Set up the event and the brand kit once, ahead of time, and nothing needs configuring on the night.
Can we send a thank-you after the party?
Yes. Schedule a thank-you text or email once, set how many days after the party it goes out, and each guest gets it with a link to their own photos, on the company brand.
Throw the party people post about that night.
Photos on every phone during the party, the company brand on every one, and the recap done before the holidays end. December dates fill fast, so set it up when you book the photographer.
