Capturing The Renaissance Foundation’s Milestone with Branded Photo Booth Services
There are events that celebrate more than a moment; they celebrate legacy. The Renaissance Foundation’s 20th Anniversary celebration, held at All Classics Radio, located inside Portland’s iconic KOIN Tower, was one of those special occasions, bringing together donors, trustees, and alumni for an evening of gratitude and reflection. Our team had the honor of providing branded photo booth services that perfectly complemented the event’s tone of sophistication and celebration. This blog offers a behind-the-scenes look at how our branded photo booth services helped not only engage guests but also create branded and shareable content.
Meet Alegría Photo Booth
We’re a mother and daughter team based in Portland, creating photo booth experiences designed to match each event perfectly. Alegría means happiness in Spanish, and that’s exactly what we bring to every celebration. From corporate galas and nonprofit fundraisers to weddings and private parties, we work closely with event planners and hosts to ensure every detail reflects your vision, your brand, and your guests’ experience.
Our goal is simple. We design photo booths that engage your guests, complement your event’s atmosphere, and create memories that last long after the celebration ends.
Branded Photo Booth Services for Corporate and Nonprofit Events
Since its founding in 2000, The Renaissance Foundation has invested in educational access across Oregon and Illinois. The anniversary celebration reflected that mission by connecting the people who have shaped the foundation’s story and the students whose futures have been changed by its work.
To help capture that energy, the foundation booked our print and digital photo booth service designed to balance professionalism with creativity. The photo booth opened before the program, giving guests a chance to mingle and create keepsakes as they arrived. It paused briefly during the formal remarks and then reopened after the program for candid moments and group photos that carried the celebration well into the evening.
How we Integrated Branding into the Photo Booth Experience
A major part of our approach for this event was designing the on-screen experience to reflect The Renaissance Foundation’s brand. Every touchpoint, from the welcome screen to the sharing interface, carried consistent visual elements inspired by the foundation’s logo, color palette, typography, and anniversary/educational theme.
Our goal was to make the technology feel like part of the event rather than a separate attraction. The on-screen design was clean, intuitive, and accessible, allowing guests to share instantly, view previews, and print photos within seconds.
Beyond taking photos, guests were engaging with the foundation’s identity in a way that felt genuine and memorable. In today’s world, where brand perception matters more than ever, thoughtful design decisions like these can quietly elevate the experience and return strong value for organizers
Photos Captured Through Our Branded Photo Booth Services
The photos captured during the anniversary event highlight how naturally guests interacted with the photo booth. After the event, The Renaissance Foundation used many of the images across their social media channels to showcase the success of the evening and thank their community. The consistency and quality of the photos made them easy to share and aligned with the foundation’s professional image. Guests left with personal keepsakes, and Renaissance Foundation gained a curated gallery of content that continued to highlight their 20 years of impact.
Key Takeaways for Event Planners
Every element of an event shapes the overall experience. A branded photo booth can do far more than entertain guests. It can communicate your values, highlight your identity, and generate content that continues to represent your brand long after the event is over. By aligning your photo booth design with your theme, you create a consistent and professional experience that resonates with guests and sponsors alike.
