Case Study: Boosting Employee Engagement with a Photo Booth at Ennead Architects' Gold & Silver Holiday Party

When Ennead Architects invited me to their annual holiday party, I knew we were going to create something special. This wasn't just any corporate gathering—it was a celebration of a year's worth of incredible architectural work, and the team wanted the photos to match that level of excellence.

The Gold & Silver Theme

The event was held at their stunning office space, with a gold and silver theme that perfectly complemented the architectural elegance of the venue. We designed custom print overlays featuring their branding in elegant gold tones, and I brought in a metallic tinsel backdrop that caught the light beautifully.

Boosting Employee Engagement

What struck me most about this event was how the photo booth became a catalyst for connection. In a firm with multiple teams working on different projects, the booth brought people together who might not interact regularly. I watched project managers laugh with interns, partners pose with administrative staff, and everyone let loose a little.

The Personal Touch

Throughout the night, I made it a point to capture not just posed photos, but genuine moments—colleagues sharing inside jokes, teams celebrating completed projects, and the natural joy that comes from being together.

Key Takeaways for Corporate Events

  • Theme consistency matters: Matching the booth design to the event theme creates a cohesive experience.
  • Encourage cross-team interaction: Position the booth where it naturally brings different groups together.
  • Capture the candids: Some of the best photos aren't posed—they're the in-between moments.

The result? An evening of genuine connection, hundreds of photos that employees actually wanted to share, and a holiday party that people are still talking about.
