Magazine Photo Booth Rental in Chicago: A Kearney Cover at City Hall's Après Ski Winter Party
Chicago Flower Wall's magazine photo booth rental in Chicago produced this custom "Kearney" cover for an après ski winter party at City Hall Events on January 25, 2025: a black-framed magazine cover photo booth printed with the host's name, the hashtag #KearneyOriginals, and the party's date. The booth is delivered, printed, and set for corporate parties, brand events, and weddings across Chicago and the suburbs.
A Cover With the Host's Name Where the Masthead Goes
A magazine cover has one word at the top, and for this party that word was the host's: KEARNEY, set in the tall serif typeface the format is known for. Under it, the cover lines do the rest of the storytelling — "#KEARNEYORIGINALS" on the left, "JAN 25, 2025" on the right, and along the bottom edge, "APRES SKI" and "WINTER PARTY 2025." Anyone who steps inside is not posing in front of a generic booth; they are on the cover of that specific night.
That is the working idea behind a magazine cover photo booth: the printing is the personalization. Names, dates, hashtags, and the party's theme all go on the glass before the first guest arrives, so every photograph taken inside carries the event's branding home with it.
The Hashtag Is Printed, Not Posted
One cover line deserves its own note: "#KEARNEYORIGINALS" sits under the masthead where a magazine would put its slogan. Printing the hashtag on the glass means it appears inside every photograph itself — not in a caption guests may or may not copy, but in the image, uncroppable and unmissable. By the next morning, the party's photos circulating online all carry the same tag in the same place, which is exactly what a host running a branded winter party wants from a booth.
Brick, Glass Block, and a Black Frame
City Hall's room gave the booth a backdrop no printed panel could match — exposed brick walls and tall windows filled with patterned glass block, glowing pale blue in the daylight. Against that industrial texture the booth's clean black frame and white interior read almost like a page hung on the wall. The photograph catches the booth during its final check before the party, interior lights on, cover glass spotless — the unglamorous last pass that decides whether the first guest's photo comes out clean.
Why a Winter Party Books a Booth
An après ski theme is built for photographs: the outfits are the costume, and the cover gives guests a reason to gather in one place instead of scattering across the room. For the host, the run of cover photos doubles as the party's record — every image date-stamped by the cover itself.
