in Hive PHlast year

BACKGROUND

It was one of my girlfriends' birthday 🎂and she wanted us to have a decent group photo. She booked us a slot in Cebu's first self-photo studio called 5PM Studios. This was absolutely a nice business idea 💡 because Filipinos are so fond of pictures and selfies and sometimes we just wanna pose freely, take as many pictures as we can and have fun in the studio without the pressure from a photographer🤣. This is located on the second floor of The Greenery in Mabolo, Cebu City.

ENTRANCE

We met up at around 5pm and most of us came on time except for one who is pretty notorious to be tardy🤣 Luckily, they gave us a grace period and we were able to push through with our group photo. LOL

I saw that they have two photo booths. When we got there, it was occupied by a group of friends and another group of family. I think the best time to go there is on weekdays so it isn't crowded and you don't have to be in such a hurry.

RATES

When booking there are specific time slots and there is a time limit for using the booth as well as choosing the photos to print. There are 3 packages you can choose from, 2 of which are ideal for couples, small families, or solo while the other one is ideal for a big group of friends.

We had a good time taking unlimited pictures within the 30-minute time slot. After, we had 15 minutes to choose the best photos to print. We waited for another 15 minutes to get the printed photos.

The best part is they give us all of the pictures via email or airdrop! 😄

PHOTOBOOTH

Take a peek inside their photo booth which is equipped with the latest tools and gadgets to make our experience convenient and fun! 🤳 We all agreed to do 2 themes which were white and denim and black blazer. We were also allowed to change the color of our backgrounds to match our outfits.

All of the pictures are so great. Tbh, I am planning to book here in this studio, but I also have an option that is why I opted not to book yet. Is it worth it? Because I really wanted to try to have a self-photoshoot studio in order to have some memories and superb photos. Send help...

Personally, I find it worth it but it depends on your purpose and who you're with. Sometimes it's nice to see well curated photos to display in your home or as what you said for memories.

Gorgeous!

Ang ganda naman te ng photoshoot niyo!

Definitely worth keeping with your friends. I like the first pic you posted under Results. Considering this was a self-photo, your group knows how to pose well. :)

Would be interesting to recreate this years from now, same pose, but your older selves. :)

Thank you so much!! These shots were planned beforehand 🤣🤣 Yes! for sure we will have a "ten years later" photo 😁

Wow! those photos are so nice.

Ang gaganda nyo po lalo na si Mam, 😊
