Glam, Grads, and Good Vibes: Vancity Photo Booth Hits the UBC Dental Gala
On April 26, 2025, the future of dentistry gathered under one roof for an unforgettable night. The UBC Dental Students and Hygienists Graduation Gala lit up Vancouver with its perfect mix of elegance, excitement, and well-earned celebration. It wasn’t just a formal event, it was a milestone. With faculty, families, and friends in attendance, the evening marked the end of an intense academic journey and the beginning of a brand-new chapter. From heartfelt speeches to dance floor highlights, the atmosphere was pure gold and Vancity Photo Booth was there to help capture every moment.
Planning & Strategic Approach: A Booth Built for the Feed
We knew this wasn’t just any event — it was a night that had been years in the making. So we selected our Selfie Booth, which gives guests full control over the moment. From angle checks to instant previews, it’s a favourite for glam-heavy events where everyone’s serving looks and living for the content.
To match the upscale tone of the gala while keeping it light and fun, we introduced a sleek backdrop and a curated set of props. These weren’t your average photo booth accessories — we kept it chic and celebratory. Crowd favorites included signs like “Besties Forever” and “Party Squad,” both of which made their way into multiple photo sessions.
The result? A booth experience that hit the perfect balance between classy and carefree.
Live Event Experience: Flashes, Fashion, and Fun
From the second doors opened, the Selfie Booth was buzzing. Grads arrived dressed to impress — floor-length gowns, crisp tuxes, and the kind of confidence that only comes from finishing one of the toughest programs on campus. Whether they were flying solo or bringing their entire study squad, guests lined up to snap their moment in front of the lens.
The energy was nonstop. You could feel it in the laughter between poses, the inside jokes mid-photo, and the celebratory “We did it!” vibe that powered the room.
Emotional Highlights & Human Moments
One of our favourite moments? Watching a group of students come back to the booth three different times throughout the night — first with classmates, then with their partners, and finally, arm in arm with their closest friends. It was a full-circle moment that captured what this event was really about: the people who helped make the journey worth it.
Reflections & Takeaways: Picture-Perfect to the Last Frame
Our biggest win? Creating a space where graduates could slow down for just a second, take it all in, and leave with a memory that was frame-worthy and feed-ready.
If we had to sum up the night in one phrase? “Glam, Grads, and Good Vibes.” It was that kind of evening — elegant, emotional, and unforgettable.
