We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Joseph Estil And Anneth Pablo. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Joseph Estil and below.
Joseph and Anneth, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
Finding our purpose with Snaptrend Photo Booth was less of a single “aha” moment and more of a journey shaped by meaningful experiences and a passion for connection. We’ve always believed in the power of shared moments—those fleeting seconds of laughter, love, and joy that bring people closer together.
The idea for Snaptrend began during a family wedding where we witnessed how something as simple as a photo booth became a magnet for laughter and connection. I realized that beyond the photos, it was about creating experiences that people would carry with them forever. That’s when it clicked—our purpose was to help people celebrate life’s milestones in the most authentic and joyful way possible.
Starting and growing Snaptrend came with its challenges. Navigating through the crowded event industry as a small business, finding our unique voice, and keeping up with ever-evolving trends required resilience, creativity, and an unwavering belief in our mission. But every event, every smile, and every guest who walks away with a memory in their hand reinforces that we’re doing something truly special.
At Snaptrend, we’re not just about taking photos; we’re about creating unforgettable experiences. Our purpose is to make every moment count, ensuring that joy, connection, and celebration are at the heart of every event we’re part of. That’s what drives us every day.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
At Snaptrend Photo Booth, we bring people together through creative, modern, and unforgettable photo experiences. Whether it’s an elegant wedding, a high-energy corporate event, or an immersive brand activation, our focus is on helping people celebrate life’s moments in ways that feel meaningful and exciting.
What makes Snaptrend special is our ability to merge technology, design, and personal connection into every event. We don’t just set up photo booths; we create experiences tailored to the unique story and vibe of each occasion. From our signature Glam Booth that offers a chic, polished aesthetic to our AI-powered booths that add a futuristic flair, every detail is designed to leave a lasting impression.
One of the most exciting aspects of what we do is the versatility and creativity our services bring. For a wedding, we might create timeless keepsakes with elegant designs. For a brand activation, we’ll focus on interactive elements like digital props, branded microsites, or gamified photo experiences that engage guests while amplifying the brand’s message. Seeing the joy on people’s faces and knowing we’ve helped create a memory they’ll treasure is what drives us every day.
As we move into 2025, we’re thrilled about several new developments. We’ve recently launched our Studio Booth, which offers a professional and polished photo experience perfect for upscale events like galas or product launches. We’re also introducing innovative features like AI-enhanced photo editing, lenticular prints, and swag booth activations to provide even more ways for clients to wow their guests.
Another exciting step for us is expanding into new markets and events. Our goal is to bring Snaptrend’s magic to more weddings, corporate celebrations, and creative brand partnerships in New York, New Jersey, and beyond. We’re also looking to collaborate with nonprofits and community events, as we deeply value giving back through the joy of shared experiences.
Ultimately, Snaptrend is about more than just photos—it’s about creating moments that matter, experiences that connect, and memories that last. We’re passionate about what we do and are always looking forward to the next opportunity to make life’s celebrations even more special. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a company milestone, or a bold new activation, we’d love to help bring your vision to life!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back on our journey with Snaptrend Photo Booth, three key qualities have been instrumental in shaping our success: adaptability, creativity, and building strong relationships. These elements have not only defined our growth but have also helped us overcome challenges and create a brand that resonates with people.
1. Adaptability:
The event industry is ever-changing, and being able to adapt quickly has been essential. From staying ahead of trends like AI-enhanced booths to pivoting during unexpected challenges, adaptability has allowed us to remain relevant and innovative. For those just starting, I’d recommend embracing change as an opportunity to learn. Stay curious, keep an open mind, and be willing to evolve with your audience’s needs.
2. Creativity:
Creativity is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s designing custom backdrops, integrating branded elements into events, or creating unique photo experiences, thinking outside the box has helped us stand out. For those early in their journey, don’t be afraid to experiment. Seek inspiration from unexpected places, collaborate with others, and remember that creativity often comes from taking risks and pushing boundaries.
3. Building Strong Relationships:
The connections we’ve built with clients, vendors, and industry partners have been invaluable. Taking the time to listen, understand their vision, and deliver more than what’s expected has led to long-term partnerships and trust. My advice? Focus on genuine, meaningful interactions. Build your network with care, invest in your relationships, and remember that word-of-mouth and trust are some of the strongest tools for growth.
For those starting their journey, my biggest piece of advice is to stay patient and persistent. Success rarely happens overnight, but every step forward brings valuable lessons. Stay true to your values, invest in yourself, and surround yourself with people who inspire and challenge you.
Lastly, don’t forget to celebrate your wins, no matter how small—they’re the fuel that keeps the journey exciting and fulfilling.
Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
Throughout our journey with Snaptrend Photo Booth, we’ve been fortunate to have incredible support from mentors, collaborators, and loved ones who have played a vital role in our growth. While it’s hard to single out just one person, I can confidently say that a few key individuals have been instrumental in helping me navigate challenges and develop the skills and qualities needed for success.
First, we owe a lot to our mentors (shoutout to Catalina Bloch!) in the event and creative industries. Their guidance has been invaluable in helping us understand the nuances of running a business, building a brand, and staying innovative. Their willingness to share their experiences and insights has shaped many of the decisions that have helped Snaptrend thrive.
Second, our team has been a constant source of inspiration and strength. Their dedication, creativity, and problem-solving abilities have been key to overcoming hurdles and delivering exceptional experiences for our clients. Knowing we have a team that shares our vision and works tirelessly to bring it to life has made all the difference.
Lastly, our family and close friends have been our rock. Their unwavering belief in us, even during the most challenging times, has been a source of motivation and confidence. They remind us to stay grounded, celebrate progress, and keep pushing forward.
For anyone starting their journey, our advice is to surround yourself with people who believe in you, challenge you, and inspire you. Seek mentors who have walked a similar path, collaborate with talented individuals who complement your strengths, and lean on your support system when times get tough. Success is rarely a solo journey—it’s the people you choose to have by your side that make it truly meaningful.
