We had the good fortune of connecting with Guillermo Dipp and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Guillermo, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
It all started when my sister from Dipp Photography kept saying how she gets asked so many times about photo booth referrals. Then after a few minutes of talking she asked if I know someone that would want to partner up with her to start a photo booth company and that’s when the light bulb went off! This business comes very natural to me since I love interacting with people and seeing them smile. Fast forward 4 years later and here we are!
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My professional career believe it or not started in the Dental industry! I worked in a dental laboratory management position for around 8 years before opening Dipp Photobooth and that experience certainly helped avoid mistakes that I otherwise would’ve made if I didn’t have the knowledge of managing a business. Definitely our attention to detail and charismatic approach separates us from the rest and I’m very proud to say this about myself and my team. There definitely have been plenty of hurdles that we’ve had to go through and COVID-19 did not help. However, this helped us evolve by providing a virtual photo booth service that we otherwise would’ve never dreamed up in the past. I want the world to know that we are all about smiles and bringing joy whenever we are a part of the event. We love being the hit of the party and it fills us up when guests post or talk about our service days or weeks after the event.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Would definitely rent a slingshot and go on a ride around las Olas in Fort Lauderdale! Gives the best view since the car is a convertible to allow for the beautiful views of the beach where there are plenty of bars and delicious cuisine to visit.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Wow this is a tough one! It’s hard to pinpoint one specific person because there have been many integral people that have played a big part in our success. Definitely my sister Elba and my wife Lisandra deserve a huge recognition in our story. Their continued motivation is what keeps me going.
