The company started in 2012 and offer photo booths in Guam for their customers. With the island’s hospitable culture, Rendezvooth provides an opportunity to cherish those memories with ready print photos. Photo booths are manned by the staff of the company instead of being operated by coins.

Owner, Rafael DeAusen was not always a photographer. He started out as a freelance writer for a publication. He then noticed his coworker was enthusiastic about photography and that interested him.

It came to his attention that he was only receiving 15 cents a word for his publications while his coworker who was in charge of taking photos, was receiving $25 for every picture that made it on the newspaper.

This opened DeAusen’s eyes and he made the decision to learn more about photography.

Once DeAusen bought his first camera in 2007, this was the start of his career in photography.

Shortly after he purchased his camera, it was stolen but he did not allow that to phase him.

“I just kept writing and saving money and got a new set of equipment,” DeAusen said.

He shot photos for the University of Guam’s nursing school’s pinning ceremony— his first photo-shooting event.

From there, he obtained a business license, which allowed him to make money as a photographer.

In 2012, he won tickets to fly to Sydney. There, he visited a venue that had a vintage photo booth, which was powered by coins. He already had the idea of starting up a photobooth in Guam but he was unsure. He explained that once his vintage photo developed, that was when he made the final decision to start his own photo booth company.

Along with photo booths, the company is contracted with Pacific Island Club’s Dinner Show to take pictures of the dancers and the tourists.

Andrew Carlos, an employee at Rendezvous Designs described what it is like to work for the company.

“When I first started at RendezVooth, it was like I was welcomed in with open arms,” Carlos said. “They treat you with care and show the respect they give their customers.”

Carlos began working with the company in 2013, and continues to work there because it offers growth.

“From when I first started to work there until now, it has tremendously grown into a family culture,” he said.

In Guam, there are always events hosted to bring family and friends together. Rendezvooth offers their booths to be used for every island event such as, birthdays, weddings, 5K races, christenings, and more.

Customers also raved about this photo booth company.

Ashley Conolly chose RendezVooth to be provide a photo booth at her wedding reception.

“I was told that Rendezvooth had the best template designs, so I decided to try it out for myself,” Conolly said.

Not only was Conolly in love with the template design, but she also enjoyed the lively staff and photos

“It was a good thing I went with the company because it offered the guests something fun to look forward to and the quality of the photos were perfect,” Conolly said.

DeAusen explains that there are more things to come for Rendezvous Designs for the upcoming new year.

This event featured DJ Sylnt, Supagi, and DJ Jpogi. They put on a show lasted 2 a.m. There were no still feet on the dance floor that night.

By the end of the night, the DJs were able to make the crowd so pumped up, that part of the crowd climbed onto the stage and danced until the music was put to a stop.

Aside from the music, Tropical Productions made sure to provide drinks, food, and even a photo booth at the event.

Drinks were brought to us by Miller Lite and Sheraton Laguna Resort provided finger food that could be purchased as well.

To ensure the safety of others, security was also prevalent during Grind House. Before entering, a search was done with every individual to make sure that no one walked in with potential weapons.

Lance Gogue attended the event dressed in a baywatch lifeguard costume. Gogue sported a stunning red jacket and flashing red shorts.

Gogue said he wanted to go with a 1990’s theme this Halloween, which is why he decided to dress up as a character from the famous show, Baywatch.

Although his red attire was definitely eye-catching that night, he says that the best costume he saw that night was a man dressed up in a T-Rex suit.

Gogue said the Grind house provided an opportunity for him to spend time with his friends and step away from boredom this Halloween. “What better way to spend Halloween than to party with friends.”

Shaine Munoz, was another attendee at the event. Munoz was covered with bloody wounds and dressed up as a trauma victim. As costume props, he carried an IV bag filled with red liquid that looked like blood and both of his legs were wrapped with a tourniquet with fake blood rolling down under it.

Munoz decided to go as a trauma victim because he is a medic in the military so he was provided with the materials for his costume already.

“I told myself if I did not have a costume, I was not going to go. Having the supplies already really came in handy,” Munoz described.

Munoz explained that even though tickets were available for purchase for $20, attending he even was worth every penny. Seeing and spending time with his friends was the highlight of his night.

“It isn’t too often where we can all get together, have some drinks, dance and enjoy ourselves.” Munoz said.

The record-breaking tourist arrivals this year is a cause of excitement for Guam Visitor Bureau’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Nathan Denight.

Denight has been with the bureau for about five years. He began his career in GVB as deputy general manager in 2011.

In 2014, he was promoted to President and CEO. His work is a reflection of GVB’s mission of making Guam a better place to live, work and visit.

Denight explains that a work day at GVB is never the same.

On one day, he could be on-island brainstorming activities related to promoting and developing Guam as a destination.

On the next day, he could be traveling overseas taking part in a trade show.

Having too little time is a challenge that comes with the job. For Denight, there are never enough hours in a day to get through everything.

“I really appreciate the opportunity to make a mark in such a dynamic and important industry to Guam,” Denight said.

Along with this, he loves how the job gives him the opportunity to learn new things and meet new people everyday.

Some of Denight’s recent accomplishments include successfully promoting the Festival of Pacific Arts (FESTPAC), and the opening of the Guam Museum and Hotel Dust Thani. He had also spearheaded Guam’s hosting of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) summit. In addition, Guam has reached 1.5 million tourists this fiscal year, breaking the record by almost 130,000 more than last year.

Guam’s tourism industry has evolved through the years, and today, the island has a more diversified target tourist market. Guam now sees individuals from Korea, China, and Russia.

Denight explained how he and GVB have changed through the years.

“I have been able to help shape the way the bureau operates  and it’s nice to see what the bureau puts into a plan happening,” he said.

He hopes to continue to help transform the tourism industry for years to come.
