Based in Essex and operating throughout the Essex and EOE area, the PhotoBay is a photo booth company that creates unforgettable wedding memories. Conceptualised in 2017 and newly operating in 2021, we operate out of a 1969 VW campervan that has been painstakingly converted into the ultimate mobile photo booth. This photo booth-on-wheels now works to capture fun-filled memories of your special day while providing an eclectic decoration piece at your reception.

Services Offered

The PhotoBay offers a range of packages to suit the vision of any newlyweds-to-be. All set packages include a consultation in advance of your event, allowing you to collaborate with us to create a bespoke template design. Photo booths are available for up to four-and-a-half hours, with extra time available upon request. Of course a wide range of props will be provided, you just need to bring the party! We can take care of arrangements directly with your venue, and will often visit before your big day to provide a stress-free and seamless experience. Our booths are always accompanied by an attendant throughout the night to help with any printing, hand out extra props, and just generally interact with your guests to make sure they have the best time. For those who have something specific in mind, custom packages are available.

Aby & James wedding 30.11.24

From the minute we first contacted Tim, his professionalism was second to none. Tim helped replicate our wedding invitation design onto the guestbook cover which looked fantastic. His response times to any questions we may have had were almost instant. The online gallery and phone message montage was with us to access the following day from the wedding and the quality of the product was amazing. Would highly recommend without any hesitation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We booked the Photo Bay for our wedding in September and it was such a hit with our guests! From the initial booking, Tim was so friendly and accommodating, the van was also so competitively priced compared to others we looked at. We were able to custom our photo background to match our wedding theme / logo and this really made the experience memorable for all our guests who were able to take home a photo from the booth! Tim arrived on time, set up and welcomed our guests without us even realising which was perfect and meant we didn’t have to worry on the day. Also wonderful with the kids and our dog 🐕 - literally cannot fault Tim and The Photo Bay - stunning van, amazing photos and the best guy!

Just the absolute best!

I always wanted a photo booth at my wedding but the photobay was next level! Tim was super lovely and so so helpful with designing the cards. The vw van itself is just immaculate and went down an absolute storm at my wedding! It was all so smooth and easy to use and my guests loved it. Tim, again, was so lovely to deal with and made everyone feel comfortable!! I would highly recommend him to anyone who will listen and hopefully I find an excuse to hold another event where I can use them again. An absolute dream! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wow! What more can we say?!

Wow! What more can we say?!

We hired the show stopper Camper van Photo Booth, and what fun we had! Everyone loved it! Such a lovely interactive way to get your guests up and out, as well as making sure they leave a message in the guest book.

Tim was beyond helpful. During the booking process, he talked us through our options and recommendations. He kept us up to date with previews of our picture borders, and guest book mock up.

On the night, we had nothing but good, fun vibes with Tim! He even managed to catch candid shots of our party when we were lucky enough to catch the northern lights.

I cannot - CANNOT - recommend enough! Thank you again Tim for making our day amazing 💕

What a hit!

We booked Tim's PhotoPod Pro package for our wedding on Saturday (28/9/24). He was brilliant from initial enquiry through to the day itself. Tim was really responsive, mainly communicating over WhatsApp, sending over designs for both the photo print and and guest book cover.

The photo booth was a massive hit with everyone at the wedding - I don't recall a single time where there wasn't somebody over there - the massive selection of props also helped!

Highly recommend the pro package to get the guest book and online gallery as well. We had great fun looking through all the photos the next day and also brilliant that not only us, but our guests as well can download any of their pictures from the night!

Honestly cannot thank or recommend Tim enough!!!

Outstanding!

Tim was amazing from booking all the way to our wedding day! As soon as we saw the photobooth at a wedding fair we knew we needed to book it for our wedding, he even agreed to travel to Norfolk for us and we are so grateful. The prints were perfect, the guestbook was beautiful and value for money incredible. The guests loved every second, we couldn’t recommend him enough!

The best photobooth for your wedding day

Tim was absolutely phenomenal all the way from enquiry, to the wedding day and beyond.
BOOKING AND PLANNING
Replies to my many questions were always incredibly quick and thorough, and Tim could not do enough to help us.
Tim created an amazing template for our photos, offering to fit our wedding themes and preferences, matching our font perfectly and giving us lots of options to choose between. We loved the end result.
THE WEDDING DAY
On the day itself Tim turned up with lots of time to spare, and set up with no problems, fitting into the day seamlessly. He was so approachable and friendly to all the guests. Not only does the photo bay act as a photobooth, it also acts as a backdrop for other photos- a fantastic two in one offering! At the end of the day Tim had set aside our photos and popped them into the postbox ready for us to look through in the morning, and what amazing photographs they were- we were in hysterics looking at them. The great range of props available and the atmosphere in the photobooth were definitely captured in all our photos.
POST WEDDING
All photos were sent across to us digitally the next morning- an unbelievably fast turn around time. Not only did we have our photobooth photos, Tim had snapped some extras of us which turned out to be some of my favourites from the day.
IN CONCLUSION
Tim went above and beyond throughout, and I would highly recommend to book the Photobay if you are considering it for your event- We have absolutely no regrets!

It truly made our wedding unforgettable!

We had used The Photobay services at our wedding, and the vintage pod was an absolute hit! Tim was brilliant—very helpful, easy to communicate with from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and he ensured everything ran smoothly. Guests loved the easy-to-use touchscreen option to share the photos on social media and the personalised design for the prints, featuring our names and wedding date, added a special touch.
Tim has also kept some prints for us and given us a USB stick with all the photos immediately after the wedding together with access to online gallery that we could share with our guests. Highly recommend this addition for any event—it truly made our wedding unforgettable!

The perfect addition to our day!

The Photobay was the perfect addition to our day and created so much fun and laughter! We opted for the package with video messages and can highly recommend as it was great to watch back and relive the day. Tim was amazing from day one, and was regularly in contact with potential designs and layouts to make the photos truly ours. He was great on the day as well! Overall, would highly recommend, the VW campervan looks beautiful and was the talk of the wedding!

Amazing from start to finish!

As soon as we came across The PhotoBay in 2022, we knew we wanted them at our wedding!
It was such a talking point with our guests & they loved the photo printouts too, such a lovely memento for them all! We chose to have the add-on of short video clips from our guests too - we had a good laugh at some of the messages from those!
Tim was great with keeping in contact with us through the planning, even designing the print out to perfectly fit our request! He was so professional and friendly, so pleased to have him as one of our vendors! Thank you again Tim!

A perfect match!

We were thrilled to find The Photo Bay for our wedding - Tim was a joy to work with throughout and the van was an absolutely perfect match for our venue and the atmosphere of our day! We loved being able to bundle into the photo booth en masse and have a laugh together. All our guests enjoyed it and the results are totally brilliant 😂 It was a really special addition to our wedding day - thank you Tim!

Incredible from start to finish!

We had an absolutely fantastic time with The PhotoPod at our wedding on Monday. All of our guests had so much fun, and it really added something special to the day! We loved the fact that the guests had prints of the photos, we had copies in our guestbook, and we were sent a link to download and share the photos really soon afterwards! Would 100% recommend, thank you so much!!

Brilliant!

We absolutely love photo booths at any event so we had to have one at our wedding!
The Photobay is local to us and recommended so we of course had to go with them!
We loved what Tim had to offer, the photobooth being a screen rather than the massive ones you used to see taking up so much room!
There were plenty of props, a backdrop was offered but we didn’t have that and all the pictures were great! Fab quality and everyone took away their own copy with an online link to the pictures too!
We got to design our layout which was nice and made it feel more personal
Definitely recommend using the Photobay and we probably will again!
Thank you!
