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.

10/10 Recommend!

We had so many compliments on our photobooth. It was so easy to use and the photos look amazing. The gallery and print outs are so good for the memories. Was also super helpful in designing a print out - do not hesitate to book! 😁

The Photo Bay is a Must

Having a Photo Booth at your wedding is a popular thing and a great way to capture more memories, but having one in a VW camper van in something else!! The van looks amazing inside and out, Tim was brilliant! our wedding was child heavy and he was great with them. The photo bay was a hit with all of our guest, Tim offered us an add on package so that he would stick one of each photo into our guestbook he even matched our photo cards to our guestbook. The whole set up is amazing and we cannot recommend Tim and The Photo Bay enough
Thanks

So much fun 🤩

Firstly my dad had recommended thephotobay from a wedding that he had been too and stated that I needed to book him for my wedding and I am so glad I did!
It was so much fun, from start to finish. As soon as he arrived, in the VW campervan, my guests heads were already turned, asking why there was a campervan here and with telling them it was a photo booth, I could tell they were going to have so much fun!
The props available to have photos with were brilliant and huge variety, the guestbook was incredible and Tim asked us what design we wanted. Extremely professional and a genuinely nice person! You get to have a copy for the guest book and keep a copy for yourself. You get the link to all photos taken on the night as well as airdropping these to yourself if you wanted too. Guests are still telling us how much fun it was.
I would say 10/10 would recommended getting this for your wedding! Thank you Tim for making a part of our wedding amazing!

Fantastic addition to our wedding!

Would highly recommend The PhotoBay to any couples considering this for their weddings. Tim was amazing to communicate with from start to finish. Absolutely love how he made our invitation design into the photobooth design, really made it extra special. All of our guests absolutely loved the photobooth in the evening and really added that extra touch to the day!

Great addition to our wedding!

We can't recommend The PhotoBay enough! If you’re looking for a unique experience that will leave a lasting impression on your guests, this is it. We instantly fell in love with the idea of the yellow VW Photo Booth—it was something completely different from the usual setup and fit perfectly with our rustic barn venue.

Tim’s communication was spot-on from start to finish. He gave us plenty of options to choose from, and when we were deciding on a guestbook, he went above and beyond to personalise it to match our wedding theme, which we really appreciated. It added that extra special touch!

The props were fun, and the VW was in perfect condition—spotlessly clean and ready for action. Our guests were absolutely blown away by the booth, with many of them still talking about it to this day. They hadn’t seen anything like it before, and it was a total hit!

On top of that, Tim did an amazing job creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere for everyone, especially on the warm evening. It was a great way for our guests to capture memories, and it really added to the overall vibe of our wedding.

If you want something different, memorable, and fun, we highly recommend The PhotoBay. You won’t be disappointed!

PhotoPod Plus

We hired Tim for our wedding in Suffolk and chose the PhotoPod Plus — it was a huge hit with our guests! Tim was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, sending us drafts of the photo designs to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. We especially loved that guests could instantly download their photos to their phones, which added to the fun of the evening. I would highly recommend Tim for any wedding or event — he offers a fantastic range of options and delivers excellent service. Thank you, again!

The hit of our wedding reception!

We are SO glad we had the Photobay as part of our wedding reception! They definitely were the hit of the night - everyone absolutely loved using the photo booth and the photo quality is amazing!

Tim was so accommodating with how we wanted the design of our print offs, allowing us to book for a longer period of time and just for anything we asked for! The night wouldn’t have been the same without them and even better that we have SO many amazing photos of all of our guests!

I would book them again in a heartbeat - the perfect addition to any event!!!

The best addition to the wedding!

We had the photo bay for our wedding and it was the loveliest addition to the wedding. They were so quick with responding in the build up, made the perfect photos, and went down a treat with the guests.

We’ve loved looking back through the photos after the day and seeing all the happy faces!

Entertainment for all ages...

We had him for our wedding the weekend gone, had to really because he had also done my cousin's wedding (1st ever customer) and then my sisters wedding.
It kept the kids and the tipsy big kids entertained for hours...
Tim you deserve a medal for the professional manor you up hold with the chaos of the guest. All our guests commented on your unique VW Camper (Eddie) saying it was so cool
Thank you doesn't seem enough.

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!
