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.

Fantastic addition!!

We honestly couldn’t recommend the VW Camper Photo Booth enough! It was an absolute highlight of our wedding and brought so much fun, laughter and excitement to the day.

The camper itself looked incredible and was such a gorgeous addition to our wedding, but more importantly, Tim was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was so easy, professional and friendly, and our guests absolutely LOVED it!

We’ve got the most amazing memories (and some hilarious photos!) to look back on, and so many of our guests have said how much they enjoyed the photo booth. It really was the perfect way to get everyone involved and having fun.

If you’re looking for something special, fun and memorable for your wedding, book the VW Camper Photo Booth — you won’t regret it!

We honestly couldn’t recommend The PhotoBay enough! It was such a beautiful and unique addition to our wedding and something that our guests absolutely loved. It’s so much more than a traditional photo booth — the whole setup is beautiful, fun and really adds something special to the day. It was lovely seeing our guests enjoying it throughout the evening, and it created so many fun memories for us to look back on.

Tim was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He was so helpful and friendly throughout the booking process, answered all of our questions and made everything feel completely effortless. On the wedding day itself, he was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He even made sure our prints were added into our guest book and that our guests had the opportunity to sign it, which was such a lovely touch and something we really appreciated.

The photos themselves came out amazing, and we now have such a wonderful collection of memories from the day that we may not have captured otherwise. It was honestly one of those little additions that made our wedding feel even more personal and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual photo booth, I would 100% recommend The PhotoBay. Our guests had so much fun with it, the photos were fantastic, and Tim was an absolute pleasure to deal with. It was worth every penny and I’m so glad we chose to have The PhotoBay as part of our wedding day! 🤍

Tim was incredible from booking through to the day. He was responsive to any questions we had (big or small!). The Photobooth was a real hit through our drinks reception and has provided us with an incredible guest book that we will treasure forever. We cannot thank you enough Tim. Perfect!

Tim was brilliant

We hired Tim from Photobay for our wedding, and he was fantastic from start to finish. The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests—everyone loved it, and the pictures came out great! Tim was friendly, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Photobay to anyone looking for a photo booth for their event. Thank you, Tim!

Great fun and brilliant photos

We hired Photobay for our festival-style wedding and from start to finish Tim has been fantastic! The campervan looked great in our venue and our guests had a lot of fun getting their selfies and choosing all the different props. Tim was completely professional throughout, and always had a smile on his face. I was particularly impressed that our photos were personalised!
I'd highly recommend Photobay.

Amazing photos and so much fun!

We booked the Photobay after seeing Tim and Eddie at the first wedding show we went to and we didn't regret it! Tim was so friendly and clearly passionate about what he does. We had to use the indoor photobooth for our wedding, but it was still fantastic and the photos are excellent! Thanks Tim for helping us capture our guests having a great time!

We Love Tim!

The photo booth and Tim were the final touches to our Wedding Day! From day one of contacting Tim, he was incredibly professional and so informative about the service he offers! He offered so many different options and was even able to personalise the prints for us. The amount of props he bought were so much fun and all our guests constantly told us how much they loved the Photo Booth. No wedding would be complete with Tim. Thank you for everything.

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!!!
