Beautifully built. Brilliantly good fun.

TGW Photobooths brings a handcrafted Retro Oak Photo Booth to weddings across Cheshire, Manchester and the North West. Think friends squeezing into a photo, grandparents joining in and a stack of prints to take home. With its solid oak finish, professional lighting and DSLR camera, the booth looks as good in your venue as the memories it captures.

The Retro Oak package: £495 for three hours

Your booking includes:

  • Three hours of unlimited photo sessions and instant printing
  • A friendly booth attendant throughout the hire
  • A choice of 12 premium backdrops
  • A personalised print layout with your names and wedding date
  • Digital copies of every photograph
  • Full setup and pack-down, separate from your booked booth time

Each photo session produces two instant prints, so there is a copy for your guests and one for your guestbook if you choose to add one. From a classic white backdrop to sparkle or rustic textures, the setup and print design can complement your celebration.

Make the memories your own

Add an Audio Guestbook for £100 and keep their voices as well as their smiles. Guests lift the retro phone and leave a message, from a few heartfelt words to something that will have you laughing years later. Edited digital MP3 recordings are included.

A physical guestbook is £35, including adhesive, pens and help from the attendant. Prefer to bring your own? Please bring your own glue and pens too.

Extra operating hours are £75 each. If you need the booth in position earlier but paused during a meal or room change, idle time is available at £35 per hour.

Easy to plan, lovely to have on the day

Share your date, venue and preferred booth hours so the team can confirm availability and agree the timings with you before booking. Setup usually takes around 35 minutes, with access needed approximately 45 minutes before the booth starts. Pack-down takes around 15 minutes. Neither comes out of your booked hire time.

Allow around 2m x 2m and a standard UK power socket; the team will check the proposed position and backdrop requirements with you. Outdoor setups need a fully covered, weather-protected space and prior agreement. The booth has Public Liability Insurance and PAT-tested equipment, with certificates available on request.

Travel within Cheshire, Manchester and the North West is included. For venues further afield, any mileage charge will be confirmed in your quote.

Ready to bring the booth to your wedding?

Send an enquiry here on Hitched with your date, venue and preferred timings. The team will confirm the options and send the photobooth guide. Once availability and the arrangements are agreed, a £150 deposit secures your booking.

The best vendor and the best memories!!

I can’t recommend Tom’s photo booth enough! We hired the booth with the guestbook add on and it went down an absolute treat. All of the guests got stuck in and had the best time (even our over 80’s!). It gave a perfect, fun, evening entertainment option, which doubled up as extra wedding favours as everyone got a copy of their photo to take home, too. The staff were super and very accommodating throughout the night. The unique style of photo booth was great as it still gave everyone loads of room to move around and loads of big group shot opportunities! The guest book was an amazing add on! It was lovely having the photos next to the messages, it really brought the words to life! Great value for money, great communication in the lead up and great service overall!!!

Couldnt have asked for a better photographer!

Captured our day perfectly, made us feel really comfortable (we both hate getting photos usually) and adapted to anything we wanted on the day. We are so pleased with our photos.

Highly recommend

We hired Tom’s photobooth for our wedding and would highly recommend. Great addition to our evening reception and all of our guests loved using it throughout the night. Service provided on the day was great and ran smoothly. We had the guest book add on which allowed guests to receive 2 photo printouts, with one added to our guestbook which became a really lovely keepsake from our wedding day! We could also choose from a number of photo layouts to personalise with our names which was a great touch. Thanks Tom!

Perfect Last Minutes Deal

I tried to find something else to add on my wedding day and we got an idea to have a photo booth. Tom is really great on providing all details and everything is really easy, even for the last minute booking (at least last minute for me). The booking is really easy, he provides all details that we need and very flexible on customization. I have a wedding logo and he put it on the photo layout beautifully. Thanks a lot Tom!

Good end product but disappointing experience

We booked a photobooth and audio guestbook from Tom for our wedding day. I want to start this review by saying that we were really happy with the equipment, both the photobooth and audio guestbook are of high quality and the results were brilliant. We got unlimited prints for the photobooth with digital and physical copies, which were a great souvenir for our guests to keep and remember the day by. We initially reached out to Tom on WhatsApp, received plenty of information on the services and managed to book with ease. However, since booking we felt the communication from Tom really went downhill. Tom had changed from a personal WhatsApp to a business one without telling us, meaning a couple of queries we had sent months before the event were never responded to. By chance, we noticed the number had changed on his website so closer to the event we sent a message to check in. We still had to pick our personalisation for the photo booth and this caused us a bit of stress closer to the event because Tom was not responding without us having to follow up. On the day, one of Tom’s assistants arrived and set up both the photobooth and guestbook. Although we’re happy with the output, we felt like his assistant could have been more helpful when guests asked questions on how the photobooth worked and also brought a bit more energy, as he was often found just sitting on his phone at the side. Overall I think the service itself was good, and we’re really happy with the output, but communication could be so much better.

Fantastic company!

We used Tom for the photo booth at our wedding and would highly recommend! There was loads of choice for backdrops and print outs - Tom was great at communication and letting us know our options. Our guests absolutely loved the booth on the night as well so we were glad for the unlimited prints!!

Amazing Photographer

From start to finish he has been amazing, very helpful. Very easy to book and guided us through everything and was only a message away if needed.

Day of the wedding can’t fault a thing helpful and professional.
For someone who really doesn’t like having photos taken he felt me feel at ease and not awkward all day.

Doing specific shots he was great had his list ready and go through them all in good timing so people weren’t just hanging around waiting for them for a long time some of the best organisation I have seen with a photographer.
My mum couldn’t stop raving about Tim and how he’s the most friendly, professional, helpful photographer she has come across at anyway wedding.

If our sneak peaks are anything to go by our final images are going to be amazing!

Would highly recommend to anyone who is getting married!

Ps we also had the Photo Booth and telephone from him again all this was set up and was perfect.

Incredible Experience

We had the most incredible experience working with Tom. From the moment we met, his passion for capturing love stories shone through. He made us feel so comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day, and the final photos were beyond our expectations. Every shot was beautifully composed and captured the emotion of the day perfectly. We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Tom for our wedding photoshoot!

Captivating Moments with a Talented Photobooth Photographer

We booked a photobooth photographer for our daughter's sweet sixteen party, and it was a huge hit! Tom was energetic, personable and had a great rapport with the teenagers. He knew how to create a fun and lively atmosphere, making sure everyone had a blast posing for the camera. Photo prints were of excellent quality, and the online gallery provided an easy way for guests to access and share their favorite shots. We have received tons of compliments about Tom from our guests. Highly recommended!

We are so glad we chose Wedding Photo Booth for our wedding reception. The service was impeccable, and the attendants were friendly and engaging. The booth was easy to use, and the variety of props and backdrops provided endless entertainment for our guests. The personalized photo strips with our names and wedding date were a lovely touch. It was the perfect addition to our celebration!
