📷 Classic & Rustic Booths — Timeless Nostalgia from Box Photo Booths
For a dash of vintage flair, our Fotoautomat and Rustic Tower Photo Booths deliver charm that fits beautifully in weddings and themed events. These booths produce instantly printed photos and come with personalised templates, lighting, tech and a physical guest book, a perfect tangible keepsake for you and your guests.
The Fotoautomat is nostalgic and stylish, with glossy prints and a classic feel that keeps guests gathered around. Prices typically start from around £645 for 3 hours and go up to £845 for a full day.
If you want something a little taller and more attention-grabbing, the Rustic Tower mixes that classic photo booth feel with a bit of rustic design charm, ideal for countryside barns or outdoor celebrations.
These options are brilliant when you want both photos and keepsakes, particularly for weddings where tangible memories matter.
🌿 Wild Garden & The Rustic Bundle — Wow Factor Included
If you’re after that “Wow!” moment, the kind that has guests talking long after the party, our Wild Garden Photo Booth and Rustic Bundle are standout choices. Both are designed to be visually stunning and offer loads of personality.
The Wild Garden booth blends floral and rustic elements with professional imaging hardware and often becomes an event centrepiece.
Meanwhile, the Rustic Bundle offers a combo of a Digital Selfie Pod, Rustic Arcade Machine and 5ft jumbo Love Letters, perfect if you want multiple experiences in one package. It’s a great pick for weddings or big events where entertainment needs to flow all day and night.
Prices start around £445 for all-day hire with weekend options available, and trust us, your guests will notice the difference.
💌 Extras That Make It Personal
Photo booths are brilliant on their own, but a few extras can really amplify the fun:
Giant Love Letters (5FT tall!) — a beautifully bold prop that doubles as décor.
Guest Books — include all your prints with messages for a personal keepsake.
Retro Arcade Games — great for breaking ice or keeping guests entertained between photos.
These add-ons aren’t just extras, they’re memory multipliers.
🎉 How to Maximise Your Photo Booth at Your Event
So you’ve booked the booth, now what? Here are some fun, practical tips to ensure the experience is legendary:
1. Plan Where It Goes
Photo booths work best when they’re visible but not in the way. Near a bar, dancefloor or chill space is ideal. You want guests to see it and feel invited to jump in.
2. Set the Mood With Props and Themes
Props make photos fun, the more playful and themed they are, the more guests interact. Talk to us if you want ideas tailored to your event’s vibe!
3. Schedule Moments to Use It
Mention the booth during speeches or when the music kicks in. A little nudge can boost uptake, especially for guests who might be shy.
4. Use Your Guest Book
Encourage guests to drop a print with a message. It turns candid fun into a heartfelt memento you’ll cherish forever.
5. Share Digitally
If you’ve chosen a digital-first booth (like a Selfie Pod), let guests text or email their images right there, the instant share adds a whole layer of excitement.
These little touches help make your photo booth not just a station, but a core part of the event narrative.
🧠 Which Booth Is Right For Your Event?
Choosing the right photo booth depends on what you want from the experience:
Looking for modern fun with quick sharing? Go for a Selfie Pod.
Want physical photo prints and nostalgia? A Fotoautomat or Rustic Tower is perfect.
