Hi there, I’m Richard and way back in 2012 my wife (Georgie) and I founded Vintage Booth with the aim of providing some of the very best quirky photo booths the UK had ever seen, and ever since we’ve been going from strength to strength.

Georgie and I have been photographing weddings as Angelic Photo since 2003, and one day in 2012 one of our brides rang us up.  She was desperate to have a photobooth at their wedding that year, but she hated the way they looked and wanted something completely different to all of the run-of-the-mill box booths, pods, taxis, mirrors, and just about anything else found on the market today.  The bride and groom were having a vintage-themed wedding in a barn…..so could we help?  Always one to rise to the challenge I asked her to give me a couple of weeks and I’d see what I could do.  Et voila, the Vintage Booth was born!

Soon after we added Ellie the Caravan to our booths for outdoor weddings (great to save on inside space) and since then we’ve extended the Vintage to include the Parlour Wall for weddings and events with bags of indoor space, and Betty the Bell Tent for the ultimate in outdoor wedding entertainment.

All of our booths have to fulfil our own strict criteria, they have to be self-enclosed so that our theming is carried throughout, what you see in the photos is what you get (no flash stands or any modern kit on show), they have to be as accessible as possible, they have to look amazing and most importantly of all they have to be tremendous fun.

We’re pretty confident that you won’t find anything like our booths around, and all of our prices are all-inclusive and totally transparent so what’s not to love?!

Anyway, have a look around, check out some of the photos and if you can see one of our amazing photobooths fitting at your wedding or event then just give us a shout, after all we’re ‘people people’ so even if you wanted to just chat through your wedding plans we’re not the sales-y type.

Our first photo booth was created toward the end of 2013 with a view to providing the wedding and events market with something different and aesthetically fabulous. There’s a plethora of the more traditional ‘coke can’ booths and magic mirror photobooths out there, you know the ones, where you go into a plastic pod with a neon inflatable guitar. That’s all well and good, but it’s not really our style and sometimes a booth with a little more refinement is what’s called for, so Vintage Booth was born offering a completely different class of booth. Have a look through our photos below, the booths are all self-contained which means there’s no break in theme for lighting or a photographer standing there with a camera, all of the lighting is provided by vintage shabby chic standard lamps, and the camera/technology system is all hidden away in gorgeous steamer trunks.

Brides, grooms, guests and other people we bump into at corporate events can’t get over just how fantastic our vintage photo booth is.  It has all the fun of a ‘regular’ booth but with the added attraction that it just looks so much better! It really fits in well at weddings and events. The booth system is really simple, you and your guests choose some props, press the button and within about 15s the booth produces a 7″x5″ print to take away.

Check out our retro caravan photobooth in the photos below as well. A fantastic addition to our quirky photo booth stock, this lovely little caravan has been restored and transformed into a fabulous photo booth in its own right perfect for weddings and events.  Ellie the caravan looks amazing next to marquees and tipis, and anywhere that you might not have room inside for a photo booth.

The booth part is exactly the same as our other photo booths in that it’s entirely self-contained and all your guests have to do is pick some funny props, sit down and push the button. A print is printed within about 15s and your guests have something unique and totally different to take away with them! The caravan photobooth is proving VERY popular and we’re really pleased to welcome it into Vintage Booth’s stock of unique and quirky wedding photo booths.  Please note that Ellie the Caravan is only available for events up to 1hr from our base in Anstey, Leicester.

For the larger venue and the more adventurous couple we have The Parlour, our drawing room wall backdrop set.  The Parlour is an upgrade for the vintage booth and entails a freestanding 12′ wide wall set complete with wooden panelling, wallpaper, a telephone table with gramophone and a small red vintage chair.  Suitable for the larger venue The Parlour has four cut panels surrounded by gilt picture frames, the twist being that each frame is a hinged door so your guests can stand behind and truly be ‘in the picture’.  For the actual pictures we can even get a selection of your photos printed to use as placeholders for a small extra cost.

At the moment The Parlour is an addition to the Vintage Booth at £200 extra (so £695 for 3hrs, £795 for 4hrs etc.) and includes everything you get with the vintage other than the black/white cloth backdrop and the chairs, the four photo frames can be fully branded for an additional £50. We’re restricting the number of photos taken with each booth use to 1 for The Parlour as it doesn’t really lend itself well to changing props and running around for obvious reasons!

Betty the Bell Tent Photobooth is the latest addition to our stock of wonderfully unique and quirky photo booths with a difference.  She looks amazing set up next to tipis for tipi weddings with the added bonus that no extra room is take up inside, as we literally bring the room for the booth with us!  Our Bell Tent Photobooth is a 6m diameter bell tent (so roughly 9m diameter with guys) enclosing a fabulous shabby chic/vintage/retro/Moroccan style booth with apple crates, Moroccan throws & lamps, bamboo styling and some lovely colourful rag rugs.

The Bell Tent costs the same as our Parlour Wall photo booth, so starting at £695 for a three hour package fully inclusive of everything you’d need.  For the ultimate in laid-back wedding photobooth shenanigans!  In the same way as any of our booths, you can have Betty on site and set up for the whole day if required with our full day upgrade, that means she’ll be set up and open but only working as a booth for the time you’d like (so you could have the setup on site from the morning of your wedding but then operating as a booth 7pm-11pm for example).

One of our newest booths is this fab old-fashioned cinema-themed booth for the film fans out there!  All of the posters on the back ‘wall’ can be customised so you can have the graphics from your favourite movies on show.  We carry around a nice selection of movie-related props for this booth as well, we’ve got your back whether your thing is Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, The Shining, Nightmare on Elm Street, Toy Story and everything in between.

The ultimate in different photobooths, the Cinema Booth comes complete with film set style lighting, plush velvet curtains and even some authentic traditional movie theatre seats to round off the gorgeous aesthetic.

You’re fully furnished with a box of lovely props for your booth, moustaches on sticks, bowler hats, speech bubble chalkboards and more! These all add to the unique fun of our booth and really get people into the spirit.

Your prints can be fully customised in terms of layout and branding. If you want to incorporate your wedding design or corporate logo that’s all good. Prints on the night are unlimited and available for further purchase on our gallery (at very reasonable rates!).

One of our assistants will be on hand for the entire duration, usually setting up around an hour before it’s needed. All of our assistants are very friendly (that’s why we use them!) and knowledgeable in case anything goes wrong. We have our own smart workwear or we can wear clothes to your spec.

All of your photos go onto our web gallery at no extra cost.  This is password protected and you get a full year’s access so that your friends and family can view your photos. Both the original images (i.e. the photos taken) and the composites (i.e. the prints) can go on.

Our prices are all easy to understand, with no ‘hidden extras’ or catches. For the Vintage, Caravan or Cinema Booths our minimum package is three hours at £495 with each additional hour being £100 so a four hour package is £595, five hours is £695 and so on. Most places within a 65 mile radius of our base in Leicestershire are a minimum of three hours at £495, sometimes more sometimes less depending on the location and date of your event so get in touch for an accurate quote. We’re based in Leicester but work nationwide, there’s no extra mileage charge but we may ask that a minimum package length applies to cover our cost.

Because of their more involved setup the Parlour Wall and Bell Tent start at £695 for three hours – however with the Bell Tent we come and set up earlier in the day so you and your guests can use it as a chill out area during the day as well, with the booth element being operational usually in the evening.

Included with ALL packages is an attendant on site throughout, unlimited use & 7″x5″ prints on the night, a bunch of props on sticks and a password-protected gallery. We can also offer guestbooks at £45 each for an A4 personalised book or one of our spiffing custom branded USBs in a cute little box for £45.

Our booth can take anywhere between 1 and 99 photos per print, most people go for two strips of three or four in a row, but it’s all very flexible and completely brandable. Your photos all go onto a password-protected gallery too so that friends and family can log on and see the fun!
