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!

The best photobooth for your wedding day

Tim was absolutely phenomenal all the way from enquiry, to the wedding day and beyond.
BOOKING AND PLANNING
Replies to my many questions were always incredibly quick and thorough, and Tim could not do enough to help us.
Tim created an amazing template for our photos, offering to fit our wedding themes and preferences, matching our font perfectly and giving us lots of options to choose between. We loved the end result.
THE WEDDING DAY
On the day itself Tim turned up with lots of time to spare, and set up with no problems, fitting into the day seamlessly. He was so approachable and friendly to all the guests. Not only does the photo bay act as a photobooth, it also acts as a backdrop for other photos- a fantastic two in one offering! At the end of the day Tim had set aside our photos and popped them into the postbox ready for us to look through in the morning, and what amazing photographs they were- we were in hysterics looking at them. The great range of props available and the atmosphere in the photobooth were definitely captured in all our photos.
POST WEDDING
All photos were sent across to us digitally the next morning- an unbelievably fast turn around time. Not only did we have our photobooth photos, Tim had snapped some extras of us which turned out to be some of my favourites from the day.
IN CONCLUSION
Tim went above and beyond throughout, and I would highly recommend to book the Photobay if you are considering it for your event- We have absolutely no regrets!

It truly made our wedding unforgettable!

We had used The Photobay services at our wedding, and the vintage pod was an absolute hit! Tim was brilliant—very helpful, easy to communicate with from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and he ensured everything ran smoothly. Guests loved the easy-to-use touchscreen option to share the photos on social media and the personalised design for the prints, featuring our names and wedding date, added a special touch.
Tim has also kept some prints for us and given us a USB stick with all the photos immediately after the wedding together with access to online gallery that we could share with our guests. Highly recommend this addition for any event—it truly made our wedding unforgettable!

Amazing service & such a friendly guy!

Tim has been so great from day one with helping us plan our wedding Photo Booth.
From start to finish nothing was too much trouble & I’m on the day he was so polite, friendly & professional.
