Period photo Booth Hire in Basingstoke
If you are planning a wedding, party or special event in Basingstoke, our period photo booths give guests something they will not be expecting.
Instead of a conventional modern booth and backdrop, they discover genuine period equipment, from a 1910 camera and gramophone to a Victorian grandfather clock with a working photo booth hidden inside.
Guests can use the booth when they are ready, watch other people having photographs taken and come back later with a different group. It becomes part of the entertainment without needing to take over the event.
Photo Booth Hire for Weddings, Parties and Events in Basingstoke
A photo booth works particularly well once guests have had time to settle into the celebration.
At a wedding, that might be as the evening guests arrive and different groups of friends and family start mixing. At a birthday or company party, it gives people something informal to enjoy alongside the rest of the entertainment.
There is nothing guests need to organise. They can simply have a photograph when they want one and take the printed picture away afterwards.
Making Your Basingstoke celebration Memorable
Some of the best photographs happen when nobody has been asked to pose for them.
It might be old friends getting together, colleagues deciding to have a photograph they would never normally take or several generations of a family finally appearing in the same picture.
Because our booths are open and visible, other guests see those moments happening. One group having fun often encourages somebody else to have a go, and people frequently return later in the evening for another photograph.
Choosing a Photo Booth for Your Basingstoke Venue
For a wedding in one of the country-house or historic venues around Basingstoke, the Vintage Photo Booth or Victorian Grandfather Clock can sit comfortably within the surroundings while giving guests something unexpected to discover.
For a hotel celebration, birthday or company party, you may prefer the brighter and more relaxed feel of the Through the Decades Booth.
The room itself also matters. Once you have booked your venue, tell us about the space, approximate guest numbers and other entertainment you have planned. We can help you choose the booth that suits the occasion and find a position where guests will notice it without it getting in the way.
Choose Your Period Photo Booth in Basingstoke
Each of our main booths offers a different experience, so you can choose according to your venue, guests and the kind of celebration you are planning.
Vintage Photo Booth
The Vintage Photo Booth is built around a genuine 1910 obscura camera, together with a converted HMV television and gramophone printing.
Modern photographic technology works alongside the original equipment, so the camera and printing process remain part of what guests see and enjoy.
It is a good choice when you want the booth itself to become something guests notice and investigate.
Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth
Our Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth is concealed inside a genuine Victorian grandfather clock.
Guests initially see an antique clock before discovering that there is a working photo booth hidden inside it. That surprise is part of the fun and often gets people talking before anyone has taken a photograph.
It can also be used without a dedicated photo booth host standing alongside it throughout the event.
Through the Decades Photo Booth
The Through the Decades Photo Booth takes inspiration from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
It is a more playful choice for birthdays, company parties and celebrations where colourful retro styling suits the occasion better than the earlier period equipment.
You can also explore our wider Photo Booth Hire range to compare the different experiences.
