From weddings in historic country estates to celebrations overlooking the Cornish coast, our period photo booths bring genuine photographic character and a memorable experience for guests to enjoy together.
Our booths combine original period equipment with modern photographic technology. Guests can discover an original 1910 camera, enjoy photographs emerging from a gramophone or find a working photo booth hidden inside a genuine Victorian grandfather clock.
With our southwest base in Lyme Regis, Cornwall forms part of the region we can serve for weddings, parties and special events. Whether you're planning an intimate family celebration, a substantial wedding reception or a company event, we'll help you choose a booth that suits your venue and guests.

Choose Your Period Photo Booth in Cornwall
The right photo booth can complement your venue while giving guests an experience they may not have encountered before.
Our Vintage Photo Booth makes the photographic equipment part of the entertainment. Built around a genuine 1910 camera, with a converted HMV television and gramophone, it combines original period pieces with modern photography.
For something that guests discover more gradually, the Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth conceals a working photo booth inside a genuine Victorian grandfather clock. It can look particularly at home in traditional interiors, while providing a wonderful talking point once guests discover its purpose.
For a more colourful celebration, the Through the Decades Photo Booth brings a playful experience inspired by the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
You can also explore our wider Photo Booth Hire range to compare the different options.
If you're unsure which booth would work best, tell us about your venue, the occasion and approximate guest numbers. We'll help you decide.
Historic Country Houses and Wedding Venues in Cornwall
Cornwall has some beautiful places to celebrate, particularly for couples who want a wedding venue with character and surroundings that become part of the occasion.
Boconnoc, near Lostwithiel, is one example. This historic country estate offers exclusive-use weddings, with elegant reception rooms, extensive grounds and accommodation for guests.
Its wedding facilities can accommodate 100 guests for a wedding breakfast inside the house, with larger arrangements possible using a marquee extension.
Tregenna Castle Resort in St Ives offers something different, combining historic architecture with views across St Ives Bay. Its wedding and event facilities cater for celebrations of varying sizes, including larger receptions.
For a venue such as Boconnoc, our Grandfather Clock Photo Booth could sit comfortably within a traditional room, while the Vintage Booth can make the original photographic equipment more of a feature.
At a larger hotel or coastal celebration, the best choice may depend more on the available space, guest numbers and where the entertainment will take place.
Once your venue is booked, we can help you consider those details before deciding which booth will work best.
Weddings, Parties and Family Celebrations in Cornwall
Some of the most enjoyable photographs from a celebration are the ones nobody planned.
Friends gather together, children persuade grandparents to join them and people who haven't seen one another for years end up sharing a photograph.
Our open photo booths encourage those moments because guests can see what is happening and join in whenever they want.
At a wedding, the booth can be enjoyed during the reception or later in the evening. At a birthday, anniversary or family gathering, it gives guests something sociable to enjoy together.
We have also provided photo booths for celebrations in people's homes, so the occasion doesn't need to be particularly formal.
The printed photographs give guests something personal to take home, while the experience itself becomes part of the celebration.
Corporate Events and Company Celebrations in Cornwall
For a company Christmas party, awards evening, client celebration or formal dinner, our period photo booths provide entertainment that can work alongside the rest of your programme.
At larger events, guests may be moving between welcome drinks, presentations, dinner and dancing.
We can discuss when the booth is likely to be busiest and where it should be positioned so that guests can enjoy it without interrupting other activities.
For events with substantial attendance, we can also consider whether one photographic setup will be sufficient.
Our experience includes providing more than one photographic experience during the same event when the brief and guest numbers have required it.
Tell us about your venue, timetable and approximate attendance and we'll help you work through the options.
University Events, School Proms and Leavers' Celebrations in Cornwall
School proms, sixth-form celebrations, university balls and graduation parties bring friends together at important moments in their lives.
Our period photo booths give students something enjoyable to share, with printed photographs they can take home as lasting mementos.
Whether you're organising a sixth-form celebration at Truro School, a Year 11 prom at Richard Lander School or an event elsewhere in Cornwall, we'd love to hear about your plans.
We work with organisers from both state and independent education, helping them choose a suitable photographic experience and plan around the venue, guest numbers and timings.
Cornwall's university community also provides opportunities for graduation celebrations, society events and end-of-year parties.
For events associated with Falmouth University, including celebrations around its Penryn campus, we can help plan the booth around the wider programme.
We bring decades of experience working with university audiences, including larger occasions where groups of friends may want photographs in quick succession.
If you're organising a prom, graduation celebration, Christmas party or end-of-year event, tell us what you have planned and we'll help you choose an experience your guests can enjoy together.
Photo Booth Hire in Cornwall
Bringing Your Photo Booth to a Cornish Venue
Cornwall has a wonderful variety of event settings, but travelling to a rural estate can involve different arrangements from setting up at a hotel in Truro or a coastal venue in St Ives.
With our southwest base in Lyme Regis, we can plan the journey around your venue and event timetable.
For countryside locations, it helps to know about narrow access roads, unloading arrangements and any restrictions on bringing equipment into the venue.
For larger hotels and wedding venues, there may be particular setup windows or requirements to work around catering and other suppliers.
If your celebration uses outdoor spaces before moving inside, we can also discuss where the booth will be best positioned for the part of the event when guests are likely to use it most.
Once your venue is confirmed, please send us the address, date and approximate number of guests.
We can then work through the practical arrangements beforehand, leaving you free to enjoy the occasion.
Music to Complement Your Cornwall Celebration
If you're planning a wedding or themed celebration, you might also like to consider how music can help create the atmosphere at different stages of the event.
For welcome drinks or an earlier reception, our Vintage Gramophone DJ Hire can provide music played from original shellac records, bringing genuine period character to a country-house setting or vintage-themed occasion.
Later, when guests are ready for dancing, the music can take a completely different direction.
For a lively evening party, our 1970s Disco DJ Hire is one possibility, with music chosen to bring the energy of the disco era to the dance floor.
Of course, you may prefer another decade or musical style. We can discuss the music you and your guests enjoy rather than expecting the entire celebration to follow one theme.
If you've already arranged your music and simply want one of our period photo booths, that's absolutely fine too.
