Period photo Booth Hire in Northampton
If you are planning a wedding, party, university celebration or special event in Northampton, our period photo booths give guests something unexpected to discover. Instead of another modern screen and backdrop, genuine period equipment becomes part of the entertainment, from a 1910 camera and gramophone to a Victorian grandfather clock with a working photo booth hidden inside.
Guests can wander over when they are ready, see other people having photographs taken and return later with a different group of friends or family. The booth provides entertainment without needing to interrupt the rest of the event, and guests leave with a printed photograph to take home afterwards
Photo Booth Hire for Weddings, Parties and Events in Northampton
A photo booth works particularly well during the parts of an event when guests have time to mingle, whether that is between the wedding breakfast and evening reception, during a birthday party or alongside the other entertainment at a company celebration.
There is no timetable guests need to follow. They can use the booth when they want to and come back later with somebody else.
That makes it an easy addition to weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, company parties, awards evenings and other celebrations in Northampton.
Making Your Northampton celebration Memorable
Some of the photographs people enjoy most happen once everyone stops worrying about posing perfectly.
It might be several generations of a family getting into one picture, old friends who rarely see each other together or colleagues deciding that one photograph definitely is not enough.
Because the booth is open and visible, those moments encourage other guests to join in. What starts with one group having a photograph can quickly become part of the entertainment for the whole room.
Choosing a Photo Booth for Your Northampton Venue
Northampton offers everything from contemporary event spaces to venues surrounded by centuries of history.
Delapré Abbey is a particularly good example. The Grade II listed house on the edge of Northampton hosts weddings, private celebrations and corporate events, with historic rooms, gardens and parkland providing very different settings within the same venue.
For somewhere with that much history, genuine period equipment can make more sense visually than a conventional modern booth. The Vintage Photo Booth gives guests an original 1910 camera to investigate, while the Victorian Grandfather Clock can sit surprisingly naturally within an older room before guests discover what is hidden inside.
Whatever venue you choose, we can discuss access, available space, guest movement and the other entertainment before deciding where the booth will work best.
Choose Your Period Photo Booth in Northampton
The booths offer different experiences, so you can choose according to your venue, guests and the style 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 is incorporated into the genuine period equipment, so the camera and printing process remain part of what guests see and enjoy rather than being hidden away.
It is particularly suited to weddings and events where you want the booth itself to contribute something to the room..
Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth
Our Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth is hidden inside a genuine Victorian grandfather clock.
At first guests may simply notice an antique clock. Finding a working photo booth concealed inside is part of the surprise and gives people something to talk about before they have even taken a photograph.
Guests can also use it without needing a dedicated photo booth host standing alongside it throughout the event.
Through the Decades Photo Booth
For something more playful, the Through the Decades Photo Booth takes inspiration from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
It is a good choice for birthdays, parties and less formal events where colourful retro styling suits the celebration better than the earlier period equipment.
You can also explore our wider Photo Booth Hire range to compare the different experiences.
University of Northampton Balls, Graduations and Student Events
The University of Northampton's Waterside Campus is in the heart of Northampton, giving us a strong local audience for university balls, graduation celebrations, society events, formal dinners and end-of-year parties.
We have decades of experience providing photo booth entertainment for university events. That experience is particularly useful when large groups of friends want photographs together and the booth becomes busy quickly.
Graduation is also a major occasion in Northampton itself. University of Northampton graduation activities currently take place between Waterside Campus and Royal & Derngate in the town centre, bringing students, friends and families together for a day that naturally lends itself to photographs and celebrations.
Whether you are organising a large student event or a smaller graduation party, tell us the venue, timings and expected guest numbers and we can help choose a booth and setup that suits the occasion.
