Northumberland has some wonderful places to bring people together, from historic country houses and coastal wedding venues to celebrations in its market towns and surrounding countryside.

Our period photo booths offer guests a photographic experience built around genuine antique equipment, combining the character of the original pieces with modern photography and printed photographs to take home.

Whether you're planning a wedding where friends and family are staying for the weekend, a milestone birthday, a company celebration or a school leavers' party, we can help you choose an experience that suits your venue and guests.

Choose Your Period Photo Booth

Our three main photo booths offer different experiences, so the best choice depends on the atmosphere you want to create and how your guests will enjoy the occasion.

The Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth combines a genuine Victorian grandfather clock with a working photo booth hidden inside. It can sit naturally within traditional interiors, giving guests the pleasure of discovering that the antique clock is also part of the entertainment.

It can also be enjoyed without a dedicated photo booth host throughout the event, allowing guests to return for photographs in their own time.

For a photographic experience where the original equipment becomes more of a feature, our Vintage Photo Booth brings together a genuine 1910 camera, converted HMV television and gramophone.

Guests can enjoy discovering the equipment before having photographs taken together and collecting their printed keepsakes.

For birthdays and themed celebrations, the Through the Decades Photo Booth provides a more colourful 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 would suit your event, tell us about the venue, guest numbers and the kind of celebration you're planning. We'll help you decide.

Historic Country Houses and Northumberland Weddings

Northumberland offers some impressive historic settings for weddings, particularly for couples who want to spend time with family and friends across more than one day.

Matfen Hall is a beautiful example. This historic country estate offers wedding ceremonies in its Great Hall, celebrations in traditional reception rooms and evening entertainment in The Vault.

Its Great Hall accommodates ceremonies for up to 100 guests, while The Vault can accommodate up to 150 evening guests.

Ellingham Hall, near the Northumberland coast, offers another approach. Its exclusive-use wedding arrangements allow couples and guests to enjoy the venue over two nights, with accommodation and several spaces for different parts of the celebration.

Its historic Chapel accommodates wedding breakfasts for up to 140 guests and evening receptions for up to 180.

For a wedding in a historic country house, the Grandfather Clock Photo Booth could complement the traditional interiors while giving guests something entertaining to discover.

Alternatively, the Vintage Booth can become a more prominent part of the reception, with its original camera, television and gramophone attracting attention and encouraging guests to gather together.

If your wedding involves several rooms or activities throughout the day, we can help you consider when and where the booth will be most enjoyable for guests.

Weddings and Celebrations That Bring Everyone Together

When guests travel to Northumberland for a wedding or family celebration, they may have travelled considerable distances to spend time together.

Some celebrations extend across a weekend, giving friends and relatives opportunities to catch up outside the more formal parts of the occasion.

A photo booth can become part of that shared experience.

Guests can take photographs with people they haven't seen for years, return later with different groups and take home printed pictures from the celebration.

Our booths are equally enjoyable for milestone birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings, including celebrations held in people's homes.

For a smaller gathering, the experience can be particularly personal, with different generations enjoying photographs together.

For a larger wedding or party, the booth can become somewhere guests naturally gather throughout the evening.

Whatever the occasion, we'll help you choose an experience that works for the people you're bringing together.

Company Gatherings, Awards and Seasonal Celebrations

Company celebrations don't all follow the same format, an awards evening might have a carefully planned programme, while a staff Christmas party may be much more relaxed. A business anniversary could bring together colleagues, clients and guests who don't often have the opportunity to meet socially.

Our period photo booths can fit around these different occasions, giving people something enjoyable to share without requiring everyone to participate at once.

For a formal event, the Vintage Booth can provide an engaging photographic experience during welcome drinks or after the presentations.

For a staff celebration, the Grandfather Clock can offer something guests discover and return to throughout the evening.

Where a substantial number of people are attending, we can discuss whether one photographic setup will provide sufficient capacity.

We have experience providing more than one photographic experience at the same event when the brief and guest numbers have called for it.

Tell us about your venue, expected attendance and how the event is planned, and we'll help you consider the most suitable arrangements.

School Proms, Sixth-Form Leavers and Student Celebrations

A school prom, sixth-form ball or end-of-year celebration is an opportunity for friends to enjoy an occasion together before moving on to the next stage of 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 Longridge Towers School, a school prom at The Duchess's Community High School or an event elsewhere in Northumberland, we'd love to hear what you have planned.

We can help organisers from both independent and state schools choose a suitable photographic experience, taking account of the age group, venue, number of students and timetable.

Northumberland College also provides opportunities for end-of-year celebrations, graduation parties and student events across its campuses.

For organisers planning larger student celebrations, we bring decades of experience providing photographic entertainment for university audiences.

We understand that groups of friends may want photographs together within a relatively short period, particularly towards the end of an evening.

If you're organising a prom, leavers' party, graduation celebration or student event, tell us what you're planning and we can help you choose a suitable booth.
