Vintage Photobooth Hire

Vintage photobooth hire. It sounds like a great idea…until it’s not! True vintage photobooth hire for events is now almost impossible to find. The reason being is that vintage booths were never designed to service special events. They were designed to be in static locations.

Vintage photobooths were a marvel back in the day. Before the general public were able to afford their own film cameras there were photo booth locations. People of every age would flock to public places to create a photo booth time stamp of that moment in time.

Vintage Photobooth Hire bought into the 21st century!

The processing equipment required to make these booths function was incredible. Not to mention the special developing chemicals required to develop the photo strip – in a super fast 8-10 minutes! All that equipment and chemical is extremely heavy; often in the realms of 400kg.

Now imagine manoeuvring that 400kg box in and out of a vehicle and then in and out of an event space! As recently as the late 2000’s companies were still trying to use passport style photo booths for events. Their locations were extremely limited due to their weight and size. How many event venues do you visit that don’t have steps? Take it from us that there was no easy way to realistically service hundreds of weddings and events each year with that style of booth.

In 2009 In the Booth’s never before seen design entered the marketplace and it’s been a hit ever since! We’ve kept all the important things that make vintage photobooth hire. For example, our booths are and always will be enclosed. Why? It’s just better! After all, how can it be a photo booth without the actual booth? Half the fun of a photo booth is pulling that curtain closed. There’s also plenty of fun to be found in our video guest book feature which is able to record sound in our enclosed environment.

Practical and Accessible

We can get our event-industry focussed design in and out of any venue. We’ve been on boats and on top of mountains (literally). Each piece of equipment we need can be carried by our single operator so we can guarantee we can access your space.

One thing we make no apologies for leaving behind is the nasty chemicals that were required to develop images. With the chemicals we also abandoned the long wait time for photos. Your guests will be enjoying instant prints around every 30 seconds! There’s no waiting for the prints to dry or taking photos with your phone for digital copies. We’ve thought of it all.
