VW Photo Bus Rental Montauk NY
One thing I enjoy most when attending events with Bella, our VW Photo Booth Bus, is the opportunity to chat with fellow Volkswagen lovers. Guests regularly share memories of owning a VW Micro Bus and all the stories with it. I recently attended a wedding at the beautiful Montauk Yacht Club (http://www.montaukyachtclub.com/). On this crisp, Autumn evening, I spoke with multiple wedding guests about their memories of camping, family trips, memorable childhood experiences, all in their families VW Bus. It was amazing to hear all the different stories associated with this simple vehicle.
VW Bus as the Ultimate Adventure Van
I recently read this article about the VW Bus as the ultimate adventure van. For some, the VW Bus captures a spirit of freedom. Others, adventure. And others, simplicity and joy. The VW Bus itself is versatile, yet simple. Even today, people are searching high and low to purchase and restore one of these vans.
Making new memories at the Wedding
At the wedding, guests simply loved jumping into Bella and posing for their photo booth photos. I also heard numerous comments about seeing a working VW Bus still on the road. These sorts of conversations happen regularly at events. It’s wonderful to see how stepping into the Volkswagen and posing for photo booth photos brings back such memories. It’s fortunate that we can capture those smiles in the back seat. Of course, the bride and groom at this particular event, was already having a wonderful evening dancing, mingling, and joining their friends in our VW Photo Booth Bus. Guests loved packing into the back seat two take photo booth photos as well. The beautiful views in Montauk, a picturesque Autumn evening, and the fun atmosphere made this one of the most memorable Fall weddings we’ve done in years.

Volkswagen Photo Bus Rental in Southampton, NY
Bella, our vintage Volkswagen Photo Bus, recently attended a private wedding on Long Island. We showed up, parked her right in the front of the house during the ceremony, and waited for the bride and groom to complete their vows. See photo below.
Antique Car Lovers and our Volkswagen Bus
Turns out, the guest list included tons of old antique car lovers who spent most of the evening chit chatting with me about their next restoration project. They loved looking inside the restored engine of our VW Bus, admiring the traditional German engineering, and finally, taking some photos in the bus! I spoke with one couple from North Carolina currently in the market for a VW Camper Bus to find and restore for their family camping trips. We shared notes on the different challenges of finding a VW Bus and I directed them to a few helpful resources. Another opportunity to build a meaningful connection and encourage people to follow their dreams!
Photo Booth Fun
The bride and groom were thrilled to see our Volkswagen Photo Bus drive into the backyard as soon as they completed their ceremony. They had no idea we were coming for their wedding reception (a gift from one of their close friends) and we spent the rest of the evening taking photos in and with Bella. A lovely evening with our classic VW Bus on Long Island!
Vintage Photo Booth in East Hampton

Vintage Photo Booth in East Hampton
Our vintage photo booth made it out to a classic East Hampton Wedding on Long Island this summer. Guests from ten different countries joined in the festivities. At the end of the night, guests filled the photo book with love notes in French, Chinese, German, and Spanish. Not only did these guests have a wonderful time, but they all loved spending time taking photos.
Intimate Gathering at Gansett Green Manor.
Held at the lovely Gansett Green Manor (http://gansettgreenmanor.com/), this intimate Hamptons venue is ideal for a private summer wedding. With two acres of carefully manicured grounds, this quaint bed and breakfast is nestled in the heart of East Hampton.
Customizing our Vintage Photo Booth
For this particular wedding, we customized the outside poster of our classic photo booth to fit the theme of the wedding. One benefit of the minimalist design is our ability to customize our photo booth for various wedding themes. At another event earlier this year, we customized a special curtain for our photo booth. We love being part of wedding events like this – great guests, beautiful grounds, and our vintage photo booth there to capture all the memories!

VW Photo Bus Rental Hamptons NY
We recently drove our VW Photo Bus Rental to a private party in the Hamptons, NY. One of the best parts of restored our Volkswagen Micro Bus: driving right into the backyard of the event. With the sun setting and guests coming back from the beach, we arrived just on time and set-up in the back corner of a lovely Hamptons home.
Guests loving the photo booth
Guests could not wait to learn more about the history of Bella, how she drives, and how to take a photo. They loved even more the idea of jumping inside the vintage Volkwagen Bus and posing for photos. Of the many guests, I remember one guest in particular who commented on how he fondly remembered his family’s VW Bus and the many long road trips they used to take. He ended up loving the photo booth idea and posed for ten different photos with his family. We love hearing stories of fellow VW lovers and capturing them posing in our vintage photo booth!

Photo Booth Rental Chelsea Piers NY
Last weekend, we brought our photo booth rental to Chelsea Piers NYC for a lovely wedding. Overlooking a beautiful view of the Hudson River, The Lighthouse in Chelsea Piers is an ideal venue for a classic New York wedding reception. The Lighthouse is also one of several exclusive venues catered by Abigail Kirsh, one of New York’s premier caterers. Excellent food at premier wedding venues throughout the Tri-State area.
Classic Photo Booth – Enclosed versus Open Air
At this particular event, I spoke with a wedding planner from New York City specializing in high-end events. We discussed the differences between the popular Open Air Photo Booths and my more traditional, enclosed photo booth. While she mainly partners with Open Air Photo Booths, she did mention that she loved the overall experience of enclosed classic photo booth. There is something different about squeezing into the booth, drawing the curtain, and posing for photos. One other important comment she made: the quality of the photo is what really set us apart from other companies. See below.
Request a Sample Photo Strip
Whenever we receive an inquiry from a potential client, we recommend requesting a sample photo strip from all photo booth companies being considered. The quality of the photo strip is critical, especially for weddings. While we understand there are many factors to consider in selecting the appropriate photo booth for your wedding, we always recommend getting a sample first. This will narrow down your choices and ultimately, help you find the right photo booth for your event.

Destination Wedding in New York City
Bringing old friends together for photos is one of our favorite things to see. Guests came in from all parts of the country to celebrate. This lovely Manhattan couple met in college and they maintained close relationships with all their close friends over the years. Their wedding doubled as a college reunion!
Iconic Manhattan Hotels
What better place to have a college reunion than a weekend wedding reception at an iconic Manhattan hotel! I overheard several guests comment that they loved the old-fashion, classic photo booth. With so many different photo booth options out there, it’s difficult to choose. At this event, guests seemed content with our straightforward offering. We offer a minimalist design and excellent quality photo strips. Two of the basic ingredients to an excellent photo booth. While we recognize the many different offerings out there, for couples looking for an old New York wedding at an iconic Manhattan Hotel, our classic booth was an absolute hit!

Our Photo Booth at the Central Park Boathouse
We set up our enclosed photo booth to celebrate a lovely New York Fall wedding. What better view of New York City than Central Park Boathouse in the fall? Located in the heart of Central Park, the Loeb Boathouse is an ideal scene for any event. We had a great time celebrating with this couple that brought their entire family and close group of friends from the UK! For this black-tie formal event and other similar events in New York City, we found that clients love having a minimalist yet classy photo booth option. The Boathouse perfectly suits the aesthetic design of our booth. In fact, many guests at this particular wedding, asked me if the photo booth is part of the venue. I politely corrected them, but took notice that clients loved hanging out taking photos.

Vintage Photo Booth at The Roundhouse
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful Hudson Valley . We brought our vintage photo booth for a wedding reception at The Roundhouse. Located at 2 East Main Street in Beacon, New York, this venue is beautiful! A historic property overlooking a beautiful waterfall, rushing creek and bustling street corner in charming Beacon, NY.
Exposed Brick and a Waterfall
I really loved the vintage, historic charm of the event space. The exposed brick along with the beautiful view of the waterfall and rushing creek, made this one of the most aesthetically beautiful spaces I’ve attended in awhile. Our photo booth matched the overall decor of the event space perfectly. Guests from parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan flooded our vintage photo booth throughout the evening. In one conversation I had with a guest, he simply remarked, “I just love the look of your photo booth!” It was an excellent way to kick-off our spring wedding season and a lovely event space for our classic, vintage photo booth.
Classy Photo Booth Wedding Proposal
Posted 4/19/16 in: New Jersey New York
Came across this story a few years ago and thought it was inspiring as we enter into wedding season. In a classy
gesture, this boyfriend proposed to his high school sweetheart in a photo booth. Hoping, by now, these two had
an awesome wedding with a photo booth at their reception. One of my former clients had a similar story. Jeff
and Christina took photo booth photos every summer, every year, since high school. They eventually got married
in 2014, and to my delight, hired our classic photo booth for their wedding reception at the beautiful Perona Farms
located in Andover, NJ. They sent me the time line of all their photo booth photos dating back to 2004 – 10 years!
They plan to continue their tradition of capturing life through annual photo booth photos.
