New Vermont VW PhotoBus
Posted 8/20/14 in: Vermont / Upstate NY VW Photobooth Bus
Vermont has a new VW PhotoBus! She’s a beautifully restored 1966 Volkswagen Bus that is making a splash around Vermont. She’s the coolest things on the roads of the Green Mountain State.
The picture here is from a gorgeous wedding at the 1824 House in Waitsfield, VT, and the photo was taken by Stacey Hedman. The guests had fun all night long climbing in the back of this groovy machine, taking photo after photo with the custom photobooth. Everyone loves closing the curtain and getting wild and free with smile after smile with their friends and family.

This is a Blog Post from the Burlington VT Mom’s Blog about our recent time with them…
Chris and his wife Tracy are in their third year of growing their photobooth business, Photobooth Planet. They have a passion to help parties be unforgettably fun and memorable. They love to throw parties with uniqueness and elegance that guests will never forget. Adding “Ruby” to their Photobooth family has been a wonderful adventure this year, and they look forward to “adopting” their second restored VW Bus in 2014.
There are many entertainment companies that have photobooths, but Photobooth Planet specialize in creating the best and most unique photobooths in the industry. Their Classic Booth is hard sided and elegantly designed, and their beautiful 1962 VW Photobooth Bus “Ruby” brings “flower powered” fun to any event – who doesn’t love getting in the back of a VW Bus?!?
We, at BVTMB, can attest to how fun it is to climb into the back of a VW photobooth bus! Chris brought Ruby to our last Moms Night Out at ArtsRiot and mommas were having some serious fun! I will let the pictures speak for themselves…
So whether you are planning a large party, a wedding, or a work function, be sure to reach out to Chris and his team at Photobooth Planet to add a fun element to your party that your guests will not soon forget!

Chloe, The VW PhotoBUS: Her Backstory
Posted 12/04/13 in: Connecticut Featured Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts New Hampshire / Northern MA / Southern ME Rhode Island Sidebar VW Photobooth Bus
By all accounts Photobooth Planet is the fourth owner of the VW bus we have re-purposed as a rolling photo booth and renamed, Chloe. Â Below is a little of Chloe’s history as told by her previous owner, Jasun Weiner of Laguna Beach, CA and founder of Street Surfing:
Originally sold in 1967 to a couple in Los Angeles. It was a weekender for close getaways. Original conversion was called Sundial. In the 90’s, it was put in an enclosed storage for approx. 20 years. Eventually, the couple realized they should find a new home for the bus, with people who would use and enjoy it!
 A hippie couple from Santa Barbara became the proud new owners. At some point, they repainted it the original seafoam green color. From there, many jaunts ensued. Up the coast and other exciting adventures.
 I was the next fortunate one to get to spend a few years with the van. In 2009, 4 of us rode up to Santa Barbara to bring her back home to her new home in Laguna Beach. Over the next few years, we upgraded the bus with various custom jobs including: walnut/bamboo ceiling, recessed lighting, bamboo floor, 3-toned seating, tables on doors, and more!
Here are a few pics of my neighbor and good friend, Roger Roy – a former wood shop and metal shop teacher, who assembled the cabinetry and wiring for the photo booth equipment.
 Chloe the VW PhotoBUS is now up and running and excited to function as a fun photo booth rental at any outdoor wedding (or indoor wedding at a venue with a big door!) anywhere on the Northeast Corridor between Greenwich, CT and Boston, MA. (or the Hamptons, Newport RI, or her home in Mystic CT).
Curtain Closes – Magic Begins
Posted 11/18/13 in: Connecticut Massachusetts Rhode Island Vermont / Upstate NY VW Photobooth Bus
When the curtain closes, the magic begins!
Everyone loves the closed booth that Photobooth Planet provides for weddings and events. When that curtain shuts, it opens a box full of fun and sometimes craziness! The photo booth elevates the fun of any special day, making it even more memorable.
Out of sight from the rest of the guests, what goes on in that booth spontaneously generates great fun and is captured in duplicate photostrips. Then, the “magic” is taken home for everyone to cherish for years to come.
The Classic Booth is elegantly designed, and will fit even the classiest of occasions.
The VW Photobooth Bus is a photo booth creatively engineered into the back of a beautifully restored VW Bus. (Offered only in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont and New York.)
Ruby at Burlington VT Moms Blog – Mom’s Night Out
Posted 11/12/13 in: Vermont / Upstate NY VW Photobooth Bus
“Ruby” the VW Photobooth Bus had a great time entertaining a great crowd of women for the Burlington VT Moms Blog’s “Mom’s Night Out at Arts Riot” on Oct 28th 2013! Â Mom’s were treated inside with a kids-free night of food, drinks, shopping, yoga, massage, waxing, and then were given lots of swag! Â Outside, the women all loved putting on fun props while putting on gleeful and goofy smiles for the photo booth in back of the VW Bus. Â Everyone went home with pampered smiles and photostrips to share with the family back home.
