Vintage VW Camper Photo Booth Hire in Essex

Say hello to Stitch, our much-loved 1979 VW Type 2 Camper Van and the heart of VW Photo Bus.

With her iconic vintage styling and unique character, Stitch has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind photo booth experience that brings smiles, laughter and unforgettable memories to every occasion.

Whether she's parked at a rustic wedding venue, a festival field, a prom, party or corporate celebration, Stitch always attracts attention and quickly becomes part of the event.

Step inside, grab a prop and strike a pose. Guests can enjoy instant photo strips, personalised print designs and digital copies of every photo, creating memories to treasure long after the celebrations are over.

Based in Essex and available across the surrounding counties, Stitch is much more than a photo booth. She's a unique attraction that gets everyone talking, laughing and making memories together.

Reviews

"We booked the freestanding photo booth for our New Year's Eve party, and it was such a brilliant addition to the evening. Everyone had so much fun using the props, and the instant photo strips gave our guests a lovely keepsake to take home. The booth looked fantastic, ran smoothly all night and captured so many great memories. I would happily recommend VW PhotoBus & Photobooth for any celebration!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space do you need to set up?
For the freestanding booth we need roughly 2m x 2m of floor space. Our booth runs from its own generator, so no power socket is needed. For Stitch the VW camper we ideally need a level parking spot around 5m x 3m — grass, gravel or hard standing all work.
How long does setup take?
We arrive around 60–90 minutes before your hire time starts so we're fully set up, tested and out of the way before your guests notice us. Pack-down at the end takes around 45 minutes.
Do the prints come out on the night?
Yes — high-quality photo strips print within seconds of each session, and every guest gets a copy to take home. You'll also receive a full digital gallery of every photo taken after the event.
Are props included?
Absolutely. Every package includes our full prop box — hats, glasses, signs, wigs and a few seasonal surprises. Props are cleaned between events.
Do you provide a booth attendant?
Yes — two professional attendants stay with the booth for the entire hire to help guests, top up prints and keep everything running smoothly.
How do I secure my date?
A £100 booking deposit secures your date, with the balance due 30 days before your event. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.
Do you travel outside Essex?
Yes — we regularly travel across the surrounding counties. Travel is included within 40 miles of our Essex base for Stitch the VW camper, and within 50 miles for the Freestanding Photobooth. Beyond that we simply add a small per-mile charge — get in touch for a friendly quote.
