Our Bus

Meet Gertie, our fun loving beautiful blue photobooth bus. Born in 1979, our VW girl was in a sorry state and in need of a complete makeover. With lots of TLC, we set to restoring her. We think she loves her new look, as she enjoys her days bringing laughter and smiles to all she meets.

We hope you enjoy getting to know a little bit more about our gorgeous girl Gertie. We love her, we hope you do too! If you would like to see more of Gertie please follow her on Instagram and Facebook!

Props

We believe the props make a huge difference to your photos and photobooth experience. Therefore all of our props are either handmade by me, vintage or retro finds I’ve discovered. We also have a range of themes and are always thinking up ways of adding new props to keep things interesting.

Ethos

We love handmade and think it is the best. It’s what truly gives something character and makes for something truly unique. That’s why with a couple of small exceptions, Gertie’s interior has been completely handmade and crafted by us. We love her handmade vibe and it really adds to her vintage charm. We feel this makes for an extra special experience!

Your Attendees

We want you to have lots of fun at your event with Gertie, so we will be there to make sure things run smoothly. Also, we’d love to help you and your guests with prop choices for those fabulous photos!

We love what we do, and we love to hear how much you do too…
