A marquee wedding in Kent

A marquee wedding on private land in Kent, with the camper parked on the grass just outside the entrance. Booked partly as a photo booth and partly as something for guests to photograph on their way in — it does both jobs.

Access

The main planning job on a booking like this happens before the day: agreeing where the camper can park, checking the ground is firm enough, and making sure nothing has to be driven across a lawn after rain. We spoke to the marquee company directly, which is usually quicker than passing messages through the couple.

The setup

Fifteen minutes from parking to first print. The awning went up as a precaution and, in the end, was more useful for shade than shelter.

How the evening ran

Five hours on the Platinum package with three attendants, a guest book and green screen finishing on the prints. The evening ran long, as marquee weddings tend to, and the extra hours on Platinum meant the booth was still going when the band finished.
