Boho Loves: The Big Booth

Today on Boho Loves I’d like to introduce you to a fabulous Photo Booth and Photography company called The Big Booth. The Big Booth is run by Alex and Tom and incorporates an amazing photo booth with fantastic wedding photography. The two offer both as a package or individually, as well as a newly added illuminated letters and DJing! With a background in photography and set design these have great credentials and a first class service. They pride themselves on their customer service and feel they have a great deal to offer the wedding industry. I asked them a few questions to get to know them a bit better.

Alex and Tom met on a Photography degree course, long enough ago to shoot on film and polaroids, they became firm friends, sharing their love of photography, music and fun. Now they’re together again bringing you The Big Booth. As well as the ultimate photo booth the talented duo regularly shoot weddings and events. With two new additions to the brilliant range of services, the illuminated letters and the DJing, Alex and Tom have a great deal to offer.
