If you're looking for a unique and fun photo booth experience for you and your guests, look no further than The Snapshot Photo Camper!

Owner Tammy says, "We found our 1965 Serro Scotty Sportsman camper just miles from our home in the fall of 2018. We spent the winter as a family tearing it down to the frame and doing a complete remodel over the spring and summer. The inside has a rustic modern feel while the outside has the original vintage look."

"We absolutely loved having the snapshot photo camper at our wedding!! It was the best addition to our wedding and our guests loved it as well ☺️ it was so fun! Tammy and Bart are just the best and we’re so thankful for all their work running the camper all night. We are absolutely loved looking back through the photo strips from the night of our wedding!'
