About

Hammie The Photo Booth is a photo booth company based in Portland, Oregon. Owner Jeanette Schenk is a professional photographer and a woman of real vision and creativity. She knew she didn’t just want to add just any old photo booth to her business; she wanted something fun and memorable, something that would really stand out from the crowd. She purchased a 1964 Cardinal trailer and, with a lot of careful planning and hard work, transformed it into Hammie, the adorable, one-of-a-kind photo booth you and your guests are sure to love.

Services Offered

Hammie The Photo Booth has room for up to eight people. It’s fitted with a Bose sound system, a retro television that functions as a photo booth monitor, and props galore. Package features include two to four hours of continuous use, unlimited sessions, a custom playlist, a social media station, a choice of pennants, retro camp chairs, unlimited instant prints, a leather scrapbook, and up to two attendants. Hammie is also available to travel. All you need to bring are your friends and family and a smile.

***NEW! We've added a NEW photo booth! "Hamlet" is a sleek, one-of-a-kind (because, that's what we do!) wooden tri-pod photo booth with all the bells and whistles. It's perfect for smaller spaces or more intimate weddings!

Unforgettable!

One of the best decisions I made - booking The Hammie for my son's wedding! Jeannette and her colleague we absolutely wonderful to work with before, during and after the event! They were so accommodating and flexible to work with. I so appreciated the time Jeannette took to get to know my son and daughter-in-law to provide some theme elements for their pictures and their guest! Everyone enjoyed taking pics and they were so hilarious and memorable! The Hammie was so cute and truly added a special touch to our son's wedding. So many of our guests commented during and even months after the wedding - how much they adored The Hammie! I would highly recommend Jeanette and The Hammie for your event! We even look forward to using the The Hammie for when our youngest son gets married!! Love The Hammie!!

Hammie the Photobooth

Hammie was beyond professional. Hammie came to our venue walkthrough and was flexible on where to set up and arrived promptly on the wedding day. Hammie was by far the biggest hit on our wedding day. Everyone was talking about it after our wedding. Hammie also took care of our guest book which was a big weight off my shoulders. Because Hammie was so interactive we had almost all our guests sign our book. I cannot thank Hammie enough for keeping our wedding guests entertained.

Guestbook alternative

This was so great to use instead of a traditional guest book! Everyone took a page and scrap booked their photos and made it unique. Was definitely one of the major hits to our wedding reception!

Hammie Was The Best!!

We got Hammie as a surprise for our daughter’s wedding and it turned out to be one of the best parts of the entire day, it is the cutest thing ever. Everyone loved their pictures and are still sharing them a year later. If you’re going to spend money on something memorable, this is it!

I love that canned Ham...

Hammie the Photobooth at our wedding last July was a HUGE hit! This isn't your ordinary traveling photo booth, Hammie really is something special, as are the people behind the Ham. Meticulously and lovingly cared for and keeping with the retro vibe, Hammie fit in nicely with the food truck/garden party theme that was our wedding. Hammie can fit up to 14 people in at once (we apparently are the current record-holder) and did I mention you can have a section of PDX carpet out front?! I will treasure forever the book of photos put together by Jeanette and her team, with printed photos next to messages from guests...a much better alternative to the boring ol' guest book. Also, the time-elapse video of people going in and out of the photo booth all night was not something I was expecting, but we so glad that we have! Jeanette and her team were amazing to work with through the entire process and their presence really helped tie it all together, making everything so much more fun and engaging for our guests. There are always things you wonder if you really need to have at your wedding - this is one that I am 100% so glad we did and would absolutely do it again without hesitation (and the husband agrees). The memories and photos we have from Hammie are something that we will have forever, and really want to have another party worthy of Hammie's presence, because Hammie brings the party! Thanks so much, Jeannette and the whole gang, for being awesome.

We were over the moon with Hammie!

Hammie is so much fun! We had a Solar Eclipse party last summer. And, although the actual solar eclipse was the star of the show, Hammie was in no way over-shadowed. Our guests' ages ranged from toddlers to teens to families, grandparents, and neighbors. There were all kinds of fun props including solar eclipsed themed props! Everyone loved Hammie! This is not your ordinary photo booth-it's an awesome addition to any party or reception. I highly recommend Hammie!
