A MUST MUST MUST for your Wedding or Event!

We LOVED Happy Camper Photo Bus so so much!! Had it at our wedding this year, and we're so happy we did. It was such a fun and memorable experience for us and our guests. Loved that we got to personalize the design of the photos with our little wedding logo, and that we got to see digital copies of our guests' photos afterward! Didn't realize how special that would be. And Nick was so helpful in coordinating with us and made the process of getting set up so seamless. Would highly recommend for a fabulous time at your event.

Absolutely worth booking!

The vintage photo bus was a huge hit with my family and friends at my son's wedding in Palm Desert in February. It is in perfect condition and actually fit quite a few people which made for a lot of fun for groups of people. Nick was very prompt and clear with communications. After shopping around the price was competitive. The website they provide with all the pictures is great to be able to view while also giving the guests printed and online versions. I highly recommend Happy Camper Photo Bus. I am so glad we added them to the wedding evening.

Great company!

This photo bus was such a nice touch for our wedding - so much more fun than a standard Photo Booth. It was very picturesque and made the entire experience more fun. The customer service was fantastic, we had a few guests tell us how nice and great Nick and his wife were to interact with. They were very professional, great vibes, and the customized prints were really cool. I wasn't sure if we needed a photo bus at first but I couldn't have been more wrong, it was a fantastic upgrade to the event and the pictures/memories are hilarious. We would definitely hire them again!!

Homerun of a vendor!

Hiring Happy Camper for our wedding initially felt like an unimportant piece of our wedding, but wow, they were a hit! All of our guests absolutely loved it. Nick and the rest of the crew were so wonderful to work with. And the photo quality was great -- we basically feel like we hired a second photographer with Happy Camper!

Not to mention, unbeatable pricing from these guys!

Best Photo Booth ever!

Our guests absolutely loved it, the vintage bus looked amazing parked at our venue and added so much personality to the night. The props were fun, the photos came out beautifully, and Nick made the whole experience seamless and super enjoyable. They were professional, friendly, and kept the energy high all evening. We’ve already looked through the photo strips a lot of times it was such a perfect way to capture everyone’s joy on this special day. Seriously I Highly recommend The Happy Camper Photo Bus for any wedding or event!

Book Happy Camper ASAP, they are amazing!!

Highly highly recommend Happy Camper Photo Bus!! We had Happy Camper at our wedding last weekend and it was SO MUCH fun. It was the hit of the wedding! The bus is super cute and we also did the couch set-up ("the boho") which was awesome and made our outdoor space super cute and cozy, exactly what we'd hoped for! Loved the guest book - so fun to see people's photos and their messages. Plus we got to pick the cover design, which we love! Nick and Jessi were fabulous! They were so great to work with from the start all the way through the event. They made the planning really easy (and gave us so many choices to customize the photo strip design and the guest book cover) and were really engaging and kind day of! They even helped us keep track of photos that we were in so we had some hard copies to take home at the end of the night - eternally grateful for that! We have them framed in the house! Thank you for SUCH a wonderful experience. I've already recommended you guys to other upcoming brides I know. Cannot recommend Happy Camper enough!

Wheely Lovely! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wally truly drove our wedding fun to new heights! He wasn’t just a photo booth—he was the centerpiece of the party, and our guests absolutely loved him.

Everyone lined up all night to snap photos, and the bus brought such a unique, charming vibe to our venue. The service was smooth and professional from start to finish. Nick was so easy to talk to and made planning a breeze.

Honestly, Happy Camper PhotoBus was our #1 vendor—so memorable and so much fun. Thank you so much for making our day extra special. We can’t wait to ride with you again next time!

Highly recommend. Five stars all the way! ❤️
