Where do I even begin?! The Northernly Photo Booth team was absolutely incredible, and Jimmy went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. From the moment they arrived, everything was set up so smoothly and stress-free. The photo booth ended up being the biggest hits of the entire wedding!!
There was a line for it all night long, and our guests could not stop talking about how much fun they were having. The photos turned out amazing, and it was such a fun way for everyone to capture memories from the night. Looking through all the pictures afterward has been one of my favorite parts.
Jimmy was so friendly, and genuinely excited to be there. He truly cared about making our day special and even stayed BEYOND our contracted time, which meant so much to us. That kind of service is hard to find and really shows how much they care!!
If you're thinking about getting a photo booth for your wedding or event, just do it! and book with Northernly Photo Booth! They exceeded every expectation we had and brought so much fun and energy to our day. I seriously cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so memorable. Just absolutely AMAZING!! 🤩🤩

Jimmy started working for Northerly as a Photo Booth attendant the summer of 2018 and he was instantly hooked on the experience. It’s been so fun to watch Northerly grow and create so many memories for all guests who walk through its door. We were blessed with the opportunity to purchase the business in the spring of 2022 and we said HECK YES!

From the first time I found out about the Northerly Photo Camper, I knew I wanted to have this photo booth experience for our Paikka wedding! They were actually one of the first ve...
ndors I booked, almost a year out. We loved the fun vibe the photo booth camper brought to our event, and our guests really enjoyed hopping in to take pics on the day of! It was especially popular among our younger guests (read: kids) and Brooke, our photo booth attendant, was so sweet and accommodating. Our guests loved using all the fun props, and they also loved the souvenir photo strips! We loved getting a copy of all the photos in our guestbook, as well as the digital copies that were made available to us within days of our event. Thank you to the entire Northerly Photo Camper team, our friends and family kept telling us how much they enjoyed using it!
As a note, we liked how flexible booking was, we initially selected 2 hours and then were able to add on an additional hour on later closer to the wedding date. There is also an option to break the active hours up with a small charge for standing hours, but we just opted to do 3 continuous hours.

As the groom and someone who isn't into pictures, I was a little hesitant about hiring a photo booth for our wedding. It seemed like an expensive cliche I have seen at many wedding...
s lately. However, Northerly was fantastic!! Their camper is so cute and all the guests found it very entertaining. It wasn't your standard photo booth you see at weddings, the camper vibe gives it so much more character and style! We made sure to make it a point that our guests needed to go there, as it was our guest book. The guest book they provided us with is such high quality, and the design on the photo strips was PERFECT!
The communication with the staff was outstanding. We were fortunate that they offered an idle period as an option, as we knew guests would not be attending during the dinner hour. They even accommodated a very last minute request to add additional time on the idle period, which we were very grateful for!
We highly recommend this photo booth service, and can promise it isn't the "standard wedding photo booth."

Northerly Photo Booth was the second vendor we booked and we are so happy with our choice. While many phot booths are under utilized at weddings, everybody noticed the photo camper...
and wanted a turn taking photos. The experience was user friendly and you can tell from the photos that people had a blast with it!
We are especially happy we opted for the photo guest book, which was almost completely full by the end of the night with messages from guests along with their photos. People say you never read your guestbook again, but the photos add a fun element that I know we will love looking back on.

We added the Northerly Photo Camper last minute to our wedding day because our day of coordinator told us that photo booths are always a big hit at weddings, and wow was she right!...
I am so glad we added this! Everyone loved it! Not only did they then have photo memories to take home with them, but I LOVE that we got full size digital copies of everyone's! So so so fun! To top it all off the campers are so freaking cute and I think can add a big visual impact to your wedding day!! Highly recommend!!

We loved the idea of having Northerly at our event! The actual photo camper and quality of the photo strips were amazing. The communication of the company, as well as the personal ...
attendant procedures could be revamped. At one point during our 2-hour time frame that we had reserved Northerly, the printer stopped working and we could not find the attendant. We had a difficult time contacting the attendant for 30 minutes, and my two photographers had to fix the printer. 30 minutes out of a 2-hour time frame is worth about $200 of our payment, so it was disappointing. The attendant eventually made it back but did not offer any remedy to the situation. It was not until my personal attendant asked him to stay to make up for lost time that he did so. By that point, many of our guests had already left; the printer was down during the busiest time of our wedding reception. Overall, I loved the idea of it - but I did not love the execution of it at my wedding!
Response from Northerly Photo Camper! on 10/18/2021
Hi Cassie!
Thank you so much for giving us your honest feedback. We truly appreciate it ...
and believe that feedback like yours gives us the opportunity to improve and to provide the best possible service!
We absolutely understand your disappointment with the attendant having been away from the photo booth when you were having issues with the printer. Our expectation is that the attendant be within close proximity to the photo booth during the open hours and I assure you, this matter has already been addressed within our team. When our leadership team was contacted about this situation that day, we believed it had been remedied quite quickly as from the time we were contacted until the time our attendant addressed the situation at the photo booth was 8 minutes. We are always so delighted to stay at events longer if it is requested and of course in this instance, we certainly wanted to do so in order to provide you and your guests with the total time you initially requested and paid for! Needless to say, we realize this still leaves room for improvement and seeing as we strive to provide the best possible experience, please know we are taking the necessary measures to not only prevent other instances such as this one, but to also provide even better service moving forward!
Again, we genuinely appreciate and value your feedback. Wishing you and your husband the very best and thank you for inviting us to celebrate with you both on your wedding day!
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly!
Best wishes!

We chose to have Northerly at our October 2020 wedding, and we are so happy we did! It added such a fun vibe and was the best addition to our cocktail hour space. We had Northerly ...
through cocktail hour, dinner, and a couple hours after dinner. Our guests loved being able to take picture strips home with them as their own souvenir of our wedding. We also have our own guest book that guests taped some of their photo strips in with a message to us, and we love looking through them (still waiting on the digital files of the pictures). The Northerly team was responsive and professional both during the planning process and the day of our wedding. We recommend Northerly to anyone looking for a fun addition to their wedding or special event!

Cutest photo booth for sure. Everyone commented on how cute the photo booth camper was. We were so happy that they were able to adjust their schedules and find someone able to work...
our labor day weekend wedding. My only comment would be that some of our photos came out blurry and the photo booth helper seemed to be adjusting the camera all night, which meant closing the photo booth for a bit every few photos. We were super happy though to get all the photos emailed to us just a few days later!

Thanks for allowing us to celebrate with you on your very special day! We ha...
d so much fun with you and your guests.
From time to time the camera may get accidentally bumped pushing it out of focus or off center. We want to make sure we deliver a quality product to our customers so when this happens we will make a quick adjustment so the fun can carry on :) If anything like this does happen, for every minute the booth is down we keep it open that much longer at the end of the evening.
We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed our camper photo booth, it looked like everyone had a great time! Congrats and best wishes!
