More about Forrest

____________________________

____________________________

Just living my best life as a 1971 vintage Volkswagen Bus! From first steps to first moments behind the wheel, I’ve been there for four generations of family milestones since 1991. We’ve criss-crossed backroads of the West at a cruising speed of 55 mph. From the dark skies of New Mexico to the hot springs of Idaho, I’ve seen it all.

Times have changed and I am glad to be living in the lap of luxury. Road dust has been replaced with bouquets, twinkle lights and merry-making, and that’s quite alright with me. I’m thrilled to be bringing fun times on wheels to weddings and events near the Walla Walla valley.

We are experts in hospitality and customer service, and of course, LGBTQ+ & BIPOC friendly. Your guests are our guests, and we treat everyone like family.

Book me for any type of event:

WEDDINGS
HOLIDAY PARTIES
GRADUATION
CORPORATE EVENTS

PHOTO SHOOTS
SCHOOL EVENTS
FESTIVALS
ANNIVERSARIES
BRIDAL OR BABY SHOWERS
BIRTHDAY PARTIES
MITZVAHS
FAMILY REUNIONS

How does a booking work?

After you submit our contact form, someone from our team will reach out within 48 hours to confirm your event date, gather additional information about the venue, and finalize your package and any extras.

You’ll then receive an invoice with a link to submit payment. We require a 50% down payment to secure your event date. The down payment is refundable during a two week grace period following payment, but after 14 days, it is non-refundable (see FAQ’s for limited exceptions). If you book Forrest less than 2 weeks out from your event date, a full payment is required to secure the event date.

We will send an invoice for the remaining balance 30 days before your event. Full payment must be received 14 days before your event or your reservation will be cancelled and down payment forfeited. (Don’t worry… we’ll send you lots of reminders to make sure this doesn’t happen!)

Day of the event

My driver and I will arrive about an hour prior to our arranged start time to get set up. You are not charged for this time. We’ll also want to connect with your designated point-of-contact, so we know who to find in the case of an issue during the event.

We’ll bring all the important items including props, rugs and decor, signage, pop-up tents (in case of rain), and a table for a guestbook or album. After closing time, it takes about 30 minutes to pack everything up.

We aim to be set up with about 15 minutes to spare. Although the booth won’t open until the arranged start time, guests are welcome to take selfies with me! Just be sure to tag me on Insta: @forrestthephotobus.

Photo booth operation

During open hours, my attendant will coordinate props and help guests feel comfortable being their authentic selves in front of the camera. The self-service setup is easy to run and strips automatically print once a session ends. The attendant will keep things moving by helping out with reprints, social media connectivity and whatever else comes along.

Idle Hour

If you’ve added an Idle Hour to your reservation, I will stay set-up during down time but my doors will be closed to guests. Of course, everyone is still welcome to take photos with my cute self.
