A little of Benny's story

Not just a booth.
A whole ride.

Every road leads to a story, and Benny's had plenty of them. He's been part of our family for twelve years now, clocking miles up Highway 1, camping trips, and long drives just to watch the sun set over the water. He's starred in photoshoots, music festival promos, and now hits the road as a traveling photobooth bus. What started as a rusted, yellow, nearly-falling-apart bus, Benny is a testament to what a little dream and a lot of love can do to a car, a person, or an event. That same whimsical spirit is what he brings to every event he's invited to.
