Guests love them every time

Why add them to your tables?

Candid shots no photographer can get

Your photographer can't be everywhere. A camera on every table means the quiet moments, the in-jokes, the stolen glances all get captured.

An instant icebreaker

Put a camera on a table and people start interacting. It gives guests something to do between courses and creates a shared experience.

Fills the coverage gaps

Evening guests, quiet corners, the kids' table; a retro camera captures the parts of your day that often go undocumented.

A better alternative to disposables

Rechargeable and reusable with up to 500 shots on a single charge. No film waste, no disposable cameras.

Add cameras at checkout

£10 each
Maximum per booking20 cameras
IncludesCamera, strap, 8GB SD card, USB-C cable & pouch
