The Coney is Boardwalk’s showpiece — a faithful replica of the Auto-Photo Model 14, built in Chicago using genuine parts from real vintage booths.
With its checkerboard floor, spinning pan seat, half curtains, finished roof, and original door complete with coin slots, The Coney looks and feels like it could have been pulled straight from a 1960s boardwalk.
The Coney is the most authentic vintage photo booth rental experience in Hampton Roads, perfect for anyone who loves the look, feel,
and character of the real thing.
Designed to Draw a Crowd
The Coney isn’t fully enclosed, but it has just enough structure to feel authentic. The original door, chrome details, and retro signage give it presence, while the roof and half curtains add privacy without hiding the fun. Guests notice it right away — and once they step inside, the vintage styling sets the mood before the first flash.
Whether it’s set up in Huber Court at the Chrysler Museum, inside
The Woman’s Club of Portsmouth, or at The Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach,
The Coney turns heads and keeps guests talking.
An Authentic Photo Booth Experience
Back in the day, booths like The Coney didn’t have screens
or digital previews. Your “live preview” was your own reflection in the glass just before the flash fired — and that was part of the fun. Guests don’t see their photos until the strip prints, bringing back that same anticipation and surprise from the golden age of photo booths.
Modern Reliability Inside
Behind the retro build of The Coney is a professional Canon camera, balanced studio lighting, and a dye-sublimation printer that produces sharp, water- and fingerprint-resistant strips in seconds.
It’s old-school in appearance and rock-solid in performance — built for today’s events but true to its vintage soul.
Perfect for Any Occasion
Boardwalk operates a fleet of eight Model 14s and three Beacon Booths,
but — there’s only one Coney.
That rarity makes it a centerpiece at weddings, milestone birthdays, reunions, and corporate events across Virginia & eastern North Carolina — a photo booth with character that guests remember long after the night ends.
