Bespoke Tuk Tuk Photo Booth
Baildon, England, United Kingdom
Aim
To Continue to Develop our Unique Bespoke Tuk Tuk Photobooth experience.....
I'm Rhian, sole owner and creator of Titus Tuk Tuks Ltd.
Titus was formed with the intention of creating an income and an outlet for my many skills, gained after years of job hopping to fit around family commitments.
I have worked in Hospitality, Marketing, Recruitment, Home Interiors, Fashion etc.
My influences include Vintage Finds, Fashion, Upcycling, Architecture, Photography, Music & the White Isle!
Connie, a 1960's Limited Edition Replica Piaggio Ape Calessino was imported with the intention of creating a unique experience as a mobile photo booth without all the throwaway, generic cardboard props but instead creating a bespoke backdrop and props from scrap and salvage to blend with your event theme, whilst bringing something a bit more outlandish & memorable to the party.
Our two year goal is to also use Connie as Wedding & Event Transport so we can offer a wraparound service for the duration of the event. This will encompass converting to an electric engine which is naturally kinder to the environment and falls in with the Bradford Clean Air Zone (Currently in the Consultation process) and also means we can set up inside venues which currently will not allow us to do so due to her Diesel engine.
Over the last couple of years I have designed my website, set up social media accounts, designed marketing material, arranged importation and started renovation of the my Calessino, sourced a personalised number plate etc
(All whilst being a single mum, working & studying full time)
Having recently completed a degree course in Hospitality Management, learned to drive, gained a Personal Alcohol Licence, updated my DBS certificate & worked at a few festivals I am now in a position to launch my business.
Recently having experienced food banks & having to rely on free school meals a situation brought about by a prolonged divorce we are working towards boosting the funds of and volunteering with The Cinderella Club in Bradford which provides treats for underprivileged children and has been doing so since 1890!
Following the upward trends of Sustainability, Floral Sculpture and Maximalism we aim to create a tactile experience and ultimately memorable photography.
In order to be customer ready we have a few areas that need embellishment to truly take off in style:
- Replacement zip off covers
- Woodwork renovation
- Paint touch up
- Bespoke prop creation
- Launch Marketing
- Heater Installation
- Advanced Photography Course
- Neon signage
All contributions are greatly appreciated to take us to the next level.
Peace & Love
Rhian
