Who we are

We’re Tim and Jade—partners in business and in life—bringing a shared love for all things vintage and vibrant to every celebration we’re lucky enough to be part of.

What started as a side hustle and creative outlet quickly turned into Rust & Retro, inspired by a chance encounter at the beach with a Vespa-turned-coffee-cart. That sparked the idea to transform a vintage Piaggio Ape into a one-of-a-kind mobile photo booth—because why not turn something quirky and charming into a full-blown memory maker?

With backgrounds in hospitality and a deep love for throwing unforgettable parties, we’re all about creating experiences that make people smile. From our rusted ’54 truck to our Ape photo booth, everything we roll up in has a story—and so will your event.

Whether it’s blending into your vibe with our styling or hyping up your guests with our energy, we’re here to bring the fun, snap the memories, and make sure your big day is as beautiful as it is unique.

Let’s make some magic together.
