Event Photography - Spooky Halloween Fun at Frightmare, Over Farm Market, Gloucester

Frightmare is a brilliantly scary interactive event that is a must see if you’re anywhere near Gloucester! Over the years it has steadily expanded with more rides to thrill and captivate its audience. It involves the public entering a ride and walking through the winding, dark corridors while a host of incredible actors and actresses do their best to make you jump out of your skin! The sets and production are first class with superb attention to detail. My job as the photographer was to document the event focussing on the fantastic reactions of the public.

I don’t often blog my corporate, event and public relations photography so my aim for 2020 is to do more..lots more blogging! I love weddings but also really enjoy this other very important side of my business. Whenever I get the opportunity to shoot events such as Frightmare or corporate commissions I jump at the chance. If you have an upcoming event that requires professional photography please get in touch.

Romantic Outdoor Summer Wedding at Drakestone House, Gloucester

“Thank you very much. We had a look through them last night and we love them!

Thank you so much, they’re brill.”

Last summer I photographed Sarah & William get hitched at the awesome Drakestone House near Gloucester. I’ve travelled all around the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire photographing weddings but had yet to visit Drakestone. I really want to go back as it’s an amazing venue for a wedding!. As soon as I arrived I found Sarah upstairs in the bedroom and started shooting the bridal prep. You wouldn’t have thought a wedding was about to happen as the atmosphere was so relaxed and chilled out! William was having a drink with his best man and parents in the gorgeous gardens that swept down in front of the property whilst most of the bridesmaids were pottering around tweaking their hair and sharing selfies!

Documentary wedding photography is all about capturing moments and events as they happen, no re enactment, nothing set up or posed just real emotion. I love this style of shooting! in my opinion bride and grooms shouldn’t be worrying about the photography and group shots etc. They should completely relax and enjoy the time together with their friends and family and trust their photographer. How often is it that all of your family come together in one place, probably hardly ever so the last thing you want to be worrying about is photography! Sarah and William totally got this concept and trusted me to do my thing ensuring all they had to do was drink lots, dance and be merry!

I arrived with loads of time to spare before the ceremony and as the whole day was on the same site it meant lots more time for bridal prep pics! All of my packages let you choose the time I start, giving you plenty of flexibility to ensure I’m covering what matters to you! I love bridal prep as it’s the time of the day where brides can chill with their bridesmaids and mum. To share stories, chat and laugh about the old times before a whole new chapter begins. It’s these occasions that real need to be documented!

Rene and Phil - Relaxed Rustic Marquee Wedding in Tetbury, Gloucestershire

What a brilliant day I had last summer photographing Rene & Phil get hitched down in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. They had planned their day to be completely relaxed and chilled out so opted for a marquee style wedding in the huge garden of a lovely little pub. When I arrived nice and early in the morning Phil was there with his friends getting the place ready. People were sweeping, blowing up balloons, putting the chairs out for the ceremony. The outdoor bar area where the ceremony was to take place was awesome, so cool and rustic looking!

After spending some time shooting the preparation I dashed off to a nearby hotel where Rene was getting ready with her bridesmaids. As soon as the door opened I was greeted with a beaming smile.. I knew the day was going to be perfect!
