Breast Cancer Pink Charity Ball

On Saturday I had the oppotunity to be involved in a fundraising event for Breast Cancer and The Willow Foundation. The organisers through a beautiful pink ball with a live jazz band, an 8 year old singer (who was amazing) and other entertainment. I was set up in the venue reception photographing the guests under a balloon arch. They then purchased their 7x5 image in a black photo folder. I made a donation to the charities out of the profit. It was a hectic night but it all went well and the photos are lovely. I would also like to say that I really admire people who recover from cancer and go on to do brilliant things like raising money for the charities that helped them. There were quite a lot of women there that had suffered breast cancer and beaten it, with lots of awareness and donation to charity, it will be beaten!

Brother and Sister Portraits

I had another fun shoot the other day! 2 sisters and their brother. I did some shots of them together and then some separate for each of them. Their Mum had seen my work of another family on their living room wall and had to book to me. Word of mouth and recommendation is definitely the best form of advertising, most of my work is through recommendations.

Editing Work



My friend has set up her own cake business - her designs are amazing. She is currently making her leaflets and asked me to prepare her cake decoration photos for her advertising. I edited them using Photoshop. I really enjoy editing work, I have had quite a few editing jobs over the years, including fixing 40 wedding images for a Bride that wasn't happy with her wedding photographer! If you have any photos you need fixing, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you would like a quote on 'Aunty Lornas' cakes, please contact me and I will pass on the details.

It was a lovely and the rain held out thank god! Got lovely shots around the grounds, Langtons has some lovely photo opportunities including a lake, pillars etc...Congratulations Shirley and Dave! What a beautiful day!

Wedding - 12/08/10

On Thursday the 12th I photographed a beautiful tropical themed wedding at Orsett Hall, Essex. The grounds of the venue are lovely, lots of great photo opportunities - bridges, palm trees, fountains etc. The inside of the venue was perfect for photographs too, beautiful decor and the wedding suites...wow! The Bride and Groom chose the brightest suite, which was blue and pink to match their tropical wedding. I love the idea of a colourful wedding, the photos are so bright. The wedding day was perfect, everything ran smoothly and the Bride and Groom looked amazing and had a brilliant day. Congratulations Phil and Karen!
