Tennis & Pool Party (with Pimms!) | Event Photography Malpas, Cheshire

Last weekend we hot-footed it down the M6 to the lovely little village of Malpas  in Cheshire to cover a big farewell party.  Florence and her family we’re moving out of their incredible family home and decided to throw one last big party with all their friends and family.  If Carlsberg did parties, this would be it.  There was a massive tennis tournament on their courts, pool party, hog-roast, live band and most importantly, Pimms on tap.  What more could a man want from a party.  Anyway, enough of  my drivel, here’s a few of my favourites.

Party Photography Cheshire | Ram's 70th | Walton Hall & Gardens

Last weekend we were at the gorgeous venue of Walton Hall & Gardens in Warrington to capture Ram's 70th birthday party.  Surrounded by his closest friends and family, Ram seemed to have a lovely day.  Here's a handful of some of our favourites.

Pippa and Paul's Wedding Party | Cheshire Event Photographer

A couple of weeks ago we headed to the gorgeous 'Hall at Marthall' in Knutsford to cover Pippa and Paul's Wedding Party.  Pippa and Paul weren't your average bride and groom; they didn't get married in a church or registry office.  They got married whilst sky-diving in Vegas!  Have some of that!  To celebrate their adventurous wedding in the sky, they threw a lavish party at the hall at Marthall for their loved ones.  Lovely venue, lovely people and a few lovely images to summarise the day ...

Event Photographer Cheshire | Emily's Christening

Last weekend we headed off to Altrincham, Cheshire to cover this little beauties Christening.  It's little Emily and her ridiculously cheeky smile!   Here's a handful of our favourite shots from the day.  Enjoy peeps and don't forget, if your child's christening is coming up, head over to our party and celebration page to check out what we can offer you.  

Corporate Photography Manchester | H&M Recruitment

We've done a number of corporate bits 'n bobs of late and here's just one of them.  This piece of work was for the high street retailer, H&M.  It was a recruitment event that was held out of hours in their flagship Manchester store.  They wanted a photographer to capture the fun and frolics that could be had if you become a H&M employee ... how much fun and frolics they'll be having at five to four on a Sunday, when they're dying from a hangover, just want to go home and a late shopper enters the store, remains to be seen.  Watch this space.  Anyway, here's a few from the event.

Event Photography Manchester | Manchester University JSOC Ball 2015

We've covered it for 3 years running, so we must be doing something right.  It's Manchester Uni's JSOC Ball 2015.  This year the event took place at the Hilton Suite and the students seem to have 'a ball'.  Sorry!  Anyway, here's some of our favourites from this amazing event.

Party Photography Lytham St Annes | Lois's 90th Birthday

Yep, you read it right.  Here's Lois at the ripe old age of 90 celebrating her birthday with her family and close friends.  Lois invited us down to capture the day and provide her with memories of this special occasion.  Not for a second would you think she was 90, quick witted; light on her feet and full of legendary stories.  Here's a few of our favourites (images, not stories.  They were too explicit!)

Party Photography Manchester | Tashi's Bat Mitzvah

Last weekend we were at the delightful Place Aparthotel in Manchester to cover Tashi's Bat Mitzvah.  This was a mind blowing event, themed around the Oscars and oozing class. Here's a small selection of images from the event.  Mazel Tov (I'll be honest I had to Google that)

Event Photography Manchester | The Lowry Hotel's Staff Party

We recently headed to the incredible Lowry Hotel in the heart of the city to cover their staff party.  If you ever get chance to stay at the Lowry, do it, the place is 5 star luxury from top to toe!  Anyway, here's a few of our favourite shots from what was awesome event. 

Party Photography Manchester | Sage Financial's Xmas Party

This one was our last job before Santa rocked up and it wasn't half a good un.  It was Sage's Xmas Party and we've got quite familiar with the faces at this one as we've covered it for the last three years.  Anyway, grab a glass of port, maybe even have a nibble on some cheese, sit back and have a look at some of the highlights.   

Event Photography Manchester | Arrow Global PLC | The Lowry

Last Thursday we were at the delightful Lowry Theatre in Manchester, providing our event photography services for another Xmas Party.  This time it was Arrow Global PLC’s annual shenanigans. The guests started the night in the Promenade Gallery, which are currently running an exhibition called ‘Behind the Mask’.  The gallery was therefore housing hundreds of incredible portrait shots of all the Oscar winners over the years and really did make an impressive backdrop for their champagne reception.  A few glasses were had and they went up to the impressive Compass Room for dinner and to sink a few more shandies.  Superb night and here’s a few of our favourite shots.  Enjoy my mince pie eating friends.

Corporate Xmas Event Photography Manchester | Slattery's

It’s that time of year again!  Corporate Xmas Party time, where your skinflint boss sticks his hand in his (or her) pocket and puts on a bit of a do for all the hard work, facebooking and gossiping you’ve done for the preceding 12 months.  Most get more drunk than they would on any other night of the year because the boss is paying, Margaret from payroll ends up snogging Derek from Accounts and somebody tells the boss what they really think of them.  What’s not to love?!  Anyway, we’ve covered quite a number of these this year and we bloody love em!  This one was Slatterys, Manchester’s premier Patissiers and Chocolatiers and they didn’t half put on a shindig.  Here’s a few, enjoy you festive little humans.

Event Photography Cheshire | Poppy's Christening

Here she is, it's little poppy. Just one year old and thankfully didn't have to witness any of this black Friday sales madness I did yesterday whilst popping to Asda for my lunch time butty! Anyway, I digress. Sunday gone, I headed to the beautiful village of Higher Walton in Cheshire to cover her christening. There was no coverage of the ceremony, purely formats after, followed by some reportage coverage at the party at their gorgeous cottage. Here's a few of them. Enjoy.

Emma & Anthony's Wedding Party | Leigh | Greater Manchester

Last weekend we headed off to Leigh to cover Emma and Anthony's Wedding Party, following on from their wedding in Cyprus.  Here's a few of our favourite shots.  Enjoy.

The Christening of Amelia May | St Chads | Poulton-le-Fylde

Last Sunday we nipped out to our local.  Church that is, not pub.  We had a job to do and that job was to photograph the gorgeous Amelia May at her Christening at our local church, St Chads.  I've known Amelia's Mum, Natalie for a number of years and it was good to catch up again and be introduced to her beautiful children.  After the ceremony we captured a few formals of Natalie's friends and family, before nipping down the road for a jolly good knees up.  Here's a few of my favorites.

Party Photography Manchester | Great John Street Hotel

Last Saturday we were off to what I consider the best hotel in Manchester, the amazing Great John Street.  We were there to provide coverage of Lee & Maria's joint 40th birthday celebrations.  Lee & Maria live in Dubai and traveled home to celebrate their birthdays with their friends and family in Manchester at this incredible venue.  

Here's a small selection of candids from what was an awesome event.

Black Tie Event Photography | Imperial Hotel | Blackpool

Black Tie Ball at the Imperial Hotel, Blackpool, raising money for Blackpool Vic's Cardiac Unit

On Saturday we were at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool to provide our black tie event photography services to help raise money for an incredibly worthy cause; the Cardiac Unit at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. 

The event was put on by Denise, the mother of a young Blackpool lad called Louie who suffered from a cardiac arrest aged just 22.  The Cardiac Unit were amazing with Louie and he’s now back to full health and back to what he enjoys most, playing football in the Blackpool & Alliance Sunday league.  Having played in that league, it’s his legs he should be worried about now!

We attended the event completely free of charge and donated £70.00 of the print sales straight to the Cardiac Unit.  If you have a black tie event coming up to raise money for a charity close to your heart, why not contact us and get us booked in.  We’ll attend for free and donate 25% of print sales to your chosen charity.  It really is a no-brainer.    

Party Photography Ramsbottom | Julie's 40th Part Deux

A few weeks ago we covered part one of Julie's 40th ... the boozy part. Julie invited us back to cover the second part of her birthday at her beautiful home surrounded by friends and family and her pet cat.  Amazing human beings these lot, accommodating, welcoming and easy on the lens. Here's my favorites. Happy birthday Julie and let me know when Part Three is !

Prom Photography Chester | Chester Race Course

We’ve covered loads of proms and graduations this Summer.  Unfortunately I haven’t had time to blog them all, but this particular one deserves an entry.  The students at Helsby High Sixth form went all out, displaying planning skills far greater than their actual age of 18!  They planned the whole prom themselves with a vegas theme that covered all bases.  There were ginormous vegas backdrops for entrance images, a multitude of casino tables for them to get involved in, life size Elvis’s and much more.  Here’s a few images from what was a little belter of a prom.  

Party Photography | Jade & Matthew’s Wedding Party

Bit late with this one, knee deep in events at the moment!  This, in all honesty was probably one of the best events I’ve ever had the pleasure of covering.  A couple of weeks before their wedding party, Jade and Matthew got married in France and this party was a massive celebration for all their family and friends who were unable to attend.  The party was at the beautiful venue of The Mere in Cheshire and I love the place, having covered a number of events there.

Guests arrived to a glass of champagne and were ushered into what can only be described as a room of flowers.   As I’m a man, I probably shouldn’t say this, but, they were beautiful.  After an hour or so mingling, a set of double doors opened and the best party room you've ever seen was unveiled to the guests.  There was a swing band that were immense, girls dancing inside 8 foot champagne glasses and much more.  The theme was the Great Gatsby and put simply, they’d absolutely nailed it.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings, here’s some of the images from the evening.
