I visited The Place 2B Thai Restaurant in Sutton Coldfield on Saturday 23rd August 2008 to cover their Macmillan Cancer Charity Ball for totally magazine.
Owners of The Place 2B Ashley Blake & Jessica Hayes were great hosts and looked after me well. The event seemed to be attended by most of the BBC who were really enthusiatic about having their photos taken, which makes my life a lot easier. It was an amazing night, and was finished off fantastically listening to the night’s entertainment ‘Brothers of Soul’.

Last weekend was free of work so I decided to dodge the rain showers and head off to the local park with the kids. Even at the park there are some great photos to be taken and I never miss an opportunity to experiment with styles and techniques. Here are some examples.

Sunday 3rd August 2008 saw the wedding of Matt and Claire at the neo-Gothic mansion Ettington Park in Warwickshire. I played second photographer for David and although we had to dodge the rain showers for a while we had a great time at the impressive venue. You would not know Ettington Park existed unless you were familiar with the area. It is completely hidden from the main road which is amazing considering the size of the place. Well worth considering as a venue !

I have just returned from a 2 week overseas family vacation. I’ll let you try and guess where from the images posted. We had a great time meetings lots of characters and some old friends. Between us we took over 1000 images and 10 hours of video footage which now needs editing. More work for someone (me). Looking forward to my next trip already.

Warwick College Hair and Beauty Ball 2008
Rugby High School Prom 2008
Another busy week with my sister company Event-Pics with more proms to attend and photograph. Prom events are very busy but very enjoyable with all the attendees determined to have a great time and let their hair down. We start setting up early and finish very late (or normally early the next morning) but someone we manage to keep going. This week it was the turn of Rugby High School, Warwick College and Elite Travel Association thrown in for good measure. I finished off on Sunday afternoon meeting Neil and Marie at Ansty Hall Hotel to discuss photo opportunities for their wedding in September. One more prom to do this week then I’m off to the USA for a couple of weeks. Check out more news on the proms at the Event-Pics blog.

Thursday 26th June saw the start of 4 nights of school proms to attend with Event-Pics. With the school prom season now in full throw, it is a busy time for photographers. The amount of money spent on suits, dresses, accessories and transportation is unbelievable, with some serious attempts at getting everyone’s attention at the prom arrival. And that’s just the Event-Pics photographers ! Check out more about the prom season at the Event-Pics blog.
Congratulations to the guys and girls of Etone College, Westwood School, Myton and Stratford High for your successful school proms this last week. Good luck in your future and we hope to cross paths with you again some day.

The school prom season is really in full swing now with last night’s event for Etone College with my sister company Event-Pics the start of 2 weeks of proms to attend to photograph. Event-Pics set up a mini studio at the event with a white backdrop, studio lights and a viewing station for immediate printing of photos for attendees to take home with them. The setup and style of images are proving very popular with proms and our customer base is growing year on year. Last night was one of Event-Pics busiest ever and it was hectic but fun all night. Check out the Event-Pics blog for more.
