Special Event Photography at the Brookfield Hotel in Emsworth, Hampshire

This evening I attended The Brookfield Hotel in Emsworth to photograph a special event being hosted by one of their guests. It was a surprise party with around 30 guests attending a surprise (for some) family reunion. You can view the website of the hotel here: www.brookfieldhotel.co.uk

I have attached a few images – it was an informal family event and was attended by around 30 people. Couples and family groups posed for some portraits in the attractive gardens at the hotel between around 6.15pm and 7.00pm. If you are organizing a similar event – why not contact me to see if I am free and might be available to cover yours? I can offer a very affordable rate for short time bookings, subject to my availability. 

I thoroughly enjoy working at the Hotel and especially with their Wedding and Events Manager called Jamie Drew (01243 373 363) who coordinates all their weddings and other events.

Wedding Photographer at HMS Warrior in Portsmouth

Today I was at HMS Warrior. I was doing the wedding photography for Helen and Martin and they were fab and FUN to work with. After the ceremony and a few shots Captains Cabin - we posed for some photos, before a reception of provided by the staff of County Caterers. Thank you to Tracy and also Erin and Siobhan from the Events Team at HMS Warrior.

The reception took place on the Cable Deck (near the bow of the ship) and provided a unique backdrop to the indoor photos & a new location (after photographing maybe 50 weddings or special occasions) for ME - at HMS Warrior over the last ten years or so.

All the images were quickly available for viewing for Helen and Martin, but just a few favourites are shown here.

Wedding Photographer at St Mary in Portchester and the Langrish House Hotel near Petersfield.

I had a fantastic time attending St Marys in Portchester, followed by the Langrish House Hotel for a wedding today. I was doing the wedding photography for Katy and Ste and it was a FUN and relaxed day.

Langrish is a fantastic Manor House with superb gardens for wedding photography and is near Petersfield in Hampshire. The Hotel and she can be contacted on 01730 266 941 or else e frontdesk@langrishhouse.co.uk

I have covered a number of weddings and receptions here previously. I also advertise in their current wedding brochure and the hotel holds one sample album containing images I captured at previous Langrish House weddings.

I had a challenging day owing to the rainy weather - but a fantastic time working with Steven and Katy and their families.

I realise that many couples visiting will be getting married at other local churches and venues and I am pleased to say that the Hotel is close to home and so I have good experience of many of the great venues and other locations for photography in our locality.

Wedding Photographer at the Town Hall and Norfolk Arms Hotel in Arundel.

Today was a local wedding for me, for the first time ever at the same Hotel in Arundel - The Norfolk Arms - for two weddings in two days!! I was also going back to the Arundel Town Hall. I was doing the wedding photography for Alex and Dan at this fantastic historic location and Town.

After a few 'getting ready' photos at The Norfolk Arms Hotel, with Alex and the bridesmaids, I walked back to the Town Hall which is just off the top of the main High Street in Arundel. The ceremony was enjoyable to photograph and was in a fantastic room as can be seen from the photos.

We had fantastic, bright and dry and warm weather, which made for great conditions for group photos on the roof terrace, before I headed off to seek out a vantage point near to the Castle for some photos with the couple. After photos near the castle and some time to mingle with their guests, everyone headed back to the Norfolk Arms Hotel for a great meal & evening of entertainment.

The website of Arundel Town Hall is in the links page on my website as they list me amongst their local suppliers. Or you can access it here: www.arundeltowncouncil.gov.uk/cgi-bin/buildpage.pl?mysql=17

The Hotel Staff were exceptionally helpful to me and especially Nicky and Elizabeth. They can be contacted via 01903 882 101 or events.norfolk@forestdale.com  or  www.forestdalehotels.com/norfolk-arms 

The images will be available for viewing for Alex and Dan and their families and friends very soon. A few are posted here to show you some tasters!
