Special event photographer at HMS Warrior in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

Having nipped over to Portsmouth, late this afternoon, I headed to one of my favorite locations – HMS Warrior in the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth. I was doing the Birthday and Wedding Anniversary photography for Anna and Mark.
We captured some family photos around the ship. We opted for some photos on deck and at various locations, before the couple and their guests headed below for a great night of partying. Starting a little prior to 7pm, I covered some family photos and then candid photos above and below deck, before the guests sat down at around 8.15pm to a fantastic meal, provided by the staff of County Caterers. You can view their website here, or via the link to them from my own website links page: http://www.countycaterers.co.uk/
The website of HMS Warrior is here: http://www.hmswarrior.org/ and I always enjoy working with the staff here and particularly Julie and Andrew who coordinate their events and weddings and were both present and working hard to make things run smoothly, as they did. .
The images will be available for viewing for Anna and Mark and their family and guests very soon.

Gosport Half Marathon. Sport event photography in Hampshire

Today I attended the Gosport Half Marathon, hosted by the members of Gosport Road Runners Running Club: http://www.gosportroadrunners.org.uk/

I was the official photographer for the event on 21st November and have covered this race as official photographer for five or six years now. It is very well organized and attended and the larger than previous years entry did catch me out a little at times. The event website is here: http://www.gosportroadrunners.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=58 and it was a good turnout / entry level.

We had overcast conditions and so I managed to capture a good selection of images around the course at around 11 miles – on the promenade in Lee on the Solent. I chatted to a number of the marshals on the day and was impressed with their commitment and skill in hosting this race. The race seems to grow year on year and has a noticeably great atmosphere – even a steel band from Gosport.

I photographed the vast majority of runners, albeit some escaped me this year as I was at 11 miles and not 13 and runners do tend to run in packs or waves.

The images will be available for viewing and sale to the runners very soon, typically within 24 hours of each event. If you are organizing a similar event and require a high quality professional event photography service and typically with no cost to the organisers, please just get in touch.
