First Touch & Bliss Care Coordinator Launch

Another update today. This time pictures from a launch event from the charities First Touch and Bliss who were celebrating the creation of a new care coordinator role which will provide support for families of premature and sick babies in southwest London. BBC newsreader and presenter Sophie Raworth, who is one of the patrons of First Touch, was present as special guest to officially open the event celebrating the appointment of Bobbie Everson and Lyndsey Hookway. You can read more about the evening here.




Socialite Bar Preview Night

Back in October, I was commissioned to take pictures at the preview night of a new private members bar based in Muswell Hill, called the Socialite Bar. The pictures have since been incorporated into a recent redesign of their website, which you can check out via the link above, but I've included a few snaps below, including some very tempting cocktails!

Macmillan Cancer Support Centre Opening at St George’s Hospital

I'll be catching up with updating this blog with work I did over September and October for the next few days. First update are pictures from the official opening of a new Macmillan information and support centre at St George's Hospital back in September. It was officially opened by Cllr Mrs Jane Cooper, Mayor of Wandsworth and Chris Cotton, chief executive of the Royal Albert Hall (pictured above). For more information about the centre out the press release from St George's here.

St George's Graduation Ceremony

This was my third year photographing the St George's University of London graduation ceremony at the Barbican. Just like with my wedding photography, the event runs pretty much exactly the same but there are always new things to look out for... be it snazzily dressed graduates, such as the guy below in the silver suit, synchronised mortar board arranging or candid shots of proud parents and graduates.

St George's Community Open Day

The last 3 months has been pretty busy for me, so I'm using this quiet night in to catch up on updating both of my photography websites. This post is about a job I did back in June, taking photographs of St. George's community open day. It was a well attended event with lots of families visiting the stalls set up by both hospital and university staff. Each stall had various learning processes of the human body, and the opportunity to take part in experiments. The event was also attended by local MP for Tooting, Sadiq Khan who was one of several speakers. In between shots I had a go at getting my blood pressure taken (all clear!) and testing my grip strength, which was also all clear. Somewhat reassuring given I spend many hours holding my camera! You can read more about the event here, and see more pictures on my client page.

Platform Bar & Restaurant's 1st Birthday

Last week I was back at Platform Bar & Restaurant to photograph their first birthday party. I was there last year covering their opening night so it was nice to be back again. Like all good parties there was plenty of food and drink to go around. Tasty samples from their British produce menu were on offer along with hand crafted cocktails to wash it all down. The entertainment was provided by their nominated charity XLP. There are some more pictures from the evening in the client section.

1980s reunion night

This extended bank holiday weekend (thanks Kate and Will!) I will be mostly catching up with some much needed updating of this website. First off are some photographs from a job I did for St. George's University of London back in November last year, photographing their 80s Alumni reunion evening. It was a very well attended event with around 200 guests, and besides from the usual milling around catching up with familiar faces, and looking at memorabilia there was also an evening meal with guest speakers. I didn't stay much longer than that, but apparently all manner of shapes were being thrown in the 80s disco way into the small hours of the night! There are more pictures of the event in the client section, and over on SGUL's Alumni facebook page.
