Events photography in London
A special family occasion
Events, parties, family gatherings and religious events are very important moments in a family life. They are a rare occasion to bring your family and friends together, however big or small. Having a photographer during this event will relieve you from the stress of taking photos yourself; it will instead allow you to enjoy the event, child stress-free, and spend time with your guests.
My photography approach
My speciality is family photography, which means that I am used to work around children, babies and families in general and I will use my expertise and skills to ensure your photographs truly reflect all the various moments of your event. My event photography style is natural and relaxed and I will capture the spirit of the day in a discreet way.
How it works?
Prior to the day of the event , we will have a chat so I can get an idea of what the event involves, who will attend, when and where. We will talk about what are the most important photos for you so I make sure I photograph them during the event.
On the day, I can meet you in your home while you are getting ready. This should be the occasion for lovely pictures of your children getting dressed all smartly. This can be the opportunity for a few formal photos of your close family. If there are other children, this will be a calmer time for photos than during the party later.
The party
I will make sure I capture the atmosphere of the event, your guests chatting, the children playing and any entertainment you may have organised. Family events are often a rare occasion to have so many of your loved ones and close friends in one room so you want to have a memory of this very special day and that’s how I can help you so you don’t miss those moments.
These are the words from one of my clients:
“Marion is a wonderful photographer. She captured so many beautiful and natural shots of our daughter’s baptism and first birthday.
She is friendly and down to earth and it was a pleasure to have her at our special family occasion.
We are absolutely delighted with all of the photographs she took and we would highly recommend her as a family photographer.”
If it’s a birthday party, I will capture the small details such as the presents, the decorations and the cake… before it’s all gone!
