Happy 100th Birthday!!

June 08, 2018 by gill thomas

What a treat to photograph this inspirational woman's birthday, and not just any birthday, but her 100th!! This was my first 100th birthday shoot but it has been by far one of my favourites. Vera was an absolute gem and my goodness, she looked amazing. She was surrounded by her close family members including grand children and great grand children who all doted on their beloved grandmother. After some more formal family group photographs in the grounds of the care home, we headed back upstairs to Vera's room where bubbles were popped and cards were opened.

Confirmation @ Queens Hotel

June 07, 2018 by gill thomas

Last Sunday I was booked for two hours to cover the reception lunch of a Confirmation ceremony that took place in the Chapel at Cheltenham Girl's College. The lunch was held at The Queens Hotel, Cheltenham, and was a very smart affair.

The family live in Dubai but their daughter goes to one of the private schools in Cheltenham. The intimate party of just twenty guests included all of the grandparents and other close family members. The three course menu looked divine and I was even provided with some food, which was unexpected but very welcomed.

Alex's Baptism

May 26, 2018 by gill thomas

I've had lots of new baptism enquiries this week. The reception for this christening took place at St Luke's Village Hall in Cheltenham. The family were after a collection of mainly informal shots with one or two group pictures. As usual, the children stole the show, but the adults were more than happy for them to take centre stage!
