Rowyan's Christening

May 30, 2022 by gill thomas

It was great to see Hazel and her family again. I’ve photographed her children before, each have had a newborn shoot with me and I also covered her daughter’s christening. Use the links below to view the photos from those shoots.

This time around, it was their baby son’s christening, and what a lovely occasion it was. Same church, same vicar, same warm welcome. The service was very relaxed. As with all Church services, I kept my distance, working from the back and the sides so as not to distract from the main event.

Afterwards, it was back to the family home for another hour of photographs, a combination of formal group and more natural shots. Below is just a very small selection from the 184 high resolution images the family received. Head over to my review page to find out what they thought about their experience with me.

Philippa's Christening

October 08, 2021 by gill thomas

I last saw Ruth when I photographed her wedding to David three years ago. Back then their daughter was just a baby and they had her christened on the same day. It had been a very joyful occassion.

Fast forward a few years and it was the turn of their second daughter to be christened. The service was held in their local church in Winchcombe and the reception was a short walk away at Ruth’s parent’s house. Ruth had booked me for one and a half hours to capture shots during the service and afterwards. The service itself was very informal and a similar theme continued back at the house. It was a spectacularly warm September day and as the children played on the lawn, the adults sipped on bubbles. After the cake cutting it was time for me to leave, but I gather they all enjoyed a wonderful afternoon.

Reuben's Christening Party

August 26, 2021 by gill thomas

Little Reuben’s christening was held in the family’s local church. I was asked to attend the party, which was back at their parent’s house. I was booked for two hours and the brief was informal, candid shots mixed with a few group photos. Mum also wanted some pictures of Reuben upstairs, posed with his favourite toy - a giant cuddly dinosaur! Below are a selection of images taken on the day.

80th @ Temple Guiting Manor

July 24, 2019 by gill thomas

Last Friday I was booked to cover an 80th bash at the gorgeous Temple Guiting Manor. It was a glorious evening, so everyone was keen to go outside for pictures on the formal lawn. We started with family groups, as per my client’s request, before moving onto more candid, natural shots of the children and adults relaxing in the evening sunshine. It was a 60 minute shoot and, as always, it was very relaxed and informal. Guests were able to gather and mingle as I gently pulled them to one side when it was their turn for a photo, (I’d been given a shot list in advance.)

Family Celebrations

May 03, 2019 by gill thomas

It always seems to be a busy time in the world of Mouse! I get lots of bookings for family celebrations such as wedding anniversaries and special birthdays. This family were staying at Ellenborough Park for the weekend and booked me for an hour to cover the end of their afternoon tea before heading outside for some informal photographs. The swing always proves popular, with young and old! Here are some of the highlights.

Lewis Turns 1!!

April 22, 2019 by gill thomas

Little Lewis turned 1 last week and I was booked for an hour to capture some photos of him. The shoot took place at my client’s house in Bibury in a beautiful secluded spot. Close family members were to have an intimate birthday lunch and so I took some pictures of the room and cake, which both looked fabulous.

We spent some time outside in the garden before going upstairs to Lewis’ nursery. The light coming in from the window made for some super contrasting black and whites and the smiles from Lewis made for some smashing pics! Here are a few of the highlights.

Verity's Baptism

September 08, 2018 by gill thomas

Kerry booked me recently to cover the baptism of her youngest daughter. I’ve done a few photo shoots for Kerry and her family before but it was the first time I had met Verity. The service was lovely and the setting, Birtsmorton, was spectacular. As their guests gathered inside the Church I gently documented the events from the background. Afterwards we all headed back to the Queen’s Hotel in Cheltenham for a drinks and canapés reception.
