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.

If you would like to book me to photograph your celebration then please get in touch using my contact page or send an email to info@mouseabouttown.co.uk. Alternatively, give me a call on 07983 465414. I'd love to hear from you!

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.

If you have something to celebrate and would like to book something similar then please get in touch using my contact page or send an email to info@mouseabouttown.co.uk. Alternatively, give me a call on 07983 465414. Thanks!

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.

Lockdown Family Reunion

October 14, 2020 by gill thomas

Kathryn contacted me back in August about a family reunion she was trying to organise. They were booked into a Cotswolds cottage in the gorgeous village of Kingham and they were looking for a photographer to capture their black tie event. A quick telephone call later and I was booked for an hour on the evening of the 3rd October from 6.15-7.15pm.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, Kathryn’s family from Sweden were unable to fly over and on the night, to adhere to Government guidelines, the family split themselves into two bubbles. It was a lovely evening, great to be back out and working again, and lovely to mix with such a pleasant group of people. Speeches followed informal drinks and canopes before the family sat down for a three course meal, which was my cue to leave.

Kathryn and her family loved the photos. They contacted me twice after the shoot to tell me how much they had enjoyed my company on the night and how the photos really captured the occasion. Check out my review page to read exactly what they said.
