I was recently booked to cover a 90th birthday celebration taking place at Burleigh Court Hotel near Stroud. John Kidson was turning 90, and his daughter, Millie contacted me to enquire into my availability. She booked me for four hours, which covered guests arriving, their sit down meal and a magician, who arrived shortly after they had finished eating.

Not being a motorbike fan, I was completely oblivious as to who John was. In his youth, he had won the Isle of Man TT race a number of times, turns out, he’s a bit of a legend!

The party itself was rather lovely, with a drinks reception, followed by a delicious looking lunch, followed by cake, coffee and magic tricks. My brief was to capture the events as they unfolded. All very candid, natural shots, which is just the way I like it. Below is just a small sample from the 183 photos that Millie and her family received.

If you have something to celebrate and would like it professionally photographed 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! Thanks.
