The Devlin's

Lovely 30 minute session with the Devlin’s at the weekend, who were celebrating their Father’s 80th birthday. We met at Egypt’s Mill in Nailsworth, which has lovely grounds. We utilised the beautiful old mill building, and the lake. It was quite a lively atmosphere, as the England match was on inside, and a few of the family members were keen to watch the footie! Below are a small selection of images that the 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.

Norman's 70th

Norman booked me to photograph his 70th birthday party two or three months ago. I was there for an hour to capture a large group shot, photos of the cake, the speeches and natural images of guests enjoying themselves. It was a lovely afternoon, in a beautiful setting, and the weather just about held! I particularly enjoy reportage photography as it captures the event in its most natural and honest way. Below are just a small selection of images from the 104 that Norman received.

Traditional Wedding Dress

I photographed Elin and Clara in January, when they booked me to capture photographs of their engagement. To view the photos from their engagement shoot, please click here.

This time, they wanted photos of themselves dressed in their traditional wedding outfits. They booked me for 15 minutes and we used the grounds of Gloucestershire University, near Pittville. Not a venue I have ever used, but it made a nice backdrop and they had sought approval beforehand from the owners.

John Kidson's 90th

February 25, 2024 by gill thomas

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.
