On Rhiann and Adam's big day; the weather cooperated and there was glorious sunshine with only a few clouds in the sky! A heart-warming ceremony, some emotional speeches and a great afternoon of celebrations and joy. Best wishes for many years to come! Click "Read More" to read on...
It's been a very busy summer season, here's what I have been up to over the past couple of months. Thank you to everyone involved in organising these events, really enjoyed them and very glad I got to photograph everyone having a great time and help forge memories!

Wow, so much has happened in 2014! I did a fair bit of travelling, started working for a few clubs and the events work had really taken off, Here are my favourite photos through the year to help tell the story, thank you all who helped and were involved! Sunset in Frankfurt, what a beautiful city Worked for "Itchy Feet", its all about swing dancing for them Got to shoot in the beautiful Durham Town Hall to document a debate about climate change A few balls at my uni (Music Society Ball, Sciences Ball, Trevelyan College Summer Ball pictured) (Part 2 of the Summer Season 2014 series)
This year's Trevelyan College Summer Ball took place on 18th June and the theme was "Cool Britannia". Blue, white and red decorations everywhere with actors in fancy dress dotted around. There was a lovely drinks reception with strawberries in the , and there was an ice cream stand right next to the table of bubbly! Very fitting for a Summer ball (ha, summer get it?) I had the pleasuring of walking round with a picture frame (Trev's ball chair, Hannah's idea) and the frame was extremely popular! Everyone loved the frame and wanted a photo through it. Even the "Queen" had a portrait through the frame! (Although Her Royal Highness got her footman, Humphrey to do the hard of work of holding the frame for her) Also the frame was surprisingly roomy, record for the night was fitting something like 11 people in the frame! Plenty of ents (=entertainment) around the college site (I think they really packed in as many as possible). There were some crazy ride in the car park which swings people around (I can't remember what it was called, please see the photos of people screaming their faces off below) and another one that literally spun you around (wasn't quite brave enough to find out what it was called...). Another notable one were dance machines inside, so much fun that even the "Queen" joined in (see photographic evidence down below). Thank you to all the entertainers, live bands, DJ's staff, organisers and lastly, the guests for a great night! You can see the full album over on Trev's facebook here. Wow it's August already! I meant to blog about every event that I covered individually but I forgot due to moving house and other reasons. Sorry guys, here are the highlights in “double bills” to make up for my lack of blogging.
Click Read More for the photos and short posts about each night :) Cuth's was basically full the whole day, even the more tucked away gardens round outside of the main grounds. There was a bouncy castle/volleyball and laser tag arena provided by AR Entertainments. Who could have guessed that Connect4 and air hockey were also very popular. Indoor entertainment in the dining hall included an arcade of a range of games like MarioKart and Wii Tennis, great for when it started raining a little bit. Thank you Cuths big band, Ocasan, Collectors Club and many more for providing us with great music on the main stage from the afternoon all the way into the night. Not to mention Video DJ beatamxx took over inside the converted dining hall, rounding off the day with vibrant tunes (and videos for those who weren't too busy dancing). Thanks all who attended and many who posed for brilliant photos! You made the day a pleasure to photograph :) You can see the full album on St Cuthbert's Society's Facebook page here. I had the pleasure of photographing the BioMed Society Dinner which took place in Stockton, it was a three course dinner served on the Teesside Princess (a tour/party ship, like Prince Bishop in Durham). I have never been on the boat in Stockton before, thanks to the nice weather the "cruise" was brilliant, through lots of photogenic landscapes.
We arrived ahead of schedule and the staff were very accommodating and we set off well on time. Starters were served shortly after a round of welcome drinks from the open bar, which I am sure served many more rounds of drinks after. Main course quickly followed and the dessert not long after, but the staff kindly left enough time for trips to the bar. (There are photos of the delicious food they served in the story board below). President Enoch gave a wonderful speech to round off the evening, noting that this would be the last year that BioMed will be taught in Stockton, thanking his Exec for a great year of work and most of all, thanking all those who made it a fantastic evening on the boat! Thankfully the weather was nice and it stayed dry the whole evening. I think we all had a great time in Stockton, cheers guys! PS. Sorry for only taking the giant group photo right at the end due to my oversight. |
