Last week I photographed the Sunnymede junior school year 6 leavers party in Billericay, Essex. It was a really fantastic party organised by the parents of the pupils at the school, all of the kids (and the parents) had great fun!

I snapped away throughout the night capturing pictures of the children on their own, with their group of friends, and even the whole class!

I caught some great images which can be found on the Sunnymede private gallery.

I also cover School photographs, prom photography, leavers ball photography throughout Essex.

Gary — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 16:25:42 +0000

Last week I photographed at the newly refurbished Mansion Nightclub in Southend-on-Sea. They have done a really great job with the place and it has a really nice look to it now. As always I photographed the night unfolding capturing images of the clubbers, DJ’s and the nightclub dancers. Here are just a few of my favourite pictures from the night:

GDphotographer – National Award winning photographer in Essex, based in Southend-on-Sea.

Gary — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 00:56:18 +0000

I am proud to pronounce I am now a National Award winning photographer, after one of my wedding images received a “strong bronze bar” in a competition run by The Guild of Photographers. The Guild of photographers is a photography association I am a member of. It was the first image I have ever entered into a competition so I was extremely pleased to have won an award. Below you can see the image I entered to the competition, which is based on the film “Reservoir Dogs”. It is always a favourite shot for a Groom and his Groomsmen!

Here is part of the email I got from the competition panel:

“Let me remind you that obtaining a ‘Bar’ of any description is a difficult task as you have to satisfy the Panel your image is beyond the ‘norm’. Many images of a ‘competent’ standard do not achieve a ‘Bar’… as this is judged very strictly as any national competition should be.

You were awarded a strong Bronze Bar. Well done!”

I will be entering more of my images into the competition soon. If I am lucky enough to win another award I will let you know!

The next party I have photographed recently is Chelsi’s 21st at Chase Fitness centre. She is an old friend, as we went to the same primary School in Southend. Chelsi had a fancey dress party, which I believe to have been a disney theme. I must say some of the costumes were awesome! I spent the evening photographing her family and friends and got some great shots for her to remember bits of her night she may have missed. Here are just a few of the shots from the night.

The last week I have been very busy with a few parties in and around the Southend area, and now comes the blog posts. I photograph lots of parties and events and I have built up a reputation of great quality service.

I photographed Samanthas 18th at the Capones nightclub in Benfleet, Essex. Samantha had already had her birthday and been out clubbing, so her party was a chance for her and all of her friends to get together and enjoy a great night. The party got very busy, and I took lots of photos! Here are just a few from the night. To find the whole gallery click here.
