David & Alicia's Golden Wedding Anniversary

View more presentations from Triggers Photography.

Remarkably, it was my parent's Golden Wedding Anniversary on 6th June. 50 years of marriage is a magnificent achievement in anyone's book but Mum and Dad seem to have taken it completely in their stride!

The anniversary itself was a very happy occasion with 130 guests joining in the celebrations in Canterbury, Kent. Highlights included a performance of Panis Angelicus by two of their grandchildren Joseph and Natasha (no mean feat!) and a humorous take on the gameshow 'Mr & Mrs' which I hosted!

Anyhow, here are the photos from the day itself which I took, apart from when I was performing on stage (thanks Jacob)! For best viewing results, click on the menu icon in bottom left corner of the slideshow and select full screen.

If you're looking for a professional photographer to capture a special occasion similar to this, whether that's a landmark anniversary, a party, a gala evening or a corporate event, then do get in touch. I'm also open to any offers to be a gameshow host ;-)

Party at the RAC Club, London

A few weekends ago, Nick and Gail had a joint 50th birthday party at the RAC Club in London and asked us to capture the special occasion. It's an impressive venue so it's always good to capture the ambience of the place as well as the guests. It's also a good idea to remember to wear a tie!

Happy 90th Birthday!

We photograph a variety of different events - some times they are corporate affairs but more often than not, they're social gatherings from weddings and christenings to parties and family get-togethers. This particular family event was in aid of the head of the family who happened to be celebrating her 90th birthday no less! Looking at the photos, you'd never have guessed she's ten years shy of a century!

We arrived after lunch and stayed for just over 3 hours. In that time, we were able to take plenty of very natural reportage shots of everyone enjoying themselves in the garden. Every now and again, we took family members to one side to take their individual portrait. So not only did we capture the event itself but hopefully they'll each have something they'll want to hang on the wall as well.

At intimate events like this, it's important not to completely over shadow the occasion and start to dominate proceedings. That's why we always try to be as unobtrusive as possible, not just out of respect for the host but also because we know from experience that that's the best way to get most natural looking photographs!

Kid's parties

When you put the time and effort into throwing a party for your children, it can be a great idea to hire a professional photographer to properly record the day as it unfolds.

If you were to hire us, we'll make sure we capture those special moments and leave you with a beautiful collection of photographs for you to enjoy for many years to come.

We take a fly-on-the-wall approach so most of the time they hardly notice we're there. But we can also bring some portable studio lighting along with us if you like the idea of creating some stunning informal portraits at the same time. It can be a fun experience for the kids as long as it doesn't take too long or detract from the main event.

We pride ourselves in providing a premium service, so every photo we supply will meet strict QC standards. Each photo is meticulously retouched to ensure we only supply images of the highest standard. We'll also post them online in our Private View gallery so that all the parents (and granparents for that matter) can view and order prints from the day. You also have the option of having all the images supplied on disk or even designed in a leather bound book for safekeeping!

Parties & events

If you're thinking about throwing a big party it sometimes makes sense to hire a professional photographer to capture it properly so that you can remember it for years to come. Let's be honest, you don't want to be worrying about shutter speeds when you've got a glass of bubbly in your hand! We get asked to photograph all sorts of events from parties, christenings and anniversaries to sporting events, corporate functions and PR events.

These photos are from Emma's 30th birthday party which was held last weekend at the Admiral Codrington in Chelsea. She's from Down Under so we posted these photos on our Private View gallery so that she could show everyone back home.
