Usually, these are in aid of a charity and this one was too.
We love charity events, and can often attend for free, and give a commission of the print sales as a donation to the benefiting charity.
This charity night, was heard about via facebook. A lady on there was holding the event to raise money for a breast cancer charity. We were only too willing to help her with this, so we contacted her, and put our proposal to her.
A couple of phone calls later, and we had ironed out the details. The night of the event came around, and we had organised childcare for our own kids, and Allyson, and myself loaded the kit into the car, and set off.
We didn't have to travel too far, as the venue was only a few minutes away from our house.
Once we arrived, we started to setup.
Background, Lights, Camera, Computer equipment and Printer. When we cover events, we use a professional, Dye-Sub printer that gives a lab quality print that the guests can walk away with only a few minutes after it was taken. Unlike ink-jet prints, they don't run or fade.
Then, the guests started to arrive, and of course, they all had their chance to be photographed, and then review the image straight away.
We had laughs, smiles, and the odd "Ewww, I don't like that, can you re-take it, please?", well, yes of course we can, that's the beauty of digital - you can see the images as soon as they're taken on our viewing station, and if you're not happy, we can re-shoot.
So, this is how it went for the next few hours.
All in all, a successful night. Okay, so more guests could of attended, as the organiser sold more tickets than she had guests arrive, but, these things happen.
We were able to raise some money for the charity, so we'd consider it a success.
Anyway, as always, here are a few of the images from the night.
So, if you're planning an event, be it a dinner night, a ball, charity event or even a corporate night. Why not have us attend, and offer a professional photographer, with On-Site printing. Remember, we can often attend for free, AND give you a commission off each print sold. Basically, we pay you for letting us come along. Now that's a great deal!
