Documentary Event Photography

Hi, I’m Alison, I’ve been photographing events for over a decade, bringing a natural, documentary style to every occasion.

From birthday and anniversary parties to company and community projects, I capture the spirit of your event with natural, creative photography.

I capture your event as it naturally unfolds. For individuals, that means photos that hold all the feeling of the day. For businesses and organisations, it means honest, engaging images that tell your story and help you connect with your audience.

Whether it’s an intimate gathering, a big celebration, or a project you want to share with the world, I’ll create beautiful photography that reflects the true spirit of your event.

  • “From the first contact, Alison was wonderful. She did an amazing job on the night, and was completely unobtrusive. Her work is first class!”

  • My approach

    Great event photography is all about authenticity. Posed shots are lovely, but the real magic happens in the in-between moments, a burst of laughter, a proud smile, the joy that bubbles up when no one’s watching.

    I’m also drawn to the little details and the bigger picture –  the setting, the thoughtful touches, the atmosphere that brings everything together. It’s these elements that help tell the full story of your event.

    Event pricing

    My event photography is £350 for up to 1.5 hours. This includes photography on the day, hand-edited digital images, and a private online gallery with unlimited downloads. Additional time can be added at £150 per hour.

    If you love the idea of having your photos printed or getting a beautiful bespoke album designed this is an option too. You can order from the gallery or I’ll sort it all out for you.

  • “Alison photographed our son’s first birthday party and I cannot speak highly enough about her photography talents, her professionalism, and her attentive service. Alison was able to capture the most beautiful candid shots of our baby, our family, and friends and we will treasure them forever. I would highly recommend Alison and cannot thank her enough!”

  • Blog story - Charity project event for engineering company – One Tree Per Child

    Bristol Event Photographer

    I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful community initiative organised by SDS, an engineering consultancy with a strong focus on social value and sustainability. The event, held at Stoke Park Estate in Bristol, was part of Bristol City Council’s One Tree Per Child programme – an ambitious effort to increase the city’s tree canopy and support local biodiversity.

    SDS staff rolled up their sleeves and spent the day planting hundreds of young trees, forming two new hedgerows that will benefit wildlife and enhance green space for future generations. It was a hands-on volunteering day that brought people together for a shared cause — protecting the environment while contributing positively to the local community.

    Each sapling was carefully placed and protected with biodegradable sleeves, showing real care and long-term thinking. The project ties in beautifully with SDS’s Social Value Strategy, giving their team the opportunity to directly support local authority goals and make a visible difference to urban greening efforts.

    From a photography point of view, it was a joy to capture the energy and teamwork throughout the day—from muddy boots and high-vis vests to quiet moments of reflection as trees were planted. The event had a real sense of purpose, and I was proud to document it.

    If you’re planning a company charity event or volunteering day and would like to document the story behind it, I’d love to hear from you!
