Rivervale Barn Tasting Day | February 2012

February 18th, 2012

On Wednesday we were back at the beautiful Rivervale Barn to photograph their latest tasting event.
As always, the set up looked fantastic with many of the recommended suppliers decorating the barn ready for the event!

Nick and his team did a super job, the food looked amazing and (trust me on this) it tasted just as good as it looked!
Everyone was in high spirits and thoroughly enjoyed sampling all the different food and drink choices on offer.

Thank you again to Hayley and the events team for creating a fantastic evening. We are really looking forward to another year of weddings at the incredible Rivervale Barn.

Here’s a few images from the evening:

De Vere Venues Annual Charity Burns Night 2012 | Event Photography

January 23rd, 2012

We were very happy to be asked back to photograph De Vere Venues Annual Charity Burns Night at Wokefield Park for the third consecutive year.
This fantastic evening raises money for the Variety Club Children’s Charity and has raised over £200k during the past 3 years.

The complete gallery is now viewable online HERE: (http://bit.ly/wW4OP6)

Wokefield Park’s Mansion House was again treated to incredible projection effects courtesy of SFL Group. This year this included active flames, stunning tartan and GB flag for the launch of De Vere’s Great British Hospitality initiative (if only someone had remembered to turn their bathroom light off!)

The interior was treated to a total transformation again this year courtesy of the ever impressive Cherubs and Bluehat UK.
Bluehat UK designed, built & installed all the dressing in the Mortimer, Old Lounge and Palmer rooms, the 10m horses painting in the bar and the bar lounge pseudo panelling as well as all of the wall decorations, tapestries, paintings, drapes, flicker flames, mirror decorations and screens behind the mini. You get the picture… the scale of the undertaking and quality of execution, never fails to impress!

Guests were escorted to the venue in a fleet of fantastic BMW cars and were greeted by a team of bagpipers & drummers along with a glass of champagne! Definitely a great way to start the evening!

As you might expect, the gourmet food, entertainment, haggis, games and all round atmosphere was excellent!
In a bid to help raise money, some fantastic prizes were auctioned off and one lucky chap won a brand new mini @ midnight!

All in all the night was another amazing success, this year the target of £75k was smashed and over £82k was raised for the Variety Club Children’s Charity.

Everybody appeared to thoroughly enjoy themselves and with such successful night’s fundraising!
We hope to see you all again next year!

November 27th, 2010

On Wednesday we photographed the fabulous Rivervale Barn tasting day.

Cherubs did a great job in decorating the Barn and tables, it looked fab!

During the evening we captured the couples sampling the different drinks on offer and enjoyed photographing the chefs working their magic in the kitchen! It’s not often that we get to see Nick & his team in action, they were fantastic to watch and the results were amazing!

The food looked great and made our mouths water just looking at it!

Well done to all the team at Rivervale for putting on such a great evening!

Here’s a few photos from the evening.
