Special & Sporting Events

Visually Compelling Stories

From the electric atmosphere of sporting events to the intimate gatherings that sing the songs of our lives, Chris is adept at naturally capturing visually compelling stories. Whether it's a milestone birthday, a black-tie awards evening, or a community fundraiser, every special event deserves photographs that truly reflect the atmosphere and emotion of the day.

His approach to special event photography is truly personal — blending seamlessly into the surroundings to capture unguarded, spontaneous moments that define your event. It is this approach, coupled with a keen eye for detail, that has earned Chris numerous accolades and features in esteemed publications.

Based in Chippenham, Chris covers special events throughout Wiltshire and the wider South West — including Bath, Bristol, Swindon, and beyond. Every shoot is delivered with a carefully edited gallery, ready to share and treasure for years to come.

Special Event Photography

Birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, awards evenings — whatever the occasion, Chris ensures every special moment is documented with the care it deserves. No two events are the same, and no two galleries should be either. Chris tailors his style and approach to suit your event, your guests, and the story you want to tell.

Sporting Event Photography

The raw energy, the determination, the triumph — sporting events demand a photographer who can work quickly and instinctively. Chris brings exactly that. From local competitions to regional championships, he captures the decisive moments that tell the full story of the event.

Great special event photography is about more than just pointing a camera at the action. It's about reading the room — knowing when to step forward and when to hold back, when the decisive moment is about to happen, and how to frame a scene so that the resulting image does justice to the experience. That instinct takes years to develop, and it's what sets professionally photographed events apart from phone-camera snapshots.

After your event, Chris provides a fully edited, high-resolution gallery delivered digitally, typically within 7–10 working days. Prints and albums can also be arranged — ideal for corporate clients who want a lasting memento or families commemorating a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
