The photographs
The people.
The atmosphere. The good bits.
Drinks in the garden, dinner with friends, speeches and a busy dance floor. Photographs from different parties and celebrations, with room for the quieter moments too.
All photographs by Jean-Luc Benazet.
A relaxed approach
Be a host.
And a guest at your own party.
Bringing your favourite people together takes thought and effort. When the day arrives, you deserve time to enjoy their company—and photographs that include you in the celebration.
Beforehand, we’ll talk through the timings, important people and any group pictures you’d like. During the party, I’ll photograph the greetings, conversations, reactions and dancing, making time for groups at a convenient moment. You can spend more of the evening with your guests, with photographs to bring it back afterwards.
A little planning makes a difference.
Share the running order and a short list of important people or groups. I’ll help you choose the coverage so the photographs fit around the celebration.

A few useful answers
Before you
get in touch.
What kinds of parties do you photograph?
Birthdays, family celebrations, college dinners and other private parties in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. Tell me what you are planning, the venue and approximate guest numbers, and I’ll suggest suitable coverage.
How many hours should we book?
Two or three hours works well for many parties, allowing time for arrivals, atmosphere, group photographs and key moments. One hour can cover a particular part of the event. We’ll use your running order to decide what makes sense.
Can you take group photographs?
Yes. Tell me which groups matter most before the party. We’ll choose a convenient moment, find a suitable space and keep the photographs organised without holding up the celebration.
Do you photograph parties at home?
Yes. Private houses, gardens and hired venues are all welcome. Let me know about the space, approximate numbers and any indoor or outdoor plans so I can prepare.
Can you photograph in a dark venue?
Yes. I work with the available light where it suits the photographs and use controlled flash when needed. The aim is to keep the atmosphere of the room while making clear photographs of your guests.
When should the coverage start?
If you would like photographs of the room and decorations before guests arrive, allow around 15–30 minutes within your booked coverage. Otherwise, we can start with arrivals or when the party is under way.
Do you cover children’s parties?
Yes. I can photograph games, reactions, the cake and family groups. Tell me the ages of the children and the planned activities, and please let parents and guests know that a photographer will be attending.
When will we receive our photographs?
You’ll receive a preview within 72 hours. The full edited gallery is usually delivered within 7–10 working days, with high-resolution and web-ready images through a private online gallery. If you have an earlier deadline, please mention it before booking.
How much does party photography cost?
One hour is £180, two hours is £280 and three hours is £380. Additional time is £100 per hour. A full edited gallery with high-resolution and web-ready images, delivered privately online, is included. I’ll confirm the coverage and quote before you book.
How do we arrange the photography?
Use the enquiry form to send your date, venue, start and finish times and approximate guest numbers. Let me know about key moments and any important groups. I’ll reply with availability, coverage suggestions and a clear quote.
