There’s something truly special about photographing events in the comfort of people’s homes. Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a beautiful family gathering in Liverpool, held on one of the warmest days of May. The atmosphere was joyful, with family members and friends coming together to celebrate in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

What made this event even more memorable was the opportunity to capture genuine, candid moments. From the heartfelt laughter of the adults to the delightful chaos of children playing, every shot told a unique part of the story. I focused on photographing those fleeting moments—like when the little ones were lost in their games, totally unaware of the camera.

I’m sharing a selection of the photos here to give you a glimpse into the day’s magic, but keep in mind, this is just a small part of the full collection. Every moment was thoughtfully captured to reflect the event’s joy and togetherness.

I also want to take a moment to give a shout-out to the incredible suppliers involved. Their professionalism and attention to detail were truly top-notch, making the day run smoothly. If you’re planning an event and need recommendations, these are some fantastic teams to consider!
