Dazzling Party Photoshoot, The Ivy, Asia

The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester adds style, elegance and vibrancy to a very special birthday celebration.

Challenge For Sharon

Sharon was gathering together her closest friends to celebrate her 50th birthday at The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester.


She had chosen the Ivy Asia setting which is home to the elegant Geisha Room. An intimate setting where she and her 19 guests could catch up and reminisce, enjoy a delicious meal, cocktails and drinks.


It was a milestone Sharon wanted to capture, and a memory she wanted to treasure, so she asked us to be her Event Photographers for the evening!

 

Solution For Sharon

We asked Sharon to walk us through the schedule for the party. As well as helping us plan the evening, it also pin points all those highlights we need to look out for.


Before the guests arrived we buzzed around and photographed the entrance to The Ivy as well as the private dining room and the decorative details.  It was nice to capture some poignant moments of Sharon at that point too.


Next was that special time when the guests arrive and the host greets everyone (which is generally full of emotion).  Then we step back to photograph people chatting over pre dinner drinks.


When people sit down to eat that's our time to leave.  We capture a some of the food as it comes in (or even as it's waiting on the pass) but no-one wants to be photographed eating!


However, we were back in good time for the fancy desserts and of course, the important part, . . . the birthday cake!  And we should mention the Tokyo Night performers: 3 creatively lit dancers that weaved around the room in captivating oriental costumes.


The private room was an absolute joy to photograph.  The Ivy describe it much better that we can: a striking pink onyx bar, sumptuous furnishings and a gold leaf ceiling, all set against breath-taking artwork and floor-to-ceiling mirrors.


The bubbly lovely host, wonderful guests, engaging staff and the fabulous location created some stunning images.  


As well a receiving digital images to share with her friends, Sharon also owns a beautiful coffee table book to remember her remarkable evening.

I have used Roth Read Photography many times for my professional profile. 


Having them photograph my special occasion was a no brainier! They made all my guests so comfortable and mingled in to capture the special moment in an unassuming manner. 


I cannot recommend them enough and have and will use them again and again - my go to people!
