  Portrait vs Event Photography: Understanding the Difference ​In the world of photography, the choice between portrait and event photography often comes down to personal preference.

Guests in attendance spanned over many years as both friends and colleagues; and they'd all gathered to commemorate the Birthday of a woman who was very respected and treasured.

Thank you Zoe for entrusting us with capturing the images from this very important occasion. It was an eve...
