It might be nearly February, and for most of us, the decorations are back in the attic, the turkey leftovers are long gone, and Easter eggs are on sale in the supermarkets. But we're still photographing Christmas parties! Throughout November and December, Danny Higgins Photography were busy with christmas party events photography for company parties, as well as organised dinners in Bucks and Herts - professional fun portrait photos for those out for a great evening. But some hard-working companies have their busiest time just before the Holidays. So we're off to add a bit of festive cheer to a London marketing agency's 'post-Xmas' party, with a 1980's-themed party photography setup in Shoreditch. Out come the wigs and Santa hats... again! But we don't just photograph parties at Xmas... if you'd like to add a little extra at your next event, then give us a call to book us for bespoke event photography to suit your next party, dinner or ball. ...more

One of my few weekends off, and I was on the road to Devon for the wedding of a great friend of mine. A few months previously, Rob asked me if I would accept the job of being his Best Man, which I accepted with pleasure. And so I started planning a speech. Then he called again... "are you bringing your camera?". I couldn't refuse also being the wedding photographer, and got thinking about how I'd photograph Rob (about 6 foot tall) and his demure wife-to-be (not 6 foot tall...!). "Oh, and your guitar - we're having a jam night in the evening." Rob's a great musician into his Blues, his wife a country and western musician. Having not picked up my guitar in many months, the weekend was looking like a toughie! The Best Man duties went well. And although the combination of windy and rainy weather and a massive proportion of the guests being under 5 meant the wedding photography was a challenge, we got some great photos capturing the day, as well as the music evening, where we got some great black and white shots of the myriad of musicians that picked up a guitar to entertain the crowd and locals. And the music? Well, it seems as though not playing the guitar for some time was no excuse for not playing for much of the evening! We had a blast, although with the wedding photographer otherwise engaged, unfortunately there are few pictures of me that night... you'll just have to take my word for it! A fantastic weekend off, although I was soon back to work for a break! ...more

We were honoured recently to be asked to photograph the superb I Fagiolini at their rehearsals for their latest recording. The rehearsals took place in a huge church, adding to the atmosphere of the piece. This latest classical music photography jobs we've been asked to cover. ...more

The new Kings Head studio opened with a bang last week, as we began our campaign to get Aylesbury into the festive spirit! With the aim to capture 1000 Festive Faces with portrait photography of 1000 Aylesbury folk wearing our jolly Santa Hat, we saw queues across the courtyard on Saturday as the campaign started to gain traction! We're already at 156 festive faces, with several weeks to go until Xmas Eve! See if you recognise anyone in our Facebbok gallery

It's all in aid of charity - the Aylesbury Festival - who are gallantly bringing cultural music and entertainment to Aylesbury town. Following this Summer's inaugral festival, the aim is to raise sufficient funds to put the event on again in 2012 and beyond...!

So if you're passing, pop on our headwear and smile for the camera! You'll even get a Facebook image as a thankyou!

And we'll listen to what you want from your photograph - we don't have a set roster of poses for every customer, instead we'll work to bring out your best features and personality with a fun, freeflowing sitting you're guaranteed to enjoy!

Having been photographing subjects for years, I am often asked my opinion on where I'd recommend my clients could go to get their holiday photos, Christmas snaps and so on printed. Choosing where to go can be like pulling teeth!

Until now, I've never recommended anyone - I've found many online and internet companies to be OK, but nothing I'd specifically say was stand-out, until now.

Photo printing by these guys is amongst some of the best and varied products I've seen recently, from Framed Photographs to Photobooks and postcards - all great quality and at great prices.

Short of professional photo printing, I think these are as good a consumer printing service as I've seen. Check 'em out.

Make sure you use this link or the Photographer code 'DHPP' when you register - it'll give you access to more products and better prices. Just a little thank-you from us...

What an amazing night! The British Interactive Media Association's annual Awards event saw Fabric nightclub open its doors to over 1300 eager media agency bods keen to see just who had won one of the most hard-fought awards of the year.

Our brief was a large one - help the guests have fun with an event photography portrait studio with fun props, capture all the activity of the award presentations and snap the winners with their cherished gongs, and do 'something to help the awards become the most interactive ever'!

So, the team set to putting together four separate photographic activities, printing photos for the guests throughout the night, and sending images to Flickr and Twitter throughout the night, helping generate the biggest Social Media buzz of any awards ceremony ever (as far as we know) - Along with the Social Media team at SoAmpd we tweeted so much, even Twitter struggled to keep up! We even sent each guest we saw an innovative piece of personalised art online to commemorate the night!

By 3am, we were packing up, slightly stunned by the busy evening just passed, and buzzing from the great music, entertainment and superb 'up for it' attitude of all the guests! The Chair of BIMA was extremely pleased with the evening, praising the photo team as having 'excelled in... innovation and professionalism' - and we were having fun too!

Whilst the Queens Park Art Centre entertained art and craft lovers at their Annual fair, we gave visitors the opportunity to have a portrait shoot ready for Christmas! As always, we came prepared with various props and backgrounds, and took a number of Xmassy photos of kids with our superb Santa hat! As always, we had a varied range of visitors. And, as is par for the course, a few energetic subjects too, but a combination of fun props and chocolate soon brought them round! A fun day!

We had a great evening supporting Style Magazine on Friday night at their superb Masked Ball in aid of the Eve Appeal.

A few hundred guests arrived at Whittlebury Park in their fantastic ball gowns and glamorous masks, ready for an evening of food, drink, a fashion show and of course a little dancing! We held court at the event portrait photography studio, capturing great portraits of the guests as they enjoyed their evening. With couples and several business in attendance, the guests were certainly varied, but they were all determined to have a great night out! Our symathies were with one poor chap who had booked a table for his team, only for them to break down en route! He didn't let being the only one there spoil his intentions of having a great night, and even had his photo taken to share the fun back at the office the following week!

Many thanks to all the guests, and the organisers, for making the evening a roaring success, and to House of Fraser for supporting the superb fashion show too!

Hundreds of shoppers gathered throughout the day to see the Friars Square Fashion Show, put on as part of the 'Wear it Pink' Breast Cancer awareness day. As 5 beautiful girls and one lucky man showed off new clothing ranges as diverse as chunky jumpers from Burtons to skimpy undies from La Senza, I sited myself at the end of the catwalk, catching every pout, turn and pose throughout the morning! Working next to me as I captured some stunning fashion photographs was the Bucks TV videographer, and I'm sure we did nothing to help the models strut their stuff without distraction! Still, I think the gang of 10 teenage boys behind me would agree, the shows were a great hit!

There was an amazing turnout in Weedon Park this Thursday as over 20,000 people headed out in the hottest day of the month for one of Aylesbury Vale's biggest events. We braved the diversions and slow traffic to join them, aiming for a cover shot for Vale Life magazine.

With attractions from cattle and sheep competitions, ex-hunting hounds, showjumping and equestrian dressage shows, photography opportunities were plenty. There was even an amazing display by the Met Police on horseback as they navigated an assault course complete with blazing hoops - their first appearance since their involvement in the London riots, and the appreciation of the crowd was I'm sure twofold.

By the end of my short visit, I was as tired as these bassett hounds relaxing in the scorching sun.

Last weekend, I headed to Oxfordshire to spend a day photographing members of the Banbury Dog Club, and their faithful friends as they participated in Dog Agility trials and other fun events all in aid of charity. Ever since having owned a Golden Retriever a long… long time ago, I have had a great affinity with dogs of all sizes. Well, almost all anyway – the bark from a pit bull terrier still puts the fear of God into me.

So I was pleased to be able to ruffle the fur and tease the dogs who came to participate in this fun event. From Retrievers and Labradors to Spaniels and even a Whippet or two, owners put their companions through their paces with varying degrees of success, as I rolled around at dog-level to capture their progress on film for prosperity! All had a great day, and we came away with some cracking dog agility photographs, which the owners loved, as well as several muddy paw prints on my legs and t-shirt.

It was quite possibly the muckiest shoot for some time. Maybe I should have stuck with photographing the prestine Crufts-style dog show instead?
