The Para Dressage Training Trust (PDTT) held a ball at Ashorne Hill in Warwickshire on Saturday 2nd August 2008 to say good luck to the seven riders picked to compete in the Paralympic Games in Hong Kong in September.
Event-Pics photographed the event, including a team photo which was to be signed by all the competitors and auction off to raise funds for the trust.
We wish all the competitors the very best of luck and hope you have a very successful time.
Event-Pics finished off our prom season for 2008 on Thursday 10 July at Stonehill High School in Birstall, Leicester. This was out first Year 9 prom, and the first prom for Stonehill High. All the rest we have done this year have been Year 11, and we were not sure what to expect. We needn’t have worried. The attendees were fantastic, showing great creativity with their prom transportation, outfits and singing and dancing throughout the night. Everyone really enjoyed themselves on a lovely summer’s night. We have a few more photos to the blog for this event to give you a sense of the occassion. We are already booked with Stonehill High for next year. Looking forward to it already. Check out the Event-Pics galleries section for more pics from the event.
Event-Pics attended the Warwick College Hair and Beauty Ball at the Hilton Warwick on Saturday 5th July. The Hilton Warwick is fast becoming our second home as it is a very popular venue for events throughout the year. The staff are great and treat us very well, and the hotel is a great place to stay if visiting the local area of Warwick and Stratford.
The Hair and Beauty Ball was a great night and the photography proved very popular. We did not stop all night. With the photography, great music and lots of drink everyone went home tired but happy. Check out our galleries to see these and other event photographs.
Rugby High School had their prom on Thursday 3rd July at Dunchurch Park Hotel and Event-Pics provided the photographs throughout the night. Dunchurch Park Hotel is set in wonderful grounds with very picturesque scenery. The prom was held in a large marquee in the hotel grounds. We had loads of space to setup our portable studio with viewing station and printers and managed to create some great lighting. Everyone had loads of fun and the night was a great success. Check out this gallery and more.
I came across a lighthearted but slightly amusing article on the BBC’s website yesterday about school proms in the UK. The American style school prom is definately growing in popularity and the amount of money individuals spend on the night is amazing. Some people like to criticise these events as being ‘too American’ and a waste of money, but from what Event-Pics have seen the last couple of years it really is a fantastic opportunity for school leavers to have their night after years of working hard. The look of excitement on their faces as they arrive and meet up with friends is great to watch. The kids love it, so why not let them have their night of fun. Full BBC article here.
Event-Pics had their fourth prom in a row on Sunday 29th June, this time with Stratford High School held at the fabulous Stratford Manor Hotel in Warwickshire. The night started as it meant to go on, with the clock striking 7:00pm a long line of limos, executive and classic cars transporting the excited guests to their prom. Both the cars and the people were all ‘blinged up’ to get people’s attention. Lotsd of parents were outside photographing the goings on, and once inside Event-Pics started photographing the attendees using our individual style of modern high key portraiture with fun and relaxed poses. We were extremely busy all night, with the queue not disappearing until midnight when the disco lights went off, the room lights went on and people started the journey home. Hope to see you next year !
On Saturday 28th June Event-Pics were at Myton School’s James Bond themed Prom at the Hilton Warwick. With close to 200 attendees it was a busy night but with some fun poses and people coming to us over and over again throughout the night we had a fantastic time and made some great friends. Thanks also to the staff of the Hilton as they always look after us.
Friday 27th June was the turn of the Westwood School in Coventry to have their prom, held at the Windmill Village Hotel in Coventry.

We were in a side room with a massive amount of space so had a very comfortable night. Thanks to all !
