A surprise party at The Blue Boar, Maldon

Date posted: 12 December 2014

Not all the parties we get to photograph are large, rowdy affairs - many are small, quiet family get-togethers such as Ann’s surprise party to celebrate her 80th birthday at the Blue Boar in Maldon, Essex

As with all parties, we aim to capture the atmosphere of the occasion through candid photos and natural portraits. Here are some of our favourite photos from the evening.

If you're planning a family gathering and would like us to capture the atmosphere of the occasion, we'd be pleased to hear from you.
