Venues and areas I cover around Basildon
Basildon events come in all shapes, from birthday parties at home to private functions in hired rooms and company socials that need clean, usable photos. I cover Basildon itself and nearby areas such as Wickford, Benfleet, Grays, Stanford-le-Hope and Chafford Hundred, so if your venue sits just outside town, you’re still in range.

A recent 50th birthday party in Basildon
This 50th birthday party in Basildon was a private home celebration with old friends, family, a standout cake, and an ice cream van parked on the drive. The brief was simple: capture the real moments without turning the evening into a photoshoot. I worked quietly, picking my moments so I felt more like a guest than a disruption, and focused on reactions, hugs, laughter and the details that pull a story together. The result was a professionally edited online gallery that helped everyone relive the night, including the moments they missed while chatting and catching up.
