Bournemouth Calendar Girls

August 22, 2015/ James Bridle

This week I was invited by a good friend of mine Mr Matt Hardy to assist at the Bournemouth Calendar Girls Final. What a laugh this was, 7 Limos, 50 girls lots of beautiful dresses and a Church named HALO, raising money for those with that horrible C word, Cancer. local businesses joined together to make this event possible. It was lovely meeting new people, one of the main reasons I love Photography and my job is the ability to meet so many great people from all different industries, heres some of the photos!

Enjoy the Photos

Not really sure how I’ve managed to obtain the age of 35 Years old. The last 4 years have been a bit of a blur! But work has rapidly increased over the period. Which I’m super Grateful for, shooting bigger and bigger shows, with insane production has been a dream! Love every minute of travelling and feel honoured to work for my wonderful clients 🙌🏼 Thanks to everyone for your support and kind words, bring on another successful year! 🔥

Great to see my shots of the new Downburst pack from @ospreyeurope out in the wilds! This was a really great shoot, waiting for rain to arrive to put the pack to the test. Fortunately the British weather didn’t disappoint and we ended with a really nice Downpour for the Downburst. . . . @nikoneurope Z9 .

Starting off this year’s festival season with the incredible @sxmfestival I loved every moment of this festival, my body and sleep patterns however….did not! 🤣 testing my abilities to edit while running on fumes is always a challenge but the fruits of labour pay off! Everything is just too good not to shoot, from Luxury Villa Parties to Panoramic Satellite events on top of mountains 🏔️ It’s worth testing yourself! 📷 Thanks to @livbeyond / @julianprincesxmf / @nick_dc3000 for having me back each year. Hope you love this content as much as I loved shooting it! Big up this year’s Team. What a bunch of legends on both sides Photo / Video. I’d love to see your comments on the shots! . . . @nikoneurope Z9 24-70mm / 50mm 1.8F / 20mm 1.8F . . . #sxmfestival #saintmartin #travelphotography #nikon #NikonZ9 #sintmaarten #Mixmag #Tribes #creatives #freelancecreative #phototeams #videoteams #luxuryevents #eventphotography #festivalperformer #festivalphotography #musicphotographer #Dance @tribestv_ @katiehayknight
