Cateys Awards – Awards ceremonies at Grosvenor House, London

I have lost track of how many awards ceremonies I have photographed at Grosvenor House over the years. Grosvenor House is an enormous venue and it can host up 1000+ guests, I normally start the evening by photographing the interiors and exteriors then onto the details (table layout and client branding). This is great for future uses for the clients. 

Once that is done I get ready for the arrival of the evening guests! Normally there is a short space of time before everyone is seated so i have to work hard to do a good range of posed and natural shots of everyone having a good time. The atmosphere is very loud but everyone is always ready to have to fun and ready to have a good time. 

Three women are joyfully interacting at a social event captured by an awards photographer. One wears a leopard print dress, another dons a pink satin outfit holding a glass of champagne, and the third sports a light-colored suit. They revel in the lively atmosphere with its dimly lit, elegant ambiance.

Then in a blink in a eye everyone starts their way down the stairs to find their seat for the evening. I do my best to keep out of the hotel staff as they rush round serving everyone their three courses. During the quieter moments in-between the courses i always photograph everyone having a great time and having a good catch up with new and old friends. 

Once the deserts and coffee are served then onto the awards! Throughout the awards cermonory i would do all the winner group shots on the stage and also the evening host presentations
