I was approached by Jill’s brother to be the event photographer for Jill’s 16th birthday party. He gave me the brief and I knew the location but really didn’t expect to see what I saw.  I arrived at Akamba, (http://www.akamba.co.uk/) the is garden centre specialising in exotic plants and  as I pulled up in the car park I was amazed at how this place was just like entering Africa and is literately on my own doorstep!  As dusk drew the place transformed  with dramatic lighting (from: http://www.jojopro.com/)

Jill made her Super Sweet 16th entrance like an African Princess in a bespoke African inspired costume and carried in by  her very own tribesmen…The party had begun!

Later in the night special guest DJ Andy Bell of Puro (http://tinyurl.com/lpmnc8) played a set which really rocked the dance floor ensuring that everyone got moving. Dancing, food, drink and more dancing made a Jill’s 16th Birthday at Akamba a really great, memorable night for all who attended!

Jill said about the photos: “They all look mint! Really chuffed with them!”
