On Monday, I attended Wokefield Park Hotel in Reading to photograph the DLA Piper Intake. 130 new solicitors were taken on by DLA Piper, with a wide range of nationalities present, and the atmosphere was superb.
I started with a group shot of the new intake alongside the company executives; and even with the large number of people, this ran smoothly and was kept to a very small timescale. I guessed from the cheer at the end of the shot they thought this was going to take longer. I like to keep group shots timescales down to a minimum – keeps people from getting restless!
After that I stayed around to photograph the evening’s festivities, including drinks and a barbecue. I was blessed with beautiful light and a stunning sunset to use as my backdrop. I have attached some of the pictures below:

The images are stunning, and I really enjoyed my trip to Reading. The Wokefield Park Hotel would be an absolutely fantastic venue for a wedding; with building and grounds looking extremely impressive, and the staff providing an admirably professional service. Finally, a quick thank you to Richard Stainthorpe from DLA Piper who made my job easy by providing me all the information I required. I hope to work with you again in the future.
