As a Surrey Event Photographer I was delighted to be invited to document Bella’s 8th Birthday, it being the third of her birthdays that I’ve photographed. Her Mum and Dad throw the most wonderful parties for their girls – previous parties had Swan Lake Ballet and Barbie Princess themes – and it’s always a pleasure to be there to capture the special day for them.
On this occasion her Mum and Dad had arranged a party at the cinema to see the classic 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz“. I don’t think any of the attendees had seen the film before so it was a fantastic treat for Bella, her sister Chloe and her friends.
For her birthday present Bella was gifted a gorgeous Oval Locket Pendant from Tiffany & Co engraved with her initial which she proudly showed me whilst we were taking some relaxed portraits of the birthday girl on the steps leading up to the cinema’s circle viewing gallery.
Whilst awaiting the curtain to go up the party attendees made the most of their activity packs, enjoyed several party games and then joined the delighted Bella in a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday”. Bella made a wish as she blew out the candles on her Barbie Princess birthday cake – handmade by Mum – and it was on with the show. I left just as mean old Miss Gulch (the Wicked Witch of the West) appeared on her bike on her way to demand Dorothy hand over Toto. I went to see the stage version of the Wizard of Oz put on by St Ives Kidz R Us over the summer – I am sure Bella and her party would have loved the stage show as much as the film.
The party was held at Everyman Oxted, a quaint little cinema in Surrey just along from Oxted train station which caters for private hire events from children’s parties to corporate events.
