Thank you to Sasha Frieze for booking me as the conference photographer at Association of Association Executives (AAE)'s UK Congress 2025 at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool. It was a well-organised event with a strong programme and an engaged audience, which always makes for productive and effective conference photography.
I really enjoyed the keynote speech about how to support strategic thinking and create transformational events for all organisations. For more information check Sasha's book - The Chief Event Officer's Playbook: How to create transformational events - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1788606914
I appreciate the opportunity to work with you and Damian Hutt and look forward to collaborating again in the future.

If you are planning an event in 2026, a conference or awards ceremony, please message for availability and how I can assist in your visual story-telling. I have 20 years' experience and am happy to chat, even if you have someone already sorted for the photography. I know the best venues in Liverpool and Manchester and can give you some insiders information. I also have some excellent videographer connections to pass on.

Heading down the M62 at dawn again for another couple of super busy days (and one late evening) with a repeat conference photography client.
There are worse places to photograph a corporate event than a brand-new stadium on the Liverpool waterfront. Read about a day capturing team building and networking at the Hill Dickinson.
