I attended the 'Urbex and Frill' event in Stirling Scotland. This was Tabitha's first Scottish event and it was excellent. The location was great and the models perfect for the location with her usual amazing dresses and styling. The event was very well organised and managed. The sessions were tightly managed for time and location and yet there was flexibility and room for improvisation. Lighting was provided in key areas and overall it was a really enjoyable event. Thanks Tabitha and hope to see you again. Highly recommended.

Attended the White Room shoot at the Boardroom yesterday that was arranged by Tabitha, and I would highly recommend her. She is friendly and easy to work with, gave great directions as to what was required by all photographers. Shoot ran like clockwork very organised all where very pleased and got the pictures I was looking for.

I had the pleasure of working with Tabitha for the first time today as a model at her drone shoot.

Tabitha from the get go is polite, has a great sense of humour and is so well prepared. Her pre shoot comms are spot on and that helps me massively :)

She laid out all of the different sets, had organised all of the outfits and finer details, spoke to all of the photographers to ensure that they were happy and was always making sure I was alright and warm enough :D

I have wanted to work with Tabitha for a while now and I am so happy we finally made it happen :)

I hope this is the first shoot of many. I would highly recommend working with Tabitha and coming along to her events (if they haven't already sold out!)

I had the great pleasure of working with Tabitha at her recent Pre-Raphaelite & forest animals themed shoot.

I have admired her work for some time and thus jumped at this opportunity as she was 'only' 3 hours away - wow I was not disappointed.

Good pre-shoot communications, excellent organisation and facilitation on the day and well chosen location, models, outfits. The huge bonus of unusual animals plus two dedicated keepers made for a magical day. As well as photographing them held by two beautiful models, I also got to hold a beautiful Fenix Fox and a playful Meercat, stroked some very tame bunnies and wonderful little Madagascan 'Not a hedgehog' - worth the trip on their own :-)

I had become disillusioned with group shoots of late due to 5 min shooting slots via timers meaning an awful lot of waiting around, then feeling rushed when it is your turn.

Tabitha's shoot was completely different, she set up multiple sets and costume changes which the attendees rotate around to shoot at but there is more than enough time on each set to plan and execute your images with NO waiting around and NO rush.

If you're reading this and considering joining one of her events - just do it - you'll love it - very highly recommended.

I had the good fortune to attend one of Tabitha’s events yesterday - a Pre Raphaelite scenario at Far Forest with lovely models Ivory Flame, Rosie Lea and Silk. Tabitha provided some beautiful sets, props and outfits and her organisational skills were such that the whole occasion flowed seemlessly. I enjoyed it immensely. I look forward to going to future events and would recommend them to all togs!😀

I was part of the incredible workshop at far forest studio which Tabitha set up. She organised it perfectly, with plenty of sets, outfits, props and she also had exotic animals for me and the other models to work with. The pictures so far look amazing!

Tabitha's amazing portfolio speaks for itself! She's an incredibly accomplished photographer and I highly recommend her events - very well organised, once-in-a-lifetime locations and outfits I didn't want to take off. If you attend as a photographer (or model), you are absolutely guaranteed jaw-dropping shots. Already buzzing to model at her event next May :D

I’d been a massive fan of Tabitha’s work for years so I was delighted when she recently booked me for three photography events over a two week period. The first event took place at an amazing period home location, and the second and third were held at a local studio and featured beautiful animals as co-models.

Tabitha is a creative tour de force and it’s hard not to get swept up in the magic she creates with her plastic bags full of Ivy tendrils and tulle. It was such a joy to see everything come together and, honestly, I just felt privileged to be a part of that process.

There also aren’t many jobs where you can wrangle a skunk dressed in a ballgown and feel utterly productive. Needless to say I had the best time!

Tabitha is an amazing host and her workshops are attended by the most diverse and creatively minded characters and it was so much fun meeting and/or catching up with them all.

Photography-wise Tabitha’s portfolio says much more than I ever could but the images she had kindly shared with me are amongst my absolute favourites of my career.

I’d recommend Tabitha to other models without hesitation. To be honest you’d be mad not to jump at the chance! Thanks so much Tabitha ❤️

I attended one of Tabithas organised shoots and couldn't be happier. It was well run, very friendly, great fun, with excellent models and sets. I ended up with some lovely images.

Highly recommended

I had my first shoot with Tabitha and it went really well, just as expected!

The location for the shoot was in Avenham Park in Preston it was such a lovely location to shoot in and with the dresses that Tabitha brought along it worked out amazingly. Tabitha was very professional, organised and easy to work with!

I really enjoyed the shoot and I'm looking forward to seeing the images,Thank you!

Had my third shoot at an event organised by Tabitha today. As with her previous shoots it was extremely well organised and professionally run. The model (Elle Baldwinson) and costumes were perfect for the theme and resulted in some amazing photographs being created. Highly recommended.

Had a second shoot with an event organised by Tabitha - involving two models a stately home and some amazing couture dresses and headpieces. The event was well organised with Chris on lighting set ups and working across the rooms in the building , with three changes of outfits. For adding something classic to your portfolio and the ability to shoot in some amazing locations - this is a must for any photographer. Highly recommended :)

Worked on my first event with Tabitha and finally got to meet her in person yesterday!

What an absolute delight she is to work for. She was always quick in pre-comms, if I had any questions or needed help arranging travel/other admin, she was always there to help me.

On the day, Tabitha was very organised and extremely professional. I got to wear beautiful designer gowns and millinery pieces, everything was a perfect fit - I can see that there is a lot of thoughts gone into the styling because I haven't tried the outfits before the event and Tabitha was working purely off the measurements I've sent her.

Tabitha has a very kind nature and is very welcoming. Saying that, she was also very much in control of the running of the event and made sure all of the photographers in the group got exactly the same amount of shooting time.

I am very happy with how the event went and so looking forward to three more events together that we have lined up for this year!

Sending lots of love ♥

Highly recommend

I've been a long-time admirer of Tabitha's work, and I finally got the chance to work with them!

The event was simply amazing, the array of skill and talent put forth by everyone involved was breathtaking. Tabitha, themself is a lovely person, easy to work with, and fabulous to be around.

I'd be delighted to work with them again!

Attended a photo shoot arranged by Tabitha. Yet again a fantastic set, great location, excellent props and dresses together with a beautiful model.

Very highly recommended a great afternoon and very happy with the results.

Hope to attend the next very soon.

It was my second shoot with Tabitha last week. She picked me up from train station. We’ve been working at beautiful Parktannas Retro Yard. She’s a great photographer and very nice person. I’m looking forward to shoot with her again in future :)

This was my first Tabitha Boydell event and I was impressed to the extent where I'm now booked on another next year (no better accolade than that IMO). For the duration, all four photographers had 121 shoot slots with several beautiful gowns which gave sufficient time to secure some stunning images. Help was on hand for lighting and the venue was superb. Altogether a very enjoyable event - thanks Tabitha and co...:-) :-)

This was my first ever Tabitha event and one I have been dreaming of fro the longest time! I really admire Tabitha's photography as well as her amazing styling and eye for detail, so obviously when she set up an event "down south" I jumped at the opportunity. I am sooooo pleased I did. The morning was so well organised, with the studio all set up, the models ready and styled to perfection and the lighting all pre-arranged! All I had to do was rock up and enjoy! Really this event was amazing and I have already booked myself on another 2 for next year. If you love editorial, beautifully styled events then Tabitha's events are the ones for you! 1 million % recommend.

Saffie

What can I say but wow! What a fantastic event Tabitha organised. I was blown away by the professionalism and attention to detail that she applied through her planning comms and in the studio on the day. Outfits were well chosen, attendees were well briefed and she kept everyone moving to time.

I was so delighted to have been involved in this and the images the attendees have shared have been stunning, as have Tabithas own ones.

If you get the opportunity to take part in one of her workshops or just to shoot with her I'd highly recommend you grab the chance.
