16th Nov 2024: Art Deco shoot: Group shoot with three models and 12 photographers in an Art Deco style library. Fantastic shoot, excellent outfits for the models, very well organised shooting schedule with all timings followed. All models posed very well with no direction but were willing to accept direction when it was suggested. Achieved some excellent shots (IMO) and have no hesitation in HIGHLY RECOMMENDING. Thanx to all involved !!

I have the pleasure in attending Tabitha's Vogue Styled event yesterday.

The amount of work she puts in in terms of finding amazing venues, top draw models and let's not mention the styling is second to none. Not forgetting to mention her lighting team who worked tirelessly running about ensuring lighting sets up where well balanced and batteries in plentiful supply.

Amazing images from amazing models!

Thankyou Tabitha for your hard work

The day ran like clockwork.

Just a quick shout out for another of Tabitha's brilliant events, this time at a Medieval House. An excellent venue, superbly organised with well-chosen models and costumes. And we even got provided with lunch!

Not my first and definitely not my last of Tabitha's events. Thank you!

Tabitha Boydell, the stylist and event manager who curated a fabulous vintage usherette costume for me during the photography workshop at Lancaster Grand Theatre, is truly exceptional in her craft. Tabitha's attention to detail and creativity in styling truly made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend Tabitha for any styling or event management needs; her ability to bring concepts to life is truly impressive.

Giles House Dorset. 15 photographers v 5 models

Well organized with plenty of models and ballgowns. Nice balance use of flash lighting sets and the chance to use natural daylight as an alternative. Tabitha on hand to assist with any technical issues and help to those who needed it.

Splendid location, a real photographers delight, not too cluttered, bit distressed in places giving a great feel to the images. Variety and styles of image to keep finding something new to shoot.

Good selection of models, all great make-up and attire and knowing what they were doing.

Defiantly one to return to

Spent the last 2 days at Tabithas events, first one at fairground in Scarborough, wonderful location, top notch models and great costumes. Second shoot at Thirsk Hall, again gorgeous models and dresses and unique locations.

Everything over the 2 days was meticulously organised and it all ran smoothly, super images were captured and new friendships forged. A thoroughly enjoyable couple of days.

I attended my first event with Tabitha at Tabley House which was a superb location. Tabitha had the event very well organised and styled to perfection.

She had organised the event as a hands on demo of some Rotolight which made the event doubly interesting for me being my first. Not entirely my style of shoot but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be giving it another go soon.

The groups were small enough to afford good 1-2-1 shooting time with the 2 models who were in attendance. Both the models looked terrific and modelled extremely professionally for us.

I'm now looking forward to my next event already booked with Tabitha which takes place in Thirsk with 4 superb models. Even if this style of shoot isn't your thing you should give it a try, like me you may be surprised at just how enjoyable it is.

I can highly recommend Tabitha's events. Thank you Tabitha and already looking forward to April's outing.

Had an awesome shoot today at Tabitha's event.

Extremely professional, polite, was kind and considerate throughout and gave great direction.

We did have an unfortunate event that happened at today's shoot which could not be helped but Tabitha handled it super professionally and came to a quick resolution that was smooth and effective.

10/10 recommend and will definitely be booking again.

Thank you so much for hosting today's event. I loved every second of it!

I attended a super event yesterday at Asylum Chapel in Peckham, everything was well organised, lovely models, exquisite gowns and amazing props and sets. Everything ran smoothly and I captured many great images. I would recommend Tabitha’s events, very cost effective because everything is provided and is the highest quality

I have attended many photographic group shoots before and none as well organised as this. I have never felt like an individual in a group shoot but the way Tabitha runs hers they are well controlled only one of the photographers in the group shoot at a time and we all had timed slots with the models.

Pre coms were amazing and very accurate, especially great value for money and fantastic choice of dancers picked for todays shoot.

A massive thank you for a fantastic day.

Another of Tabitha's events - "Dance Magic" at Woodchester Mansion. As ever, well planned, organised, communicated and run on the day. Thank you, Tabitha.

Definitely recommended!

This was my second event run by Tabitha and as the location was one that I had visited before it was good to return and photograph dancers there!

We had some excellent dancers for the day and all credit to them for their hard work over what was a long day.

The time seems to run away but at the end it was great to come away with a variety of images with fantastic backgrounds.

Thank you Tabitha for organising the event and I would thoroughly recommend her events to others.

I was so so lucky to be a model on a fantastic event organized by Tabitha! She creates really amazing photographic experience with so much of passion and creativity! She was thinking about everything: fantastic dresses, accessories, amazing location, light, background! All atmosphere is magical and she tries her best to make everything perfect. After all preparations she helps photographers along all the shoot and keeps watching if everyone are happy and if anyone needs some help. Working with her is so easy and she is very lovely and kind person🥰 I highly recommend to visit her event, cause it s very unique and magical experience, that will add to you portfolio a lot of amazing photos and will give you a lot of beautiful memories. Thank you for giving me opportunity to be a part of it🥰

I have attended 3 of Tabithas events and they are AMAZING, superb unique locations, excellent organisation and wonderfully styled models. The cost is reasonable for what I achieved, plenty of shooting time and a supportive environment. They are so good I have booked a ballet one in November and also one in 2024.

So grateful to work as hair/makeup artist at another of Tabitha's amazing events. These events are always in beautiful locations, with models and styling to the highest standard. If you see an event advertised book on quickly to avoid missing out!

Thank you again Tabitha, absolutely love working with you!

I just attended my first event organized by Tabitha. It was a ballet themed shoot in the Guildhall in Worcester. There were 2 male and 4 female models. It was excellently organised. The models were marvellous. The costumes were great. The lighting was great. She had lots of others assisting. It was very well run. I enjoyed it greatly and I love the results. I expect to attend more of her events in the future.

Just back from Tabitha's event at the Asylum Chapel in London, and feeling pleased. These ever are always a compromise between number of looks, how long you get to shoot each one and cost. You can have lots of looks and plenty of time but the cost will be silly. You can make it cheap and then there will be fewer looks and less time to shoot etc. I think Tabitha found the sweet spot for this one, with three models each doing two different looks - six in all, preconfigured lighting and each photographer shooting for about 50% of the the time. The venue was a good choice, with nice touches from Tabitha to make sets; she booked three 1st class models who were given super things to wear. One of the flash triggers decided to be awkward - it would be me who got that one - and at some events any problem would mean someone missed out, but on this one there was enough contingency in the timing that I was still able to shoot what I wanted. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, from what I could tell other photographers were as happy as I was. So most expectations met, and the others exceeded. I expect to go to more of Tabitha's events after this one.

It was a pleasure to attend my first photoshoot with Tabitha Boydell at the Asylum Chapel in South London. I've been aware of Tabitha's work for a long while, and looking forward to attending one of her workshops. I was not disappointed.

Comms prior to the shoot were excellent. Everything was well-organised on the day, and Tabitha had put together a great location, excellent models, and a wonderfully creative team. The atmosphere was relaxed, everyone was very supportive of each other and there was plenty of scope to adapt setups as required.

I was delighted with my images from the event. I'm already looking forward to my next photoshoot with Tabitha.

I attended a floral fancy event at an impressively grand stately home in Wolverhampton with stunning models Xenia and Simone Stocks wearing fabulous and opulent haute couture dresses, organised and designed by Tabitha and it was absolutely exquisite to photograph.

The event was run very well and the schedule ran on time without any hitches or delays. Tabitha's styling and knowledge in this area is of a very high standard indeed and the photos that we created are just simply stunning and definately magazine-worthy! Highly recommended!

Oh what a weekend!

This was the first event our studio has held under the direction and organisation of Tabitha Boydell.

It's taken 4 months of preparation and forward planning, communication throughout that time has been perfect and nothing was left to misinterpretation.

On the start of the weekend Tabitha came to the studio with clear direction and vision of what she wanted to achieve, and got right on with arranging her set pieces. Tabithas time keeping and programme for the weekend was perfect and when our valley threw a curve ball with bad weather she took it in her stride and adapted like a professional.

Tabitha is more than welcome to return, and we look forward to seeing all of the photographers hard work!
