Superbly organised and well run event at Retreat in Gloucestershire. A vast well equipped space, 2 superb models,Saffron & Ashleigh, 2 very well behaved horses and a dog that loved the camera. All in a great afternoon to get creative.

If you get the chance to get involved with a 'Tabitha' event I highly recommend you get your name down quickly.

100% recommended.

Yesterday I took part in Tabitha's 'Great Hall Stately Home Shoot - 3 models, Ballgowns, headpieces, opulence' near Exeter, Devon. Wow! Brillant Event. Three VERY good Models (Amie Boulton, Jade Lyon, & Saffron Whyton), six very posh and eyecatching ballgowns, combined with five rooms in the Stately Home.

How does Tabitha do it? I don't know apart from a lot of hard work and detailed planning. As a photographer, the day was a total success as far as I am concerned and I hope she organizes an event near me again as I will definitely want to book on another of Tabitha's extravanganzas.

"Mrs Boydell creates exceedingly good events". If one comes up within your travelling range, go for it!!

Fantastic event in Devon, 3 superb models in a stately home, dresses dramatic and opulent, styling brilliant, location great. Well organised and such fun. I had a superb time and will certainly do one of Tabitha’s events in the future

This was my 4th shoot which was either partially or fully styled by Tabitha. Her events are always well run and relatively small in number which means that photographers get a reasonable amount of shooting time with the model. Tabitha provides the model, the frocks and accessories and the venue and makes suggestions about how to shoot but ultimately leaves us to decide when and where the decisive moment is. I'm sure I will return to another event and I'm happy to recommend.

Sensual Art

I could copy and paste any of the previous references, with just minor changes. Suffice to say Tabitha runs the group events immaculately well, with stunning locations and dresses shown off to maximum effect with expert models who know how to deliver results, but Tabitha then makes sure that each photographer gets uninterrupted time with the model so we get maximum value.

I'm looking forward to coming to future events!

Tabitha invented me to help our with an event she was running in London. Of course I said yes!

Tabitha's events are well known for the aesthetic - amazing styling, models & location.

What's not often mentioned is the way she balances professionalism and attendance to detail with a calm, fun, non-nonsense approach. Relaxed perfection personified!

I attended the "Tulle and textures" themed event organised by Tabitha and it was a real pleasure. Tabitha was welcoming and attentive, the costumes and set design excellent, and the group size was small.

Highly recommended.

I attended my first Photoshoot event organised and ran by Tabitha and it was amazing. She had chosen a great location, model and dresses so that all 3 elements came together in a spectacular fashion.

Tabitha remained on hand to offer help posing and guiding us with what worked well against what textures and background. She was also made use of reflector when required to help light the model.

Whilst not needed she ensured that we all had equal time to get our pictures. I would 100% recommend any future events Tabitha organises. She knows her stuff and I am so happy to have these shots in my portfolio.

Fourth shoot with Tabitha's team, this time with NCG Model at the derelict St.John's Church in Chester. Excellent pre-shoot communications, great professional organization but with a laid-back feel, everything running on time. Great outfits by Tabitha, great posing from Natalie, and dare I say, good shooting by myself to get a great set of images ! Highly recommended !!

Third shoot with Tabitha's team, this time with NCG Model at Abbeywood Gardens in Cheshire. Excellent pre-shoot communications, great professional organization but with a laid-back feel, everything running on time.

Had our first photoshoot event with Tabitha @ Whalley Abbey on Sunday, 18th April - have always with interest viewed the events that Tabitha puts together and decided to attend one. We were not disappointed; she is maticulous in her planning and her dresses and props are amazing. She is very creative and a pleasure to work with; the models she chooses for her events are wonderful.

The photoshoot itself was friendly and relaxed and our 3 hour shoot covered 4 costume changes for Gwyneth (model); each so very unique.

Will certainly book another one. Thank you Tabitha for a great shoot.

Had a wonderful morning at Whalley Abbey on a shoot arranged by Tabitha Boydell. Safe and covid secure. Relaxed and extremely well organised. A wide array of incredible fantasy costumes. Imaginatively stylised. Our model for the day was Gwyneth. Had a great time. Would very much recommend booking one of Tabitha's amazing shoots.

My first photoshoot event with Tabitha at Whalley Abbey on Sunday, I have always admired the events that Tabitha puts together and decided to attend one. Gwyneth was a stunning and fantastic model, the outfits and locations are epic! I look forward to my next event. Highly recommended.

A Shot in the Dark

Just wow!

I attended one of Tabitha's days recently and I was blown away by the level of thought and effort put in!

The day is so much more than 'pretty dresses', though man those dresses are gorgeous! You can tell Tabitha spends a lot of time researching locations and choosing the right model for the day. She doesn't just bring whatever dress is handy to a shoot, each dress is planned to match areas of the location, then props are often included to compliment those looks. So much thought goes into these days and Tabitha herself is always on hand to watch for stray hairs and arrange skirts, making sure you get the best shots you can! It's WELL worth your money!

It was such a friendly, relaxed day and I'd love to attend more!

I recently attended one of Tabithas events and it was really enjoyable. Tabitha is very professional and made sure that everyone has lots of time to shoot and she was permanently on hand to adjust the styling while the photographers concentrate on getting their shot. Everything was very well organised with fabulous outfits and a great model. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend one of the shoot days. Tabitha obviously puts in lots of hard work to pull these days off and the locations are always interesting. From castles to car yards. A really good day out.

Tabitha organised a shoot featuring model Amy Lishman at the Japanese Terraced Gardens in Rivington, Lancashire. Pre-shoot comms were very good, including directions to the remote location. Shoot with three different costumes, in folly battlements, grottos and lakeside. Medieval costumes, superb locations, with aerosol smokes gave a medieval Arthurian feel to the shoot. Very well organised and orchestrated, highly enjoyable shoot. Would recommend extremely highly, in fact have since booked two similar shoots, one in Preston and one in Chester and looking forward to both once Covid regulations so allow. Thanx Tabitha and Amy !

I've always admired Tabitha's work and so was pleased to attend one of her events.

Tabitha setup a great number of sets at a variety of locations, providing an excellent model and wonderful ballgowns and headdresses to suit. She gave us plenty of time to shoot at each set, and I had a really enjoyable and one of the most productive days I think I've ever had.

I'm using to sourcing my own models, props and locations, so it was a real pleasure to just turn up and shoot.

Highly recommended, and I look forward to attending some of her future events. Thanks Tabitha and Amy.

I have worked with the amazing Tabitha numerous times, though this was my first ever time working as a model at an event. I have to say it went like clockwork, Tabitha’s attention to detail and forward thinking provided a smooth and joyful day for everyone involved.

I had so much fun and was really happy with the results from the day, I hope everyone else was too! Also how could I not mention the absolutely knock out outfits she puts together. Literally some of my favourite to date. I would wholeheartedly recommend going on one of her events you’ll get great images and most of all have great fun! :)

Thank you so much x

I've seen Tabitha's events a few times on PP and finally got to attend one at Rivington which is an amazing place to shoot. Due to an unfortunate circumstances where the model booked was in isolation in Spain, Tabitha arranged to get another model that she had previously worked with and she totally delivered. The model was first class and suited the gorgeous dresses Tabitha brought along to the shoot. If you haven't been on one of these shoots you really must as I got some stunning images in a fantastic setting. I look forward to going on another event in the near future.
