Last night marked our very first event of 2026, and what a fantastic way to begin the year. Simon Coates Photography was delighted to be back at the wonderful Stratford Manor Hotel to photograph the Harmony & Unity Lodge’s Ladies Festival. It’s a venue we always enjoy working at, and it provided the perfect backdrop for an evening full of celebration, elegance, and great company.
For this event, we also brought along our mobile photographic studio, which proved to be a popular addition. Guests were able to step into the studio for professional portraits, adding a fun and memorable experience to the evening.
Alongside the studio, we were offering on-site prints, allowing guests to take home a high-quality photograph on the night itself. It’s always rewarding to see people enjoy their images immediately, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. A huge thank you to the Harmony & Unity Lodge for inviting us to be part of such a lovely event, and to the team at Stratford Manor Hotel for, as always, being so welcoming. We’re very much looking forward to what the rest of 2026 has in store.
