Step into a Fairy Tale: Photographing a Magical Birthday Party at The Bowdon Rooms
If you thought fairy tales were just for books, think again. We recently had the absolute joy of photographing a magical, fairy-themed 5th birthday party at The Bowdon Rooms in Cheshire for the incredible team at Serendipity Events—and yes, there was a real-life fairy. Wings, glitter, enchanted swing, toadstools, the whole lot.
As a party photographer in Manchester, we’re often behind the scenes capturing all kinds of events, but this one was straight out of a storybook. Think woodland wonderland meets Pinterest board perfection. Every inch of the room was transformed with fairy trees, bespoke signage, and branding that would make Tinker Bell jealous.
But this wasn’t just about cute kids and sparkly wings (though, let’s be honest, there was a lot of that). We were brought in by Serendipity Events not only to photograph the party but to create a social media reel that they could use to promote their styling work. And this is where things get exciting—for any creatives reading this.
Why Event Photography (and Reels!) Matter
For event stylists, planners, florists, or anyone in the creative industry, showing off your work is half the job. You can style the most incredible space, but if the lighting’s bad or there’s no photo to prove it, how will anyone know? That’s where we come in.
Hiring a professional party photographer in Manchester (hi, it’s us) means your hard work gets captured in its best light, literally. And with Instagram, TikTok, and all the other scrolling apps out there, having a well-crafted reel can be just as valuable as a full gallery of images. We made sure Serendipity had both. In less than 60 seconds, their audience got a peek into the full fairy fantasy, and their brand got a boost of magic.
At ER Event PhotographyParty Photographer Manchester, we believe the story doesn’t stop once the party starts. It lives on in the photos, the videos, the reel that gets shared a hundred times. Whether you’re a creative looking to show off your latest masterpiece or a parent planning a one-of-a-kind birthday bash, having the right photographer makes all the difference.
