Mike Weeks photographed his first event in 1981, long before the term 'Event Photography' was even coined. In 2006 Mike set up his own successful business in Event Photography that he still manages to this very day.
Early on, Mike identified the ever increasing demand for the trade to gain professional recognition and subsequently founded the EPS (Event Photographer Society). Today, under Mike’s guardianship, the EPS has developed a strong platform in the industry with a vast base of members.
Mike is also a qualified member of the BIPP and lectures on a number of topics including Event Photography, Information Technology and Web Development.

Paul Rogers may be the newest member of our team of Eventrepreneurs but his fresh and unique approach to Executive Social Event Photography, or what he calls "Phototainment", is probably also the most talked about.
Taking his approach a step further, Paul one day decided to break the mould of traditional flat, high key style event lighting and developed his own dramatic lighting style in what is known in the industry today as "Pellier Noir".
Paul has photographed some of the most glamorous Charity Balls and Gala Dinners in the UK. Venues include Old Trafford, home of Manchester United FC, Hilton Park Lane, The Dorchester, The Waldorf Hotel, The Grosvenor House and many more.
