Speakers:
Visionaries-UK have brought together two fabulous and dynamic speakers with a combined 50 years of experience in professional photography.
Keith Thompson FBIPP
Based in Reading - has won literally hundreds of awards nationally and internationally including 13 “Photographer of the Year” titles over the last 20 years. – So what – what does this mean to his clients.
It means that he has evolved over the years surviving recession’s etc. to be still growing in 2008 and beyond. All of this and more being made possible by a dedicated family team behind him, his wife Debbie, Lynsey and Jamie.
As well as being probably the most “decorated” photographer working in the UK today, he is also highly regarded as a lecturer and judge of photography. But with all of this fame Keith will tell you “it’s not the number of awards you win that matter’s, its how much your most recent clients love the images you have created for them”.
Keith will show how a real working photographer works in today’s climate with a support team behind him from capture to creation.
He will also explain that it is easier to look after his existing clients than forever trying to find a source of new ones and by exceeding clients expectations.

Based in Bicester Oxfordshire – sees the world in vibrant colour, he has developed an incredibly unique style that showcases the beauty of the bride, the magnificence of her surroundings and the love she shares with her groom. Stuart is one of the leading wedding photographers in the UK and has been dedicated to capturing stunning photographic images for over 20 years. 2008 started with a bang with Stuart winning Contemporary Wedding Photographer of the Year and also UK Wedding Photographer of the Year at the SWPP annual awards ceremony in London. These awards were added to an already stunning array of awards won over many years.
His stylish contemporary photography reflects today’s lifestyle, he is known for his warm spirit and keen eye for detail.
One thing that helps to set Stuart apart is the rapport he is able to build with not only the bride and groom but also the family and friends of the couple.
