Vinopolis, Southwark – photographers’ meetup

Cam and Pen McKinley-Rodgers and Marianne Taylor - Southwark Vinopolis Meetup

At the end of August, talented London-based photographer Kirsten Mavric (www.kirstenmavric.co.uk) organised a get together of photographer friends. Thirty-four super talented photographers from around the UK descended upon the Cantina Vinopolis for a fab evening of great food, wine and the very best of company! Nearing the close of a busy summer season, going to London to catch up with friends old and new was more than worth the trip from Bristol. I’m soooo behind with the rest of my blogging but here’s a few snaps from our night out.

Big thanks due to Kirsten for organising the get together. A great job well done!
