From October 2015 Paul has been in fortunate to conduct several photoshoots for Andrew. This continues up to the present day. Starting with some interior and exterior photography of the famous Nutters restaurant for marketing and website use. Paul has photographed Nutter’s Restaurant birthday celebrations, special occasions and the the opening of the Bird at Birtle.
The following covers several differing types of shoots Paul has done for Andrew.
“I’m absolutely delighted with the photography from Paul and his team at Think. He not only provides us with some fantastic ideas and inspiration, but always gets to the heart of what our customers really need.”
It was an amazing autumnal day. Beautiful blue skies, low sunlight and stunning oranges and yellows adoring the trees. It made for a magical morning. Photography was for the outside of the former stately home and world war one hospital. The venue itself is stunning, both inside and out it is no surprise that it’s a popular wedding venue as well as restaurant.
Capturing various aspects of the venue inside and out, making use of the natural light streaming in, to portray it exactly how guests experience it.
The team at Nutter’s Restaurant take the birthday celebrations seriously and in this case, the first one since Rodney, his father passed away. The brief was to capture arriving guests enjoying their aperitifs. A star studded event with a musical theme a slight bonus was Paul was seated to eat at.
Andrew’s guest table – alongside Aiden Byrne of The Church Green in Lymm fame as well as a few of his close friends. After the meal, Paul was asked to photograph their guests having some fun with musical props fin front of a huge back lit background for press and social media purposes.
Paul was delighted when Andrew, enjoying his status as Rochdale Man of the Year and all round Mr Nice asked if he could help photograph the opening night of his new Lancashire gastropub, The Bird at Birtle for press and PR purposes. Located down the road from Nutter’s Restaurant, the pub was packed to the rafters with 150 guests.
Andrew was handed the keys to the dilapidated Bird i’ th’ Hand pub on Rochdale Road, by his Mum and Dad for Christmas in 2014. Since then it has seen an incredible £1million restoration project. Designed by his dad Rodney Nutter with the construction carried out by H Bells and Sons in Rochdale, The Bird has been transformed into an architecturally beautiful venue, serving stunning local fayre with gorgeous views over Ashworth Moor.
There are three collections of crown jewels. The real ones in London, and two officially sanctioned replicas. To celebrate the Queens Sapphire Jubilee Andrew and his team curated a ‘state dinner’ for a select number of guests. Between courses, local jeweller Peter Jackson educated the guests with some history around each piece.
Part of a wider project for the restaurant, Paul’s other business, Think, was commissioned to produce a new wedding brochure for marketing purposes. The brief was to take some new images of the restaurant and wedding venue for the brochure. But there was also a need to show a wedding. The team at Nutter’s sourced a model who looked stunning in a wedding dress, alongside Nutter’s long serving Dave as the groom.
Another project for Think brought a new website for the Bird. What was apparent was the lack of good food photography.
Setting up a temporary studio in the upstairs, Paul and his team from Think art directed and photographed a selected of freshly made dishes and cocktails for the new website.
