Simon Coates Photography

Simon Coates Photography Specialist Event Photographers We are a specialist event photography company, providing high-quality, high-value photographic products in an instant.

Whether you are hosting a black-tie ball, charity gala dinner, school prom or party, we can add fun and excitement to your event. By using our state of the art mobile digital studio, we can produce studio-quality photographs in virtually any location. Images can be viewed on-screen prior to being processed in our lab-quality processor with prints up to 12"x8" being printed in a matter of seconds. We don't just cover fancy events- we cover all manner of sporting events too. We have a lot of experience in covering the many different aspects of equestrian photography, from dressage, through show jumping and eventing to showing. We have recently branched out into dog agility shows too, where we combine our studio approach with our sporting action. This means we will set up a small studio so that we can produce really top-notch portraits of your dogs whilst you wait to enter the ring. Based in Rugby in Warwickshire, we are ideally located to cover Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire as well as further afield. Additionally, we are delighted to be the official photographers to Little Rissington Kart Club.

The photos from today's show jumping at Weston Lawns Equestrian are being uploaded to www.simoncoatesphotography.co.uk but we have intermittent internet issues, so it may take a while.

In the meantime, here are the facebook freebies.

It is a beautiful day at Weston Lawns Equestrian for the unaffiliated show jumping. The big yellow bus is open for business beside the collecting ring. Good luck to all competitors.

🏁 And that’s a wrap on the summer season at Weston Lawns!🏁

The final day of the August Bank Holiday Bonanza is done and dusted, and somehow the weather was kind to us again! ☀️🌦️ Only a few unfortunate souls got properly rained on… which, for a British Bank Holiday, feels like something of a win. 😂

It’s been a huge four days. Across the weekend, an incredible 979 combinations took to the arenas, while two increasingly tired photographers managed to take around 27,000 photos! 📸😴

A massive thank you to everyone who popped into the big yellow bus, bought photos from us at the show or ordered through the website. And thank you especially for all the lovely comments about the pictures. We really do appreciate them — they genuinely mean the world to us. ❤️

Congratulations to all the winners and a huge well done to absolutely everyone who took part.

We should also say a big thank you to Kevin and Anish for keeping the courses coming, along with the judges, commentators and arena party who kept everything running through sunshine, wind and the occasional downpour. 👏

All of the photos from the show are now available at (http://www.simoncoatesphotography.co.uk), and below are the final Facebook Freebies of the summer season.

It’s been another fantastic summer at Weston Lawns.

See you all next season! 👋🐴📸

P.S. Is it too early to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year?

It is the final day of meteorological summer and the final day of the Weston Lawns Equestrian August Bank Holiday Bonanza. The Big Yellow Bus is open and the sun is shining! What more could you want?

We survived day 3 of the Weston Lawns Equestrian August Bank Holiday show without being drowned, although it looked very threatening towards the end of the day.

The photos are being uploaded to www.simoncoatesphotography.co.uk right now (or they've been done for ages, depending on when you read this!)

Here are today's Facebook Freebies.

We made it through the rain! It was certainly quite miserable but at least the rain was warm!

The photos from the second day of the Weston Lawns Equestrian August Bank Holiday Bonanza are uploading now to www.simoncoatesphotography.co.uk and here are today's Facebook Freebies.

The first day of the Weston Lawns Equestrian August Bank Holiday Bonanza started off well enough weather-wise, but by the middle of the afternoon, things had certainly changed. As Queen famously put it: “Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening!” And boy, did it rain!

Hats off to every rider who competed in such awful conditions, and a huge thank-you to the incredible arena party, who stayed out there through it all, picking up knocked poles and keeping the competition moving. It was a truly heroic effort in some thoroughly miserable weather.

Today's photos are currently uploading to www.simoncoatesphotography.co.uk and here are today's Facebook Freebies

It is day one of the Weston Lawns Equestrian August Bank Holiday Bonanza. The big yellow bus is setup and ready for what looks like a busy day. Alison is photographing in the Weston Arena and Simon is covering the John Wells. Fingers crossed it stays dry!
