A 75th Birthday Party With an ABBA Tribute Band

Earlier this summer I photographed a 75th birthday party with an ABBA tribute band as the evening's entertainment. It was a lively one from start to finish, and a good example of how much a band can shape the photos you end up with.

My coverage started as guests arrived, which is when most of the relaxed, natural photos happen. People are greeting each other, catching up with family they haven't seen in a while and settling in, and I keep things unobtrusive so nobody feels they're being posed.
