An Evening at Greyfriars Hall: Female Founders Growth Summit
The Female Founders Growth Summit opened in style with an intimate evening event at Greyfriars Hall, one of Edinburgh’s most striking venues. I was delighted to be there as the event photographer, capturing a conversation between violinist Nicola Benedetti and tennis coach and mentor Judy Murray.
It was a privilege to listen as they shared their experiences across art, sport and entrepreneurship. Both spoke candidly about leadership, resilience and creativity, weaving together stories that resonated deeply with the founders, investors and business leaders in the audience. Photographing these moments – the laughter, the thoughtful pauses, the connection between speakers and guests – was a reminder of why I love event photography.
As an event photographer in Edinburgh, I know how important it is for conferences and corporate gatherings to have strong visual coverage. Photographs don’t just document who was in the room – they capture the energy of the evening, the atmosphere of the venue and the moments that make an event memorable. Whether it’s an international summit or a local networking event, those images play a vital role in showcasing your brand, sharing your story and keeping the conversation alive long after the lights go down.
Greyfriars Hall provided a stunning backdrop, with its historic architecture and warm ambience setting the tone for the summit ahead. My focus was on blending into the background, ensuring guests could enjoy the evening while I documented it authentically – from the anticipation as people arrived to the rich discussion on stage.
Huge thanks go to the brilliant organising team at Pathways Forward for creating such an inspiring start to the summit. It’s always a pleasure working with you and being part of an event that celebrates female leadership and entrepreneurship in Scotland.
If you’re planning a conference or corporate event in Edinburgh and are looking for photography that captures not just what it looked like, but what it felt like to be there, I’d love to hear from you.
