This is normally the final big event this year to cover and what a event it was.

Thursday 

Get into hotel I was staying at Moxy hotel what was an amazing stay and had bar and food and also pool really everything i needed. I do wish the bedrooms had proper allocated wardrobe for clothes so got there dead on 3pm chilled for a bit saw a couple of the friends clock in and all that then we just chilled I tried to get but passes early but there was some stupid rule just to put more money into the pockets of excel so I didn't do that. so back to the hotel waiting for one of my mates Ducky and then we went to the pub for pre con drinks and a chill met so many other con mates on the Thursday went back to the hotel and prepared for the weekend.

Friday  
what a day first time cosplaying and shooting as well. It was manic first getting gun check and the Security check breaking both props then having go to security HQ and reporting it all as well as getting passes and then to get the spot where we do photoshoots. such a busy morning it was crazy so once all that happend the magic starts with the ALT Focus team at the ready to produce some epic videos and photos bring it on . it was a cold day sadly the weather was not on my side wind wise but at least it was dry once the event was over it was back to the hotel to chill and get ready for the after party what was a mad one,  Four rows deep and an h r later the first round was in it was crazy not enough staff to run the bar smooth and quickly. It was a late one that day from drinking until 2am and then i got back with also helping someone out that knight so did not get rest until about 5 in the morning maybe later. so a long day.

SATURDAY

After a long knight it was an other cold one but this time the rain wanted to play its part as well what was a nightmare. it was a busy day big time so many people wanting photos and each of us going inside to get different photos of the event.

When the rain cam it was quick bursts of heavy rain what was a nightmare to happen because everyone rushed inside or under the shelter where we was shooting. This day is one of the longest days of the event but it is worth it because we can play with neon's and LED lighting as well when it goes dark what is so fun to get creative. after the day we chilled a bit with the security outside near the green the team is so respectable and chill its amazing and makes our days so fun and easier to work because we know we can go to them and the situation will be sorted or if we need to wait we can. We have a right laugh with them too. so after that day of coldness the time was up and I just wanted to be back at the hotel to chill so me and an other photographer (Articwolfpackphotography) went back to the hotel and had a few beers and some food and had a lovely time chatting about food and photography 

SUNDAY

The last day of MCM comic con this day was fun one most people i met that day was ready to get creative or just chilled in there casuals what was fun as well but it was not too bad of a day less panic than Saturday but we had to get the shots done it was an other cold day i was not too bad but with a bald chin it was cold it was tempting to do some raining but did not do it thank god. so yeah Saturday was a just nice chilled out day nothing major happened this went really quick it was crazy so during the event i got left a hoover by the wonderful Violet  because well she just didnt want to be walking around with it so i did my good deed and said yeah leave it with me i will look after it well it was kicking out time and we still had this hoover so i had to have a laugh with security once again and they put it over the radio two photographers waiting for two ladies to collect a hoover. About 30 mins to an hour went by due to the amount of people in the venue it was a nightmare and really cold i could not fill my feet  sadly i had to cancel two outside shoots because of the rain turning up and the coldness of the weather but had a brilkl time with Luke and Richard after in the Moxy hotel chilling drinking eating and playing pool once again until late then sorted out my gear ready to clock out in the morning.

Over all a long weekend of photos and food and drinking was fun but dam it was a nightmare as well. this is always an expensive one but such a fun one.

I am gradually updating all the photos across the website, It is taking some time but also is fun to see how far I have gone with certain categories of photography its crazy. I am trying to do this all before I go for a little break. Yes I will still be taking my camera to get some wild life and location photos but at the moment the key thing is getting all the cosplay photos uploaded to the website. If you see your photo and do not remember getting the photos please message me on my social but also if you would like a print please message me because I do my own prints as well. Next couple new projects coming soon as well for the fans to see and have so soon I hope to have a store on here to sell actual products like cups and trading cards also calendar. I hope to sort it all out for the new year and bring it on. If you would like to see the new content please got to my portfolio. or click here https://www.ashleygphotography.com/mcm
