Guests arrived in black tie at the magnificent No.4 Hamilton Place, London at 7 pm for fizz before the ceremony began. Throughout the night, we had Oxfordshire based photographer Zaki Charles taking some great images. Once the all-important results were delivered and awards distributed, the guests went on to the afterparty where Visually Sound Events, The Blue Lion Band, Freezeframe Photobooths and Lost Vegas Casino Hire provided the crowd with music and entertainment before carriages arrived.
