Brand photo-shoot in Nottinghamshire - events manager - Harriet Grace, Accept Management

Meet Harriet – events manager extraordinaire, director of Accept Management, and all-round brilliant human.  Since founding the company in 2012, Harriet has been at the helm, bringing her years of experience and passion for events to every project.  Accept Management specialises in high-level event coordination, curating premium entertainment and interactive experiences that elevate events and create standout moments.  Harriet is passionate about delivering exceptional experiences, fostering strong collaborative teams, and making the events world more fun, more connected, and just a little bit better for everyone.

“When a team has reached the edge of its resource, whether in terms of time or expertise, Accept steps in to become part of that team.  Our ethos has always been just that; to be an extension of a team.  We pride ourselves on the open and collaborative relationships we develop with both our clients and our suppliers.”

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Harriet not once, not twice, but three times now – and each shoot somehow manages to be bigger, bolder, and more brilliant than the last.  She also seems to have a secret superpower: every time she books a shoot, we end up in the middle of a heatwave (even when we’ve picked what should be a perfectly mild time of year!).

This most recent shoot focused on giving a real glimpse behind the scenes of Harriet’s ever-evolving world: the many pairs of black shoes that come with being an event manager, a soapbox (yes, really!), a ‘Famous Harriets’ t-shirt, paper streamers, and more flight cases and trusses than you can shake a stick at!  We also wanted to create images that reflect just how much her business and confidence have grown.  It was all about celebrating Harriet’s personality – her spark, her humour, her energy – and, of course, including a very special guest star: her gorgeous rescue boxer dog, who always steals the show.

“The midst of the busiest delivery period of the year doesn’t seem like the best time to schedule a brand photo-shoot but then, the questions Karina asks whilst planning a shoot are actually never better timed than when you’re in the middle of doing what you actually do.  Once again, I couldn’t be happier with the shots she’s captured for me and already have a million plans for how I can use them all.”

Harriet, it’s always such a pleasure to work with you as your business and brand evolve, thank you for trusting me to collaborate with you 🧡 I can’t wait to see where you go from here and what the next evolution will be (but maybe we’ll try shooting in freezing January next time!).
