Last week Chamard Vineyard was the host site for the CT PUG (Pictage Group) Holiday Party and it was a truly memorable evening. It was great fun to welcome such an incredibly talented group of photographers to the winery and to toast the holiday season with them.

Guests were treated by food from Gourmet Galley, who totally rocked the menu! It included some of my favorite comfort foods, all presented in a beautiful way. And the night ended with a Yankee Swap and cupcakes by the incredible, oh so delicious, Sugarbelle.

For the holidays we have decked the tasting room and wine cellar with holiday ornaments, fresh greens, lights, and trees, and there is always a fire going in the background. It really makes the perfect backdrop for a holiday party.

You Wash, I'll Dry Photoshoot at Chamard Vineyard

This week I was on location at Chamard Vineyard with the fabulous Justin and Mary Marantz to help style and coordinate the details for their latest photo shoot. They hosted a workshop for photographers with special guest Gene Higa, and a full day of classes on everything from life balance to marketing to finding your signature style. After their sessions the day ended with a really amazing shoot that had the most incredible details. (for more images check out J&M's blog)
