Palettera Grand Opening...

I was lucky enough to shoot the Palettera Grand Opening this past Saturday.  The event was heavily attended from start to finish and proved to be a challenge to photograph.  With so many patrons visiting and the owners wanting to try to get as many candid and posed shots as possible with the attendees I was quite lucky to work with someone on this event.  My partner in crime that night was Phil Pang, Photographer/Videographer extraordinaire!  

For the majority of the night we were stationed in opposite sides of the studio trying to get in all the action we could.  By the middle of the night however, it proved difficult to maintain this plan of attack as I was often pulled off to take more specific photos for the evening.  In the end I believe we captured a full range of photos; candid, artistic and posed. 

A few of our photos were submitted to the magazine WedLuxe.  WedLuxe is luxury wedding magazine in Canada that often does features on major trends and provides a wide rage of reviews on various aspects of weddings.  To check out some of the photos and the editorial used click here:  Palettera Grand Opening.

Now onto the event.  It was a fantastic event put on by Palettera with loads of food/snacks and wine flowing freely as guests were able to mingle and check out the large studio decorated with vintage writing/letter press items and furniture.  It began at 4pm and ended at nearly 12 and throughout this time the studio was a buzz with activity.    There was a steady flow of attendees congratulating the owners on their opening and taking a look  at the stationary and cards for sale that evening.  All proceeds for that evening went to charity.  The Grand Opening was a success and the studio is now official open for  business.  If there are any initiation or card needs in your future and custom cards are in the budget, I highly recommend Palettera, as they will tailor to your budget and ideas to create a truly extravagant custom correspondence.  

 

Congrats Palettera!
