Jane and I recently photographed “A Night Out in Style”– a 1920s themed gala held at the Hop Meadow Country Club in Simsbury, Connecticut, which raised money for Gifts of Love.  Gifts of Love is based in Avon and helps local families in need by providing food, furniture and other household items–a great organization.

Our friend Adria spearheaded the planning and did an awesome job–the gala gets better every year.  The very dapper crowd (check out our friends Ken and Sally–the first pic in the blogshow below–looking awesome) participated in a variety of events from a silent auction, a runway fashion show, a live auction, and casino tables.

The fashion show emcee’d by 96.5 TIC’s Damon Scott was great fun to shoot.  The celebrity models–who had a blast working it down the runway–included Billy Grant, chef and owner of Grant’s and Bricco restaurants in West Hartford, West Hartford Mayor Scott Slifka and Simsbury State Representative Linda Schofield, Terry Dietz–former CBS Survivor contestant, and Kevin Cottle, a recent finalist on the Hell’s Kitchen series.

Lastly…we even had a “3rd shooter” at this event….thanks to Val for taking a nice pic of us late night (last shot in blogshow below).  To view the photos, click on a pic and use your arrow keys to cycle through them.
