Objective: Capture the spirit and key moments of a Saving True Blues fundraising Gala, to create a visual record for the client’s post-event marketing, sponsor acknowledgement, guest social media and future promotional use. Imagery needed to reflect the warm energy, emotion and community support present throughout the evening.

Key shot list

• Media wall: posed portraits of guests, sponsors and key persons with clear branding visible.

• Raffle prizes: detailed product and prize-table images that show presentation and appeal.

• Auction prizes: detail shots highlighting prize features and presentation.

• Speakers: candid images of speakers, reactions from the audience, and wide-room context.

• Guests at tables: natural interactions, group portraits, table details (place settings, centrepieces, signage).

• Dancing/end of night: dynamic flash-assisted action shots showing guests enjoying themselves and the event’s energy.

Our overall goal was to capture and convey how the event both looked and felt. We aimed to express that concept through clean shots of the event details and venue, and through candid and warm engaging photography of the guests, capturing their joy, connection and genuine feeling through our lens.

Result: A cohesive visual story that communicates the brand and event’s warmth, community spirit and lively atmosphere. Images deliver usable assets for sponsor and attendee thank-you communications, event wrap-ups and future promotional campaigns, highlighting both individual moments and the overall success of the night.
