Creme de MINT - A Couple Shots from Last Night

These are a few photo selections from last night's anniversary party at MINT, which I shot for DC Modern Luxury Magazine.  Of course, to get the full scoop, you need to pick up your copy from the newsstands.  I may post some more photos soon, but I wanted to get these shots up before I move on to the next assignment, which is tonight:  Junior League's Tossed & Found Preview Night Party.

Highlights of the shoot:  

• I managed to snag front-door, rock star parking;
• Fabulous atmosphere - soothing colors (mint green was dominant, of course), a smart use of space, and really nice ambient lighting;
• Not to mention, the guests were so open to being photographed, which isn't always the case;
• And a pilates machine and demonstrator, spotlighted in the middle of the main conjugation room!

Love it when I can secure the key shots first and my friend, Erika Litman, who works for DC Modern Luxury, greeted me at the door and helped me to check this list off!  Yea! 

Pilates machine demo was my next target and was very fun to shoot.  By the way, if pilates will make my arms look like that, I'm totally in!

As I said before, everyone was so open to being photographed and very photogenic, too.  Always a plus.  Guests like Grady Renfrow and Tony Villa (as seen here with Erika) were very accommodating to making sure I got adequate coverage.  Not to mention, when the lighting is different in multiple spots--from by the windows to strictly ambient by the bar--it helps that guests get that you just need to make one or two adjustments to the camera to get some top shots. :)
