Maestro's Ball 2016: Arden Photography

We're always excited when this time of year comes around.  The Maestro's Ball was held on Friday night and Arden Photography was front and center.  We absolutely love photographing this event because every year  the tent always holds a huge surprise for us.  Sybil Sylvester of Wildflower Designs, definitely outdid herself this year!  The florals were absolutely amazing and thanks to the team at Event Rentals Unlimited, the tent was just as fabulous!  Chris Hastings started the dinner with his famous tomato salad. The Maestro's Ball benefits the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and guests are treated to a concert before the party begins!  This year, there was an after party held at the Alumni House.   Here are a few of my favorite photos from the night!  There were so many great moments and we're already counting down until next year's event!  For more photos, click the link below!  http://ardenclients.instaproofs.com/enterEvent.php?id=1401301

Kulture City Ball: Arden Photography

Last weekend was such a memorable time especially for an amazing local charity.  We had such an awesome time celebrating with the Kulture City organization.  Celebrity sightings, great food and wonderful entertainment are always the perfect combination for a successful event!  Events at Haven is the newest space in Birmingham that has taken the event world by storm and they had the wonderful role of being the host for the night.   The Ball raised over $100,000 for Kulture City, which provides assistance for autistic children.  There was a live painting demonstration by the dynamic David Garibaldi.  The proceeds from those paintings went directly towards the Kulture City foundation.  We're so grateful to be apart of such an inspiring night.  Thanks to all the vendors and the organizers, I can truly say that the event was a success and we can't wait until next year's!  For more photos from the event, be sure to click the link below!

Glenwood 2016! A Night Under the Big Top: Arden Photography

Once again it was time for A Night Under the Big Top! Every year the event, which benefits Glenwood Autism and Behavioral Health Center, is held at The Club.  The casino-styled event consists of a poker playing night with dancing and a silent auction.  This year seemed to be bigger than ever!  With an estimated crowd of 800 people, this was definitely the place to see and be seen!  The silent disco, which was held on the terrace overlooking the city's beautiful landscape, is always a nice additional that really gets the party going!  Overall, the fundraiser was a huge accomplishment for the center!   We are always thrilled to be apart of such an amazing night!  For more photos from the event, please check the online gallery's link here!  http://ardenclients.instaproofs.com/collection.php?event=1333728

Alabama Ballet Pointe Ball 2016: Arden Photography

We absolutely love photographing the Pointe Ball!  After all, you know the night will be filled with some amazing dance moves.  This past weekend, Alabama Ballet held its annual Pointe Ball at The Club and Arden Photography was front and center.  The room was painted red with decor and florals by Ray Jordan. The ball benefits the Alabama Ballet so we were actually treated to some preview performances from the company.  After performances, guests wined, dined and participated in the silent auction.  After dinner, the party moved into a room that was more appropriate for dancing!  This is one of our favorite events to photograph and we're always counting down the days until next years!  We hope you enjoy the photos!

Alabama Ballet Pointe Ball 2015: Arden Photography

We always look forward to photographing one of the most spectacular events in the city, the Alabama Ballet Pointe Ball.  Each year, we're treated to amazing food, great music and a signature performance from a few of the company members.  The event was held at The Club, a venue that's provides the best backdrop for an entertaining and fun-filled night.  After dinner, guests were treated to champagne and dessert while they awaited the best kept secret of the evening; one of the company member's started the after-party with a bang as he gave homage to the 70's with an awesome disco dance.  We had such a great time at the Pointe Ball and this is truly and event that we look forward to photographing!
