Celebrating the Year of the Tiger with the San Francisco Symphony
by Julie Hamilton | in Just the Details, Events

San Francisco City Hall was again the site of a gorgeous event with the San Francisco Symphony, the "10th Anniversary Chinese New Year Concert & Imperial Ball."  This event was to celebrate and welcome the Year of the Tiger.  I have to say, this this was one of the most colorful and innovative events that Damion has had the privilege of capturing.  The clear, lucite chairs provided a perfect view of the gorgeous tables that were lit from within.  The color scheme, overflowing with oranges, magentas, and purples carried over into the swanky lounge area where the guests could relax and enjoy themselves.  I am in love with this event!!  Of course, our hats are fully off to the AMAZING array of work by Got Light? and the event design by Blueprint Studios.  We are so privileged to have the honor of capturing their pure artistry to share with you!! Enough said!

Keep celebrating, Julie 

The graphic designs that you see here on the bottom left and right were actually a video that was creating and filling the design in real time as the guests were celebrating!

One word:  Stunning.

Shanghai Opening Night Gala
by Julie Hamilton | in Events, Just the Details

The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco is celebrating a new exhibition called "Shanghai" and Damion was fortunate enough to be asked to document the Opening Night Gala for this event.  As always and forever, the gorgeous and elaborate lighting elements were provided by our friends at Got Light?, one of the best lighting professionals in San Francisco undoubtedly! Many congratulations to those involved with the success of the Shanghai exhibit! We hope to see it soon!

Keep appreciating, Julie 

The backdrop for these chandeliers and the lighting centerpiece, which you'll see below, was a clear top tent from which one could see SF City Hall. 

Stunning Samsung Hall

 

Love the lighting pattern, even on the walkway...great detailed work by Got Light? 

And now for the Night Magic!

 

The evening's entertainment included a performance by Mezzo Soprano Zheng Cao

San Francisco Ballet Opening Night "Silver Celebration" Gala
by Julie Hamilton | in Events, Just the Details

Over on Damion's FB page, he showed a little bit of the "Silver Celebration" Gala on the opening night of the SF Ballet, BUT to appreciate the magnitude of the design in this event, you must see more!  Not only was is spectacular because the dinner courses were served in seperate locations with FOUR completely unique design layouts, but when the guests returned from the ballet 90 minutes later, they were treated to a completely different set up and design for the late evening events.  You will not believe the kind of work it took to transform all of these spaces within the 90 minutes that the guests attended the ballet.  Major kudos to ALL of the hard working vendors from this event, including but not limited to Blueprint Studios, Got light?  (amazing lighting), and Paula LeDuc Fine Catering.  Here are a few details to get your imagination whirling:

 

One of the beautiful designs featuring the "Silver" theme

Another beautiful design in the main area of SF City Hall

 

Another aspect of the "silver" celebration

Candlelight paired the with the dark red calla lilies were carried throughout the theme as well.

 

Candles everywhere! 

So the guests dined on a delicious looking dinner from Paula LeDuc, retired to the ballet and when they returned to the same spaces as before, 90 minutes later, they found a much sleeker, much sexier event!

I love the drummer's face!!!
