The Founders Club Fire & Ice Gala

For Community Medical

The Brief

What they wanted.

The Founders Club Fire & Ice Gala for Community Medical was designed down to the ice bar. A night like that goes fast. The photos are what's left.

The Solution

What we made.

We shot it on September 19, 2026, from the empty room to the full one. Tablescapes and gold balloon installs before doors. The Fire & Ice marquee, the ice bar, aerialists overhead. Speeches at the podium, plated dinners, the DJ, and the friends who came dressed for it. Fire on one side. Ice on the other. All of it in frame.

The gallery

Frame by frame.
