EA Bride Vendor Choice Awards Gala
Chances are if you’ve seen a picture of one of your favorite wedding vendors standing in front of a brick wall with balloons in the last week, we took it. If you missed our last post on this, we were honored with the request to photograph the first ever, EA Bride Vendor Choice Awards Gala. Part of that was a photo session with all of the nominees.
Part of that, which we’re sharing now, was the actual awards gala itself. And can we just tell you how much fun it was to get together with all of our friendors (vendors that are friends) to dress up and celebrate each other and our community? It was an absolute BLAST! Not only did it give us all an excuse to dress to the nines, but we got to celebrate each other. And there’s just nothing quite like being recognized by your peers for all of the hard word you put in day in and day out.
So, on a frigid Saturday evening in January, we all got dressed up and met at The Guild for the gala. And it was an evening that we won’t be forgetting anytime soon. Not only did we get to greet every single person and take their photo as they came in, but we got to celebrate with them as they won their awards. We had an AMAZING dinner by Olive Events. And we got to laugh so, so much. There are nearly 500 photos from the event itself, so we’re not going to share all of them. We’ll share a few detail photos with you here, as well as the winners from each category.
So here’s a look at our black-tie gala, friends, because it was absolutely AMAZING!!

But really. What a blast. And you know what else we think is pretty cool? Throughout the evening, EA Bride shared all of the nominees for each category. Not just the top three, but everyone. Which was pretty cool. And oh-so-fun to celebrate with your table when one of you popped up.
