Saltbrush Boise Greek Wine Producer Event | Boise Idaho Lifestyle Photographer

I felt a bit of my worlds colliding on this two day photoshoot in downtown Boise.Before we moved to Boise in 2017, we lived in the heart of Oregon Wine Country, just outside of Portland, Oregon. We spent a decade there in the Willamette Valley and when you live in Oregon Wine Country, the wine producers and industry is always swirling around you. Most prominently I remember harvest in the fall, when we could always smell the crushed grapes fermenting.This two day photoshoot was an event by Great Gatherings for Greek Wine Producers who are working on bringing their wines into the United States wine market and get their wines on tables and shelves here. The event took place at Saltbrush in downtown Boise and included two days of private dinners and a rooftop wine tasting PR event. I always love the challenge of photographing the feel of an event, capturing the people, the details, the food, the locations, the weather, the whatever else inspires me, that all combines together to make an event what it is. The event was put on by Predhomme Strategic Marketing out of Ontario Canada, and I can say they did an excellent job and were great for me to work with.Huge thank you to Natalie Plummer with Hello Meridian, Cait Montoya with Boise Socialite, Heidi Wight with Wight House Creative and Jesse Larsen with Jesse and Friends Real Estate, for saving me a place at their table and shared their meal with me when I had a few moments to sit down between photos. I love the community in Boise, if you follow along you'll hear me ramble about it all the time, and people like this are an example of why I love it.One other note on these photos, these are all done with natural light, the client requested this, and then the restaurant also had someone with epilepsy, so using bright flashing lights was not an option, but I personally love taking photos with natural light, and love using it in unique ways to tell stories and highlight certain things.Here's the photos, which will tell the story of the event, better than I ever could. Thank you to Predhomme Strategic Marketing for trusting me with this project.
