Happy 10th anniversary to this beautiful couple. Anne Marie Henick Benard and Jaime Benard. This photo was taken at 10 o’clock at night on Lake Louis in Banff Canada at the Fairmont Banff Springs. We took a golf cart down to the water got on a raft in their dress and tux. You can’t see how furiously the guy was trying not to go into the current. It all could’ve gone wrong really quickly, but fortunately it ended up being one of the best photos I’ve ever seen this photos not Photoshop at all. taken by Steve Lee

Coordinated the 50th Lombardi Award award tonite celebrating the best in college football lineman. It was an amazing night to bookend the 40th that I also coordinated.

I know nothing about football but no one in the world knows more about this legacy and the winners than me. It truly is a labor of love.

Congratulations to from UCLA on becoming the 50th winner. You join an amazing roster of exceptional players including 49 winner and houston Texan Will Anderson Jr.

The Coca-Cola Bottlers Association Event at Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages was a two-part extravaganza that left attendees in awe. The event seamlessly transitioned from a sleek, conference-style stage presentation to an over-the-top, highly customized rustic-themed soirée held in an elegantly designed tent.

Here are some standout features of this remarkable event:

Stage Presentation: The event kicked off with a sophisticated stage presentation, creating a conference-style atmosphere. The stage was meticulously designed to reflect the professionalism and branding of Coca-Cola. I loved loved love the custom signage from Gunter Creative.

Revolving Drink and Dessert Station: One of the unique custom elements was a revolving drink station from A Fancy Wall

Massive Chandeliers: The event featured three massive chandeliers that undoubtedly added a touch of grandeur to the rustic setting but with 100 hundreds of Coke and Topo Chico bottles

Coca-Cola Can Backdrop: To pay homage to the iconic Coca-Cola brand, a Coca-Cola can backdrop featuring hundreds of perfectly placed coke cans.

Kirksey Gregg and his team for the unbelievable decor, gorgeous red flowers, furniture, linens, chandeliers and backdrops

Gunter Creative, whose custom woodwork was also an exceptional part of the event.

Craig Howard and the catering staff from the Ballroom on the Bayou for the very yummy Mexican food themed lunch - tamales were a huge hit

Anthony Gutierrez and Monarch Hospitality for the unique presentation of an over the top charcuterie table, the best and cutest little twice baked potato bar and the yummy sliders

Malik McGhie for his great photobooth.

Michael Saavedra for putting together the video and the event photos

J & D Entertainment for the Cute Hostess Girls, the Trick Roper, Mexican Guitarist and Country Western Band

and A Fancy Wall for the exceptional rotating structures that the alcoholic coke floats and desserts sat on.

We love producing this opening of the newly constructed Blossom Hotel in the Texas Medical Center. The innovative sand pouring instead of ribbon cutting worked out great. And the shimmer all backdrop for photos made for beautiful photos.
