A few weeks ago Daniela and I had the pleasure of documenting the Walrus Foundation’s Gala. The Walrus Foundation is a Canadian non-profit organization that is dedicated to promoting Canadian artists, writers, ideas, and talent. The gala was held at the Fermenting Cellar in the Distillery District and was a huge success. Here are some of our favourite images from the evening.
Talk to you soon!

On April 30th, Daniela and I documented the Ga-La-Licious fundraiser for the Nightwood Theatre. The gala was held at the Courthouse Event Space on Adelaide. There was a wide variety of entertainment from clowns, to taro card readers and buskers. Erica Ehm was the emcee of the evening and the lovely Janna Polzin from the Sounds of Music put on two beautiful performances. Everyone had a fun evening and a lot of money was raised for a very important arts organization. Please check out their website www.nightwoodtheatre.net to learn about what they do for the community, as well as the various theatre productions that they are putting on right now. Here are some teasers from the event. We’ll put some more photos up next week!

The Courthouse is a great venue. They have two levels and a big stage. I loved this light with the disco ball hanging down.
The food was delicious.
They had a lot of really fun stuff for the silent auction. Doesn’t this basket make you want to crawl into a nice warm tub?
The beautiful Janna Polzin before her first performance. This woman can sing.
The view from the second level.
Erica Ehm was a great emcee. I remember watching her on Much Music when I was little. She was one of my first idols. 
She’s a very funny lady and got the crowd pumped up for the live auction.
Some people enjoying the evening.
Thanks for looking!

Here are some more of our favourite photos from the Walrus Foundation Gala. It was so much fun. We love love love photographing events at the Fermenting Cellar in the Distillery District in Toronto. There is so much that you can do with that venue! It is a great location for both Toronto wedding receptions and events.
The hosts Seamus O’Regan, Shelagh Rogers, Shelly Ambrose, and John Macfarlane kept the guests entertained. They had a live performance by jazz musician Molly Johnson (she’s awesome), and a silent auction to raise money for their publication. The auction theme was ” Secret Message in a Bottle”. Guests got to bid on a message from a wide range of people like Margaret Atwood, Stephen King, Ian Rankin, Don Cherry, Sir Richard Branson, Douglas Coupland, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
The food was great and everyone had an amazing time (including us!). They did such an awesome job with the lighting and decor.
Enjoy!
