Corporate Team-building with Bottle & Bottega

Something I strive for in my business is to please each client so above expectations that they want to hire you over and over again.  I work hard to achieve this and have been fortunate enough to be able to do with Bottle & Bottega.  They are a wine and art party business, have a local studio and host events like this on-location for organizations that want teambuilding activities.

Two overall goals here: 1) Capture the event, venue, and give a sense of what it was like to be there and 2) Select key images to end up in a slideshow video to showcase the type of work Bottle & Bottega does.

The first set of images here are of the crew responsible for helping each of the tables: the artists.

I captured people at various stages of painting; here are a few...

A sense of the overall space, the finished result and people gathering in front of the paintings to admire the work.

An additional component of this shoot was to produce a video slideshow from the images that can be used for Bottle & Bottega marketing efforts for the holidays.  Here's a link to that video.

Bottle & Bottega Corporate Event

What’s not to enjoy about events where people are getting together and having fun?  I’ve done a few events now for Bottle & Bottega and its always a great time!  Its interesting how there’s consistently trepodation as people enter the room (especially for corporate events since they are sometimes not told what their activity is until they arrive) and fears are quickly alleviated as the activity is explained by Rupa and her team.

There’s lots of preparation that goes into planning the event.  Here are some shots of the preparation in progress.

The painting instruction begins and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.

Rupa, the owner of the North Jersey Bottle & Bottega pulls double-duty this time and is teaching in addition to overseeing the event.

There were about 50 people at this event.  Here are a few taken while “working” on their art.

Each of the three tables gathered to present their final masterpiece.  I’m sure they’ll be hung throughout the offices shortly.
