On August 2nd, I was invited by my dear friend Evelyn to attend Martini Madness which is hosted by Duncan Reyes, a wonderful wedding planner. Martini Madness is a social event where many of Duncan’s friends who are wedding vendors come out to meet each other. There are, of course, photographers, caterers, bloggers, florists, MC & DJ’s, bands, wedding planners, event planners, and more that come from all over the Bay Area and beyond. Martini Madness was held at Vessel in San Francisco, a very trendy and hip lounge. I had a great time meeting new people and taking a few photos at the event!
Adios M.F. Cocktail
These cupcakes were made by Jen’s Cakes in San Jose. Super cute and VERY DELICIOUS!
A yummy coffee/chocolate cupcake!
Jen’s red velvet cakes are the BEST red velvet cupcakes I had EVER tasted!!! Seriously, not too sweet, not bland, just a perfect perfection! The cream cheese frosting was a perfect balance between the moist cake. OMG, this cupcake is to die for!!!
Below is a photo of Duncan and DJ DJ Jason Mitchell. This Martini Madness was a special edition because we were also celebrating his birthday!
Jim Vetter was the official photographer for Martini Madness. He is such a nice guy!!!
Carl is a MC/DJ. A really fun guy to be around!
Here’s a photo of my friend Evelyn and her son, Manuel.
Duncan had a surprise for his birthday…. Marilyn! She was quite entertaining! 🙂
Dave was the official videographer for Martini Madness. It was really cool watching him film the event.
It was a great night of mingling and meeting new people. Thank you Duncan for hosting this awesome event and I hope to return to many more! Happy birthday, Duncan!!!
Also, thank you to Evelyn for introducing me to Duncan and Martini Madness! 🙂

Looks like a great event Jas!! Wish I could have been there!! ^^ Super fotos!!
Thanks, Glen!
Very nice. Like how you managed to light everything but still keep some of the orange light!
Lighting was incredibly challenging here. It was super dark but shooting with a large aperture really helped.
Cool shots Jas! It’s good that you’re doing this kind of networking. Relationships with other vendors will help you out a lot in the wedding biz =)
Definitely. Thanks Jon!
great venue! seems like a wonderful networking event and oh my, those cupcakes look so yummy!
Omg, totally worth trying when you’re out here!
Looks like a nice event. Good luck with ur endeavors
Thank you Howie!
