The CAFT Grand Ball 2025
The CAFT Grand Ball 2025 was an evening defined by elegance, purpose, and genuine human connection.
From the moment I arrived, camera in hand, there was a palpable sense that this was more than a formal event; it was a celebration of community, generosity, and shared values.
The reception was welcoming, and everyone was happy to be there and be part of an event with a purpose: helping children who are living challenging lives. This is what CAFT does.
As a photographer, I’m always observing the room beyond the obvious highlights. Yes, there was glamour: beautifully styled guests, a stunning venue, and a room glowing with candlelight and carefully considered details.
But what stood out most to me were the moments in between: the quiet smiles exchanged across tables, the proud embraces, the laughter that erupted without warning. These are the moments that tell the real story of a night like this.
One of the key moments of this event is the singing of the “12 days of Christmas” song: everyone dances, waves their napkins and just enjoy the festive atmosphere!
As the night progressed, prizes were presented throughout the evening, each announcement drawing collective anticipation from the room. These are moments full of energy and excitement of names being called,and it is always great to catch those surprised smiles, and the celebrations
A surprised guest wins a prize!
Following the usual formalities, the evening transitioned into the dance and fun on the dance floor. The band got everyone moving and enjoying the end of a truly special evening.
And this is a wrap for 2025 and another year ending with the CAFT Grand Ball!
