Hungarian Wines Masterclass and Tasting at Hotel 1 West Hollywood

There are events, and then there are experiences that linger long after the last glass is poured. When Constance Chamberlain, founder of Wine & Co, set out to introduce Hungarian wines to Los Angeles, she wasn’t just curating a tasting; she was crafting a story and history of a great nation. One about culture, connection, and the people behind the bottle. And she asked me to document and frame this experience.

As a publicist, Constance is known for elevating brands that already have soul. Her approach to PR is more relational than transactional—less about press hits and more about presence. And this event was no exception. The evening unfolded like a love letter to discovery: winemakers, sommeliers, journalists, and curious palates gathered in a sunlit Los Angeles space to sip, learn, and connect with curious connoisseurs.

Normally I don’t photograph “events” but what I love about Constance is her geniune push for bold and unique storytelling. She asks not just for documentation but framing and narrative. She loves how I infuse fashion and lifestyle into my images so the client receives the exact same treatment as a brand aspiring to a campaign. I want that client to not only reflect in my images but to also share and communicate their mission in them.
