Yelp UNCAGED

We were invited to shoot another fantastic Yelp event and we jumped on this one because this one was at the Honolulu ZOO!  We love shooting at the zoo and we are loving these Yelp events, organized & planned by Yelp superstar, Emi H.  The food was crazy - and when Nancy & I aren't shooting, we're eating.  The Pig & the Lady (that we love from their pop-ups and farmers markets) had its vegetarian curry and wrapped sausages.  SO GOOD!  Thanks to ALL the vendors that participated this time.  There were so many I don't think I can even list them all.  But special thanks to Manuel, the director at the Honolulu Zoo, who gave us a special backstage pass to see the elephants after the zoo closed!

This event had it all- up close access to zoo animals, great food & drinks, amazing lighting for after the sun went down, good music & MC (Maleko from 101.9FM), photos (by us!), photo booth set up by Hawaii Photo Rental, live art, and since the theme was UNCAGED, everyone was invited to come in their best animal costumes.  Alaskan Airlines donated round trip tickets to the winners and there were some really creative costumes.  And for those who couldn't quite bring themselves to wearing animal print, Color Whims was back to do some amazing animal face painting.  Check out the pictures of the Geiko gecko gettin' down with a unicorn in a white suit.  Yep, these are Yelpers.  

Check out some of the fun memories from the Yelp event here, and if you'd like to see the full gallery of the event photos, you can see them on our website Shootsphoto.smugmug.com.

Hope to see everyone at the next Yelp event!
