UnCork Up North // An incredible evening benefiting breast cancer research in Traverse City

Last week I had the incredible opportunity to photograph the Dynami Foundation’s UnCork Up North event. An impressive fundraising event for breast cancer research. This cause - benefitting women’s health and cancer research - is so very worthy of the time, dedication and resources that went into this event, but I still have to say WOW. This was an unbelievable showing of the incredible food and wine scene in Northern Michigan… AND a silent auction, live painting and collector’s wine bar were also features of the evening.

I just have to list the folks involved in pulling this together. I really hope I’m not missing anyone because this is quite the list:
