ILEA Event Photography by Kelsey Crews Photo. It is such a pleasure being a part of the ILEA Ventura-Santa Barbara chapter. ILEA is the International Live Events Association. I love meeting professionals in the event industry, and getting a chance to “talk shop.” Not only do I learn a lot from the members, but I make friends and also get a chance to attend some fun events. These are a few of the ILEA events that I have photographed. Some of the images are from the Montecito Event Center, there is one from the downtown Grassini Family Vineyards tasting room, one from the Nectar Eatery & Lounge, and more from the Wine Cask.

As you view these images, you’ll see Tom standing by his 1957 Bentley Silver Cloud 1, referred to as “Gentle Ben.” This car can be rented from Santa Barbara Tours a la Carte, and they have other choices in their fleet…check them out, on their website. I highly recommend this company…they provide a wonderful service.

You can also see Laurie Rasmussen, a harpist, with her gorgeous instrument. Her music is incredibly beautiful and really sets the mood for a wonderful experience.

The last couple photos are of Jessica Foster Confections homemade gourmet chocolate truffles. Her treats are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they are even more delicious. The mint infused truffle sticks are to die for!

These are just a few of the amazing experiences I’ve had being a part of ILEA, and I look forward to many more!
