Last weekend I had the honor to shoot one of the best birthday parties I’ve ever experienced. My friend Kyle was turning 40 and his lovely wife Radhika pulled out all of the stops and created an amazing event on the roof of the Cova Hotel in San Francisco. I had not been to the Cova before and was delighted to see how nice the roof deck was! The views are amazing and the event people over there are great to work with. If you want to do an event there, be sure to ask for Mohi.
The party theme was casino formal and everyone really came out in their best. There were blackjack tables, roulette, a giant champagne bottle and a very large ice sculpture which we discovered will eventually topple over when it melts just enough.
This birthday party was kind of like a reunion for many of us there. I saw friends I had not seen in years and everyone had a smashing time – including the ice sculpture.
One of the highlights of the evening was a surprise performance by Radhika and her lady posse when they appeared on the dance floor to do a fully choreographed number which closed with Radhika materializing as the devilangel to seduce Kyle. (I think it worked.)
What a fantastic night for a fantastic guy. Happy Birthday Kyle!
