Sweet Dreams Studio was happy to be one of the Preferred Photographers for Lukes Wings 3rd Annual Fashion Takes Flight at Longview Gallery on January 20, 2010 in Washington DC. Lukes Wings is a charity fundraiser to help pay for families to visit their wounded soldier relatives in the hospital. The event included cocktails and open bar, silent auction and an exciting glamorous runway fashion show modeled by volunteers and our beautiful servicemen and women. The MC 's included Angie Goff of WUSA 9 News and founders Fletcher Gill and Sarah Wingfield.
I had the great fortune to meet and talk with John and Joe who were severely injured in Iraq and are rehabilitating at Walter Reed Hospital in DC. John had both his legs amputated and Joe had some brain injury from roadside bombs. Talking with them you can't help but admire what they did for our country and that they are great normal midwestern guys with big hearts. John told me even after his injury he loved serving his country and would be up for getting back in there. This good cause was a huge success and raised an estimated $30-40,000 to help our injured soldiers be with their families. There were various sponsors including an Aston Martin dealership and Miller's Fur. The afterparty was at Tattoo lounge in DC. And you can't forget the various makeup artists, stylists and other volunteers including the gazillions of paparazzi that was there (shout out to Michael, Richard and Nakeva).
