MADRI’S TORONTO SHOWCASE WITH SERGE IBAKA

As a Toronto Corporate Photographer, I always appreciate events that blend storytelling, culture, and craftsmanship—and Madri’s exclusive media, influencer, and hospitality-industry showcase at the Ace Hotel Toronto delivered exactly that. From the moment guests stepped into the venue, the atmosphere felt elevated yet inviting, creating the perfect environment for dynamic, story-driven event photography.

The evening brought together a curated group of media professionals, Toronto influencers, and some of the city’s most respected bartenders and bar owners. This mix of creative voices, industry expertise, and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for an experience that was equal parts educational and celebratory. Every corner of the Ace Hotel was buzzing with conversation, tastings, and anticipation as guests learned more about Madri’s heritage and vision.

Serge Ibaka, the guest of honour and brand ambassador for Madri, brought an unmistakable presence to the room. His connection to the brand—and the pride he carries in representing it—created several standout photographic moments. Whether he was speaking on stage, connecting with guests, or sharing insight into what Madri represents to him personally, Serge added an energy that truly anchored the event.

Additional speakers included Carlos Garcia, founder of The La Sagra brewery, whose passion for craft brewing and authentic storytelling resonated deeply with the crowd. Caitlin Keeley also took the stage, offering her own perspective on Madri’s journey and its growing influence within the beverage landscape. Capturing each speaker’s expressions, interactions, and audience engagement became a key part of documenting the event’s narrative.

What I loved most about photographing this Toronto influencer event was the blend of elegance and authenticity. The Ace Hotel provided a beautifully modern backdrop, Madri provided the culture and craft, and the guests brought the energy that made the evening truly unforgettable.

For brands seeking Influencer Event Photography or a Toronto Corporate Photographer to capture high-profile launches, industry events, or private showcases, I’d be thrilled to help bring your vision to life with impactful, story-rich imagery.
