Annie Watt Agency’s Third annual "Impromptu Portraits — One Night Only" Fundraising Exhibition at The Colony Hotel, Palm Beach

Always a must attend event, the Annie Watt Agency held its third annual "Impromptu Portraits — One Night Only" Fundraising Exhibition in Palm Beach. The invitation-only cocktail party, which was held Tuesday, April 18th at The Colony Hotel Solarium, brought out more than 200 glittering guests eager to catch the eye of Annie and her experienced team of photographers.

Annie Watt has long had a stellar reputation for ‘paying it forward’ in Palm Beach and Manhattan for philanthropic contributions. This tradition continues for this festive and dazzling event with the generous support from The Colony owners, Sarah and Andrew Wetenhall.

The 2023 Honoree, Fashion Icon Iris Apfel was in attendance, selecting the Palm Beach Police Department as the recipients of the proceeds from the exhibition’s print sales. Palm Beach Chief of Police Nicholas P. Caristo and Major John Scanlan were in attendance also.

More than 600 photos were on exhibit showcasing events and parties, as well as portraits of well-known celebrities such as: Tom Hanks, Tommy Hilfiger, Jane Fonda, Barbara Walters, Candice Bergen, Sylvester Stallone, among others.

In order to assure the evening’s resounding success, Annie had enthusiastic support from her event manager, Alexandra-Dana Gusita, 6 of her photographers, 2 videographers, and a social media creator who were active onsite throughout the evening.

In addition to Palm Beach, the Annie Watt Agency has photographers in NYC, the Hamptons, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London who bring an impressive level of talent and provide sparkling images.

All photos are available for purchase online through Annie’s website, www.AnnieWattPhotography.com
