Members Christmas Party With Santa Photography at the Stanwich Club in Greenwich, CT

A Holiday Brunch Surrounded by Tradition and Familiar Faces

The annual members Christmas party at the Stanwich Club in Greenwich, CT is a holiday tradition that brings families together in a warm and elegant setting. This year’s celebration took place during the club’s Christmas brunch, where members and their families gathered to enjoy the season and create lasting memories.

Photographing this event is always meaningful, especially after years of returning to the same venue and building relationships with the families who attend.

Photos With Santa in a Classic Holiday Setting

Families were invited to take photos with Santa, creating keepsakes that felt both festive and timeless. The backdrop for these portraits was one of the Stanwich Club’s most charming spaces, featuring the club’s beautiful fireplace alongside an elegantly decorated Christmas tree.

The combination of warm tones, seasonal décor, and natural light created a setting that required very little embellishment. It was a perfect example of how a thoughtfully designed venue can elevate holiday photography.

Printed Keepsakes and Instant Digital Delivery

Guests received printed 4x6 photos to take home immediately, giving families a tangible reminder of the day. In addition to the prints, images were also delivered digitally via text message, allowing parents to easily save and share their photos with friends and family.

This balance of physical keepsakes and digital convenience continues to be one of the most appreciated aspects of holiday events like this.

Familiar Faces and Meaningful Connections

One of the most rewarding parts of photographing events at the Stanwich Club is the opportunity to reconnect with members and families I’ve become friendly with over time. Short conversations, shared laughs, and recognition from familiar faces add depth to the experience beyond the photography itself. Even a brief visit to an event like this reinforces the sense of community that makes country club traditions so special.

A Little Mischief and a Lot of Holiday Spirit

No holiday gathering is complete without a bit of playful disruption. A mischievous green guest made an appearance, adding lighthearted moments throughout the brunch. Despite the antics, families remained focused on enjoying the experience and capturing photos together. By the end of the event, smiles, laughter, and holiday cheer filled the room, creating a gallery of images that reflected both the elegance of the venue and the warmth of the season.
