Haute Tea with E Partner: Images by Lighting

As if getting Images by Lighting to set the ambiance for your event isn’t prestigious enough, how would you feel if the award-winning lighting designer and founder of the wildly successful company actually showed up for the party? We love Raymond and we were absolutely honored to have him as a guest at this year’s Haute Tea with E. Lighting Designer Lonnie Thompson was also there, and is just as talented, charming and adorable as Raymond! It’s impossible not to smile when these guys are around. They are always so professional and go above and beyond to create incredible environments every single time. The European Garden at Restoration Hardware never looked better than on Tuesday night and we have Raymond and Lonnie to thank for it. Images by Lighting is the best of the best!
