Capturing the 2025 HCEA Gala: Honoring Community Impact
This past weekend, I had the privilege of photographing the 2025 Hunterdon County Education Association (HCEA) Gala for the second consecutive year. Held at Razberry's in Frenchtown, NJ, the evening was a heartfelt celebration of local impact, connection, and community spirit.
Each year, the HCEA honors those who make a lasting difference in Hunterdon County, and this year’s recipients truly embodied the spirit of service and dedication:
✨ Kristen Boyce – A devoted local mom known for her selfless support of families throughout the county, making a meaningful difference in countless lives.
✨ Rich Gilchrest – President and head fudge maker at The Fudge Shoppe in Flemington, NJ. Known for his unwavering community support, Rich’s contributions are as rich as his signature sweets.
✨ The Hunterdon Art Museum – A cultural cornerstone in Clinton, NJ, fostering artistic expression and creative education for all ages.
An Evening of Appreciation
The night featured heartfelt speeches and touching slideshow presentations for each honoree, offering glimpses into their remarkable journeys and lasting impact on the community. As guests enjoyed a delicious meal in the warm, inviting atmosphere of Razberry's, the room buzzed with stories, laughter, and sincere appreciation for those who make Hunterdon County such a special place.
