I photographed the Sterling estate-planning event at The Marine, where Janet Hugo and Marteen Michau delivered an insightful and engaging session that had the entire room leaning in from start to finish. Before the presentation began, a representative from Hospice Hermanus shared a brief update on their work, and guests contributed quietly and generously, with Sterling pledging to match all donations.

After a lively Q&A, guests enjoyed a Seven Springs Vineyards wine tasting from the Hemel-and-Aarde Valley, paired with beautifully presented hors d’oeuvres from the hotel. The afternoon was polished, warm, and seamlessly brought together—an event that felt both meaningful and memorable.
