Capturing Halloween magic: a day at Sitecore Sofia

When Sonja Kropidłowska, Sitecore’s Global Workplace Manager, reached out and asked, “Would you be my Super Photographer that day??” I knew this Halloween Office Celebration at Sitecore Sofia on October 30th, 2024, would be something special. As a remote worker, I often connect digitally with the team, but being invited to capture the event in person felt like a unique opportunity to bond on a deeper level.

Setting the scene at Sitecore Sofia

I arrived early on October 30th to capture the Halloween transformation of the Sofia office. Watching the team decorate was like seeing a work of art come together. Cobwebs were draped across doorways. Pumpkin lanterns glowed on each desk. Every detail was carefully planned, from the spooky ghosts to the colorful accents. The office went from a simple workspace to a Halloween wonderland.

The view from the 4th floor added to the charm. Blue skies and autumn-colored trees framed the office perfectly. The natural beauty paired with the festive atmosphere made every shot come alive. It was clear how much thought and creativity went into making the office feel special for the celebration.

The food was a major highlight of the celebration. A variety of pizzas served as the centerpiece. But it was the Halloween-themed cupcakes that really stole the show. Each cupcake was decorated with spooky designs, making them look like mini works of art.

To add a personal touch, each guest could order a favorite from Happy Bar & Grill. This mix of shared platters and personal orders created a welcoming atmosphere. The lunch had something for everyone, from classic comfort food to fun, Halloween-inspired sweets.

It wasn’t just about the decorations or the food—it was about the connection between the team.

The beauty of photographing people at a gathering like this is in catching those moments of genuine connection. It’s not just about the aesthetics of a well-decorated room or carefully plated food; it’s about showing the joy and vibrancy of people coming together to celebrate.
