On April 5, 2025, I had the honor of photographing Nativity Preparatory School of Wilmington’s annual gala, Ignite the Night, at The Waterfall in Wilmington, Delaware. The event was a beautiful celebration of community, education, and support for the school’s mission.
The evening was filled with heartfelt moments, from the recognition of Fr. Richard DeLillio, OSFS, for his instrumental role in founding the school, to inspiring speeches by students like eighth-grader Raleir Tate, who shared how Nativity Prep has provided him with a sense of belonging and brotherhood.
As I moved through the event, I captured images of guests enjoying the formal dinner, engaging in lively conversations, and participating in the evening’s festivities. The atmosphere was one of warmth and unity, reflecting the strong community that surrounds Nativity Prep.
