2012 THOMAS CATERERS TASTING MENU

Hi friends! Thanks for popping by our blog today! Andy + I had the honor + pleasure of photographing the 2012 Thomas Caterers Menu Tasting Event at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indianapolis. We absolutely adored this hard-working, talented staff of fun people. Just wait until you see some of their amazing creations below!

A special thanks to the following for making this event such a huge success: Owners Susan Thomas-Crannell + Kelly Early; Event Designers Vincent Early, Dee Haddadd, Renee Miner + Dawn Parham; Chefs Rachanee Keovorabouth, Toby Miles + Todd Kennedy; Equipment Manager Keith Cunningham; Office Manager Kendra Meuchel; Staff Coordinator Micky Ruble; and members of the Double Eagle Cafe Arsela Alibegovic + Chef Barbara Roman.

It was also such a treat to work alongside Bob Ridge from IndyVisual and A Classic Party Rental.

Now… on to the photos!
