I had been anxiously awaiting this day ever since I got the scoop that our friends at Thomas Caterers were going to buy the former Buggs Temple and convert it into Canal 337, a cool new event space at the end of the canal downtown.  Even though I was able to sneak in a couple of shoots the week prior, this opening event was so special given all the unthinkable amount of work that had gone into this labor of love.  Needless to say, everything looked spectacular, and it was a pleasure to film and experience Canal 337 alongside so many industry friends while collaborating with Erin Hession, Jessica Strickland, Detail + Design, Evans Audio Visual, Encore Entertainment and of course Thomas Caterers to make this opening event so grand!

I look forward every year to filming Thomas Caterers of Distinction‘s annual tasting event for our industry friends.  Due to the grand opening of their new venue Canal 337 three days later, they dialed this event (along with the guest list) down quite a bit and hosted it at their headquarters.  I took advantage of this opportunity to capture more of the behind the scenes process of creating these dishes, and their culinary staff is always so fascinating to see in action.  It’s also fun to see which of these dishes pass the test and go on to become served throughout the year at my events with Thomas.  But most of all, it’s fun just to eat these creations!  Erin Hession returned with her trusty sidekick John Wooton to capture photos of the fun, and this event was just the beginning…

Jessica & Marcus tied the knot (literally) in an elegant wedding ceremony and enjoyed a dance-filled reception at the Columbia Club. Coverage started with preparations in the bride’s room, the couple’s first meeting on the first floor, a few bars on the Hoagy Carmichael piano by the super-talented bride, and photo time with Erin Hession and her team. Then the ground floor ceremony incorporated unique touches like handfasting (i.e., tying the knot) and a wine box filled with love letters to be opened in five years.

The reception in the 10th floor ballroom featured some amazing dance moves by the bride & groom, who met each other through their mutual love for ballroom dancing, while the Cool City Swing Band provided the classy tunes. The room looked lovely courtesy of Bokay Florists, and the team from A Touch of Elegance provided exactly that and so much more to the entire day.
