Pastry Chef Jacques Torres Holiday Party

Below are some of my straight & some "out of the box" photographs...I can't remember having so many great pastry desserts and the Espresso Martini was incredible.  Many wonderful pastry chefs were present such as Top Chef Judge Gail Simmons and the Pastry Chef contestant on the show she hosted Top Chef: Just Desserts, Zac Young.  Food Photographer extraordinaire Lou Manna chatted with the wonderful Pastry Chef Jacques Torres.

Candids and Details - October Wedding in Massachusetts

A very special Wedding Couple, two chefs!  The festivities started with the Rehearsal in the rain, followed by dinner in Rhode Island where the groom works as a chef at Amalfi of Narragansett. Fortunately the day of the wedding the weather was beautiful along with the bride!  The location was picture perfect at Five Bridge Inn in Rehoboth MA.  The Groom and his band also performed at the wedding party...and I heard the Bride & Groom jumped into the pool later in the evening!
