A Crafted Collaboration: An Evening of Food & Beer Pairings
I had the opportunity to photograph A Crafted Collaboration, an exclusive ticketed dinner featuring Executive Chef Derek Doerner and Master Brewer Ryan Campagna.
The evening brought together thoughtfully prepared dinner dishes and craft beer pairings, creating a fun night full of new culinary experiences, good company, and plenty of details worth photographing.
