Local Feasts & Fêtes

Photography of Featured Gourmet Chef Dinner Events & Farm-to-table Dinners at Beautiful Connecticut Venues + Farms

~

The floors are polished, the dining room is set, and guests arrive with cherished friends or family are ready for a memorable dinner with a special chef or catering company.

When everyone is having a good time, it’s easy to forget to take the best photos to showcase a wonderful event at a beautiful setting. 

I offer professional photography to help guests remember & share their experience with others. This includes documenting candids, food, and optional guest portraits at the venue. Plus, there are photos that can be used by the chef, venue, and any other businesses involved in creating this memorable event.

Past Highlights:

Are you a chef, farm, venue, or non-profit planning a special dinner event featuring a local chef?

When organizations or businesses hire a photographer for their special dinner event, typically the guests might never see the photos, and have no opportunity to share their experience other than a few selfies.

Because I’m a business owner like you, I don’t want this to be a missed opportunity for powerful word-of-mouth marketing for all involved in event planning. If you are a venue, farm, or caterer, you can only do so much with the photos. Instead, let your followers freely share images about their experience via an online gallery accessible to all.

Exclusively for Local Feasts & Fêtes events that Ling Messer (or team photographer) photographs, a public online gallery is available for event attendees and vendors, where anyone can easily download or share photos of their favorite moments! To cover the time & talent of photography, high-res digital images or beautiful artwork can be ordered directly on the gallery, which can be accessed right here on this page.

Photography with no hourly rate charge is possible if event guests invited to opt-in for portraits or candid photos at the dinner location. This can be done through a custom designed business card, sign, or email announcement prior to the event.
