The Braun Foundation & Birthday Celebration Pictures!

The Braun Foundation Event at D'Amore downtown was spectacular! Celebrating the new Braun Foundation & also Ralph's Birthday - You may remember the Braun Event Album that I posted a few weeks ago on my blog. Everything about the event was top-notch and amazing. What a great new venue!! The views from D'Amore overlooking every direction downtown, the amazing food and dessert selections by Thomas Caterers, a special visit from Duff with Ace of Cakes & Marilyn Monroe all lead me to say that this has to be one of the best events I photographed last year!

Event Location: D'Amore on the 48th Floor of the Chase Tower Building
Coordination & Decorations: Accent on Indianapolis - Shannon & Sarah - are wonderful!
Videography: IndyVisual - Bob Ridge is amazing!
Birthday Cake: Ace of Cakes from the Food Network - Special Presentation by Duff Goldman!
Food & Desserts: Thomas Caterers of Distinction

Below are a few of my favorite photos from the event . . .
Melody & Ralph are such an amazing couple! It was a pleasure photographing their big event.
It wouldn't be a birthday without a birthday cake! And what a great cake by Ace of Cakes with a special presentation and appearance by Duff! Check out the working lights. . .

The food was AMAZING! Below are a few photos of the highlights and all the over-the-top selections by Thomas Catering. How can you go wrong with 4 or 5 tables full of sushi . . . Yum!
