Recently I was asked by Stephen Beckta (Beckta dining & wine) to photograph the Ottawa Restaurant Awards Gala Dinner. The big event was this last Monday night and is designed to bring the restaurant industry in Ottawa together to recognize the best in the business (and maybe eat and drink a little as well). 

With 5 food stations headed by 5 of the top chefs in Ottawa and wine a plenty, it goes without saying that the event was a huge success!
