And if you want to kick things off with a cocktail reception, they can make that happen too! Oh, and did I mention they have a bar? You can choose from an open bar, limited bar, or cash bar, all featuring premium or house liquor, beer, and wine. They've got you covered when it comes to drinks! One more thing I have to mention is the parking and valet services they offer. It's so convenient for you and your guests.

“I purchased a photo session for my daughter-in-law as a baby shower gift, to be used for maternity or newborn photos (she chose maternity). The photos are magical - they perfectly capture their love story. Leah is a talented photographer who brings out the very best, and is so easy to work with. Both my son and daughter-in-law thoroughly enjoyed their session. If you're looking for a photographer, look no further. You won't be disappointed.”
