PhotographerWORK AROUND COVID-19 – I photographed a wedding at this venue for the first time in September 2020 and they di da phenomenal job working around covid! We felt very safe working there and they were really quick to switch from the ceremony to the socially distant reception. Plus the location is great for photos!
