We needed a nice studio to take our engagement photos and let me just say this studio exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful inside and out. Lots of space and perfect photo opts. In my opinion the pictures online don’t do it enough justice. Natalie actually went above and beyond to accommodate us leading up to our shoot due to there being rain in the forecast for the day. It all worked out! They even have drinks and snacks available for you right in the studio. So excited to see the finished product of our engagement shoot. Overall had an amazing experience there and will highly recommend.
