When Christa from Bread Garden Events reached out to me a month ago to see if I’d be interested in doing a styled shoot, I was immediately all in! Her vision for the updated event space was to showcase the amazing light that ballroom gets as well as the fabulous roof terrace. I’ve photographed weddings here before and can agree that the uniqueness of a ballroom with a wall of windows is special. (Name the last ballroom you were in that had windows. They do not come easily!) Not just that, but it sits directly in downtown Iowa City on the pedestrian mall and has a modern, clean vibe that makes a perfect empty slate for any color or style of wedding you want.

Have I mentioned the roof terrace?

Christa put together an Urban Garden Party theme with lots of greenery, potted plants, and green, white, and tan colors. She wanted couples to be able to see the space’s beauty while also envisioning their own unique style there.

We had a lot of fun with this shoot and I cannot thank the other vendors and our models enough for collaborating on this!
