“The space was perfect for what I needed and more! It has a little bit of everything that I am looking for when looking for a venue. There is ample space with great natural light that gives you plenty of options for shooting. The big window is east-facing and allows tons of soft light in the afternoon. There are two skylights - the back one with frosted glass and the front with clear. Plenty of seating options to get you started, but also a nice "blank canvas" to bring your vision to life. Thanks for hosting!!!”
