Gala Shoot | Venue 3 Two
Channeling all of the Vanity Fair/Oscar portraits/editorial vibes we could…
I had the honor of doing a shoot at Venue 3 Two that had a gala theme. It’s the perfect space for it…rich finishes, whimsical wallpaper, and a hint of 20’s art deco in every room. We conceptualized for a while trading ideas, potential vendors, and a mood board to define what we were going for.
We had an amazing time blasting some music and snapping photos throughout this special property. The people, the hair/makeup, the dresses…all a delight. Especially this Doug gent who was added last minute after one of the other guys wasn’t able to make it. He was thrilled to make his ‘modeling’ debut :)
Here’s a little taste of the fun. Enjoy!
Thank you to everyone who made this shoot possible:

We partnered with the lovely staff at Venue 3 Two for this shoot but all thoughts are my own.
