Your own private garden oasis.

Colab Garden screams secluded lush greens. The garden wedding venue is an extension of their farm where they grow all organic produce for local restaurants. If you want a lush hidden gem, in the heart of town, but still feel like you're nowhere near a road, this is it.

As I was arriving to the venue, I (and many others) received a tornado warning on our phones. Um, what? The winds picked up and the sky turned gray. It definitely was a scary few minutes as we watched the clouds. Nothing like a little adrenaline rush before your wedding day! Thankfully, the winds settled down and we were safe to continue the wedding.

Tears and I Do's

The ceremony took place in one of the many nooks under an arbor designed and built by the groom himself. The amount of effort and work put into the wedding by these two and their families was truly touching.

The reception was the most fun reception. They had me for only a couple hours after that but check out the most epic Father/Daughter dance you've ever seen!
