Oh I absolutely loved the natural light and the rustic design of the place!

Nothing really! If any I disliked that I can only spend 2 hours there 😂

Photo Shoot · 2 guests · February 2024

The venue is big enough for the photoshoot.

The place was a bit hot due to the venue located at the top floor.
