What are 3 things you love about photographing weddings at Tabula Rasa?

First and foremost, there are a number of cool spots around the venue for photos! The variety of photo locations is great because it allows the bride and groom (and wedding party) to get all the photos they want without having to travel off-site, which in turn gives them more time to spend catching up with guests.

The light! Not every wedding venue allows us to take advantage of the beautiful golden hour light near sunset, be it because of its location or orientation, but Tabula Rasa is great in this regard. It’s always nice to explore the grounds with the couple during this time, as it’s such an awesome opportunity to capture stunning garden wedding photos for them.

There is a lovely, boutique area for the bride and groom to mingle with guests during the cocktail hour, which is right across from the ceremony spot. This means that the transition from the ceremony is seamless, and photographers get to capture beautiful candid moments without missing a beat!

Bonus point! You are in great hands with the team at Tabula Rasa taking care of you, and their attention to detail from preparation to hosting the wedding is amazing.

What makes a great photoshoot location? Does the Tabula Rasa garden wedding venue fulfill those requirements?

The range of looks that can be achieved at the location is very important, and that’s the first thing I noticed when scouting out locations at Tabula Rasa. Besides being able to capture beautiful couple photos without having to travel off-site, this also adds more variety when it comes to wedding party photos, which is always welcome.
