Brunch is where the magic happens—coffee brewing, mimosas flowing, and plates piling high with love. Capturing these in-the-moment shots reminds me why I adore what I do. From creating the perfect spread to watching guests savor every bite, it’s all about bringing joy to the table. ⁠🫶⁠

Where candlelight meets starlight

An intimate outdoor dining experience under a canopy of twinkling lights.

Every detail was thoughtfully curated to capture the romance of their special day, from the seasonal menu to the soft evening ambiance.

This is what magic looks like when an incredible team comes together 🤍

Ready to be mind blown?! This isn’t just a grazing board - it’s an edible topographic map

We use sacred geometry principles in our layouts (yeah, really). That bread placement? Golden ratio. Those height variations? Fibonacci sequence. The color blocking? Pure dopamine delivery.

Those artichokes aren’t just garnish - they’re conversation starters. Because sometimes the best networking happens over ‘wtf is that green thing?

New Year event hack: Book us. Actually enjoy your party. A Revolutionary concept, we know…

12/23/2024

We’re breaking salad stereotypes with organic micro greens, Asian pear ribbons, and yes, those are actually marigolds (which are both gorgeous AND edible).

Fun fact, edible flowers aren’t just pretty - they’re packed with antioxidants. Serving up nutrition with a side of drama. Your winter table could never be boring.

POV: When the grazing table hits ✨

Chef secret, we strategically light our food displays like art installations (peep that moody ambiance).

Negative space: the secret ingredient your plate’s been missing 🤍

This isn’t just plating - it’s visual psychology. That single chive? Strategic AF. The centered placement? Creates focus. The pristine white canvas? Makes your brain say excellence.

Kitchen nerd alert, We plate on white because your brain processes food faster against neutral backgrounds. Ever wonder why fine dining uses so much white? Now you know.

Swipe our top 3 pro plating rules:

Rule of thirds (yeah, like photography)
One clear focal point
Clean edges are non-negotiable

Menu design psychology: That forest green isn’t just pretty - it triggers feelings of abundance and luxury. Fun fact: Color can influence taste perception by up to 40%. We’re literally hacking your brain to make dinner taste better.Peep that sage napkin placement - there’s a reason it breaks the linear flow.

Design principle: Controlled chaos creates intrigue. Like everything we do, it’s perfectly imperfect by design.
