In 1979, photographer Charlie Brooks purchased this turn-of-the-century church to use as his studio. The space is now a striking mix of modern strobes with period lamps and abstract backdrops layered over antique character. We invite you to a covered dish church dinner in the sanctuary where old family recipes are reinvented and served family style. Before dinner, enjoy a signature vintage cocktail and savory summer appetizers or pick up some props and disguises and get your portrait made in the photo booth. Throw in some live folk music and a modern dessert sampler to finish off an unforgettable evening.
