Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

You do you! Think of it like how you would dress for church. Depending on what church you attend this could mean, khakis, nice jeans, a button down, a polo, a suit jacket, a cute dress, a romper...whatever you want, really. Just know that if you show up in Nike shorts or hunting camo, this event will be heavily photographed and you will be haunted for years to come.

We look forward to seeing what moments everyone captures.
