Giando on the Water, nestled in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, provided the stunning backdrop for an exquisite surprise bridal shower brunch, which I covered for three hours. The event, exclusively attended by 60 women who were friends and family and the bride-to-be, showcased impeccable attention to detail.

The venue was transformed into a visual delight, with elaborate decor and sumptuous spreads of food. Every corner boasted intricate touches that complemented the occasion's celebratory nature. A dedicated photo backdrop served as a canvas for capturing posed photos, while games and prizes gave ample opportunity to capture fun candids.

Here are some of my favorite images from this session (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
