Bainbridge Garden Party

There’s something truly great about an ordinary garden party that decides to go above and beyond, and it’s a privilege for me to capture these moments in people’s lives. I got to shoot this delightful summer evening in Bainbridge, where a simple backyard garden gathering was transformed into a fundraiser for the Mayo Clinic. For all you Bainbridge residents, here’s a glimpse of the unforgettable garden party overlooking the water with the city in the distance.

Turning Simple into Spectacular

The joy of a garden party lies in its simplicity, but every now and then, it takes a fun turn. Accordingly, this particular gathering was no exception. What began as a backyard get-together turned into a fundraiser for the Mayo Clinic, where everyone reveled in mingling and celebrating the summer evening with friends.
