With summer officially upon us, I’ve been dreaming up ocean views & BBQs, afternoons sipping beer & sunny mornings… and thinking back to one of my favorite events I had the privilege to photograph last summer. Between pregnancy, newborn life, & moving, I am finally going through the backlog of images waiting to be shared, and Garden & Gun‘s B4 Weekend in Boca Grande, FL is one of those events. I was so honored to capture this weekend of Beach, Bourbon, Beer, & BBQ at the Gasparilla Inn – a summer foodie paradise, truly. You know I was in heaven! Plus, the G&G team and Gasparilla Inn staff were absolutely incredible to work with!

The weekend featured chefs from throughout the nation offering some of the most incredible food – classy beachside BBQs, mixology classes, pool bingo & beer fun, and culminating with a farm-to-table themed beautifully styled dinner. Every element was perfectly thought out & no detail was left uncovered. What an amazing experience!
