If you’ve been a follower of TVR in the past, you’ve probably come to notice what suckers we are for a great inspirational wedding photo shoot. Never is that more true than when we see a photo session with two impeccably dressed people set up in a space that’s bright, airy, and has a character all its own. And this is exactly that kind of shoot.
A sky-high living wall, loads of natural light, and a gorgeous combination of wood, brick, and modern white textures make Colony House a real stunner. One of Anaheim’s best kept secrets, this venue is the kind of place that makes you want to become a professional event space flipper. Is that a thing? Maybe we should make that a thing! That would certainly make for a fun reality show. Seriously though, the indoor and outdoor spaces both shine here, with options to party in a loft, a courtyard, a modern craftsman style room, or at the adorable bar.
