Dress Code

Black Tie

This is a proper occasion and we want to do it properly. Dinner jackets, bow ties, floor-length dresses — we want to look back at the photos and see everyone at their absolute best.

We know “black tie optional” can be ambiguous, so let us be clear: we would genuinely love everyone in black tie. If you don't own a dinner jacket, hiring one is easy and surprisingly affordable.

It's December in the North East — bring a warm coat for any outdoor photographs.
