Episode Summary:

We turned a regular ol’ house into a black-and-white photo studio dreamland for our team appreciation night — and let me tell you, it was everything. Our studio crew + their partners came together for a night full of laughs, connection, and low-key chaos in the best way.

🍷 Wine bottles with team photos and melted candles made the cutest centerpieces
🍕 DIY pizza-making at a big communal table turned into a full-blown bonding moment
📸 Polaroids of each guest (yes, especially the goofy partner pics) doubled as place cards
🍹 We had a pro bartender on hand keeping the cocktails coming
🪑 Round tables made it easy for real convos instead of awkward small talk
⏰ The party was supposed to end at 9:30... we wrapped at 1am because vibes were too good
❤️ Getting to know everyone’s partners gave us a whole new level of appreciation
✨ These intimate, intentional gatherings hit different — no one gets lost in the crowd
