WHY
WE Created
Our workshops are designed to challenge our thinking and go beyond comfort zones so that we can make weddings a more personable experience for our couples.
We have planned three epic styled wedding concepts for you to capture until your heart is content. Each concept will be trend focused and floral driven, so we’ll experiment with two colour palettes, styles, and locations you can only dream of.
At the end of the day, it’s our goal to make it easier for ‘your people’ to find you through an expansive portfolio.
this workshop
with intention

Our workshops are design to change the way you think about wedding photography. We gathered our inspiration from fashion and homeware trends, as well as nature and experiences in life. Carefully crafted shoots to leave you wanting more.

+ 3 design-focused wedding shoots
+ 1 styled couple shoot
+ 6 couples to photograph in total

Yellow ELEGANCE
Neutral tones aren't going anywhere, but let's add a little spice with some yellow and tumeric as well!
Pops of blue
2023 trend alert! Coloured wedding outfits are on the rise, and we predict blue to play a huge part in couples visions for weddings in the future!
There's nothing we love more than a suit that makes a statement, so rest assured there will be a bold statement, a pop of colour and plenty of detail for this one!

We aim to produce the most epic content possible for you guys, however sometimes availability of our dream suppliers are limited or we have last minute disasters and a prop might not be available. We are all about creating trendy and current concepts here and don't want anyone making a decision on attending based on specific details of the shoots or appearance. We are super excited to share with you our concepts and visions, but no, you can't, soz!
Expression of interest is open now, head on over to our contact page to let us know you are keen! Tickets will open Tuesday 16th August and go to those who expressed interest with a cheeky early bird discount! There are just 12 tickets available!
This has never happened, and hopefully will NEVER happen. However, if it did, we will reschedule the workshop and cross check availability with all attendees and go with the majority. If you are unable to attend the new workshop date, your ticket will be refunded in full.
Yes, we can organise to split your payments, Just let us know if this would suit you.
Yes! We can invoice you either in AUD or NZD! You can also pay by card and will be charged in your home currency.
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect our costs involved in running this workshop due to turning away any other attendees for this space. However, we are totally here to talk through options, and you can totally transfer your ticket to a friend!
