Niagara 2020

 

A ROMANTIC RETREAT STYLE PORTFOLIO BUILDING WORKSHOP FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS + FLORISTS

Wednesday, May 27, 2020 at Willowbank Mansion in Niagara

 

Set within the romantic picturesque landscape of Niagara, for one day we will step back into the world of Pride & Prejudice, and into a modern retelling of the Georgian Era. Inspired by this 1834 masterpiece of Upper Canadian Villas, Willowbank Mansion will be our home for the day where both Photographers and Florists will work alongside one another to build their wedding portfolios, make wedding industry connections and be recharged and refreshed by the beauty we create together. This will be a carefully curated soft and romantic old world Editorial Bridal Shoot featuring two stunning gowns with bespoke detailing, velvet settees and luscious summer fruits of figs, berries and peaches to set the stage. Colour Palette: Plums, Pinks, Blush, Peach, Gold and old world wooden furniture

WORKSHOP HOSTS
