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
LISA VIGLIOTTA PHOTOGRAPHY
Created and Styled by Lisa Vigliotta of Lisa Vigliotta Photography, this unique workshop is part Styled Bridal Editorial, Porfolio Builder, Industry Mixer, Performance Art and Event...with a few surprises along the way...and a whole lot of friendly faces and yummy food. Putting a Styled Shoot together is a lot of work, so Lisa's done all the work so you don't have to! Designed to encourage an atmosphere of collaboration rather than competition, Lisa firmly believes the creatives within the wedding industry are stronger together in community. Lisa will lead Photography Attendees through a full wedding day with a model Bride & Groom at a real wedding venue with 6 + 1 Styled Shoots:
