The Desert Bridal Gala - Editorial Event




Our biggest event and an editorial I've been dreaming of for years is coming to life! On April 30, 2022 we are heading to the Oregon dunes on the coast with TEN models in bridal wear from golden hour through blue hour for a dreamy, gala-inspired event. This shoot is set up for both beginners and established photographers who want to refresh their portfolio at an event featuring BPOC & LGBTQ+ models, curated for those who have been searching for a relaxed environment with supportive peers.

2020-2021 taught us to roll with the punches, with the unexpected and to be more flexible than ever. Be PROUD of this skill, but now let us take the planning on our shoulders and provide a space for you to finally just create. These events will allow you to capture three unique sets of content in a relaxed setting along the beautiful, Oregon Coast. This event has been designed to cater to those looking for opportunities for publication and to add some unique bridals into their portfolios.

During the event, photographers will have the opportunity to shoot models as groups and individually. At out events, rather than following an assigned shooting schedule, we follow the simple rule of respecting each other's time and space. In other words, be aware of the amount of time you're spending with an individual model to allow others to work with them and you as well. If everyone practices this, the event will run smoothly and everyone will have the opportunity to collect/lead/direct and capture their desired shots. This system has worked seamlessly throughout our past events!

We will shoot rain or shine through sunset and blue hour. (Mood board below)
