The Venue & Collaborations

Cork & Crate Estates, known for its rustic elegance, was the perfect canvas for the day’s styled sets. Attendees had the opportunity to capture stunning wedding portraits brought to life by an incredible team of collaborators. The venue was transformed into a spring paradise, thanks to the hard work and vision of:

  • Prairie Chic Designs, Petal & Blum, and Among the Wildflowers, who created awe-inspiring floral arrangements.

  • MG Home Living and Floral Cowgirl Events, whose beautiful decor set the tone for every photoshoot.

  • The coordination of Tracy Hryszko from Rosewood Events, ensuring every detail was meticulously executed.




Wedding Photography Workshop Highlights: Capturing the Moments

Photographers were treated to a wide array of bridal sets, each offering unique elements for their portfolios. Models in full bridal attire posed in beautifully styled settings, and the collaborative energy between photographers and models created breathtaking results.


Attendees worked in small groups, allowing for intimate 1-on-1 sessions with the models, which led to truly personalized and memorable shots. Everyone had access to Baby Dream Backdrops and shooting guides, ensuring they got the most out of the experience. Educators were on hand, providing tips on posing and lighting to help photographers capture fresh, unique content throughout the day.


The Talent: Models, Stylists, and Artists

The day featured a talented group of professionals who brought the shootout’s vision to life. Bridal fashion from The Posh Boutique added a touch of elegance, with Indian wardrobe elements bringing cultural depth to many of the sets.

  • Models like Shweta Kapani, Fatima Bata, Sameer Dewji, Caliesta Rose Selnes, Jake Tamagi, Aleksandra Labinowicz, Travis Reynolds, Marlo Burke, and many more graced the venue with their stunning looks.

  • Hair stylists, including Jasmin Currie-Manuel, Creeative HMUA, and Shelby Bowser-Sinclair, ensured the models looked flawless, while makeup artists like Essence Beauty and Marissa Martin perfected each look.





More Than Just a Shoot: A Full Experience

In addition to photography, attendees enjoyed treats and surprises throughout the day. Delicious wedding cakes from CocoaTree and refreshing cocktails from Broken Oak Distillery kept everyone energized. Custom-designed cowboy hats from Ace High Hat Bar and henna art by Emerald Henna YYC added even more unique elements to the experience.


A Day to Remember

The Spring Fling 2024 Styled Wedding Shootout was a day of collaboration, creativity, and beauty. Photographers captured breathtaking moments, met fellow creatives, and expanded their portfolios in an inspiring and supportive environment.


Though the event is over, the memories and connections made will last a lifetime. Those lucky enough to attend left with not only stunning images but also the knowledge and inspiration to carry into future projects.
