Content Creation Shoot Days for your Wedding Business

Sunday 16th May 2021

The Asylum, Peckham

£250 per person

Planners, Celebrants, Florists and Cake-Makers… Get ready for the ultimate branding experience for your new wedding biz!

Here at The Wedding Rebellion, we know that showcasing your style AND you = booking your dream client, which is why we’re excited to launch a never-before-seen shoot day experience to make sure you can create incredible content whilst also gaining stand-out branding for your business. Perfectly balanced between a styled-shoot and a personal branding session, this is your ticket to gaining valuable images of the work you create, and you at work!

So how is it going to go down?

We’re running one, epic shoot day at The Asylum in Peckham. It’s a gorgeous venue, its big brownie points for SEO and couples flood to it for alternative ceremonies (normally with super-cool alternative receptions to follow!) There are just 16 tickets available to the event, with 4 tickets available to each supplier group and 4 ‘slots’ available on the day to choose from. Each two-hour slot will have one supplier from each group making up a ‘team’ – so 1x celebrant, 1x florist, 1x stylist and 1x cake maker.

As a team, you’ll be pulling together a gorgeous table setup, as well as a mini ceremony area based on the kick-ass concept we’ve dreamt up (much like you would with a real client). We’re bringing in a stunning real couple to work with you during your session who will be decked out in head-to-toe alternative wedding style, with the celebrant in your team delivering a mini ceremony and the cake being cut and eaten by them too!

But that’s not all.

One of the biggest take-aways from this shoot day (apart from drop-dead gorgeous content for your website and socials) is that the focus will also be on YOU – yep, we’ll be photographing you ‘behind the scenes’, setting and prepping your products, chatting and working with our couple PLUS you’ll be taken for a headshot session with an expert associate to get some totally fresh and bespoke branding.

More than a branding shoot. More than a styled shoot

How are we going to get you prepped for it?

The key here is that you’ll be booking with access to the concept from day dot, it’s alternative and bang-on trend but close to something you’d receive from a real client (ie, a colour palette and inspiration images but no images of exactly what they want you to create). You’ll then be assigned to your team and the four of you will have access to each other straight away – meaning you can collaborate on bringing that idea to life with your own creations.

New to the game? You’ll be sent a supplier specific PDF with tips and advice on how to prep; celebrants will also be able to speak to our model couple in advance to get to know them and help write a banging mini-ceremony!

We won’t be leaving you in the lurch though, you’ll also be given a 1 hour team zoom call with both Lex and Kate, a few weeks out from the shoot day, to help you pull together the final ideas and get you completely set for the session.

If you’re still wanting to know a little more – give our FAQ page a visit!

As part of our Collab//Create Day you’ll receive:

Candid, natural ‘at work’ images of you setting, prepping and/or delivering your product in an awesome alternative venue.
Your finished product (or for celebrants, you delivering it!) shot to submission standard, with a gorgeous real couple to boot.
Up to 20 professional headshot images for use across your website and social media platforms.
A collaborative learning experience working on a mini-shoot, with guidance from two experienced styled-shoot leaders.

A chance to showcase your own style, with the added value of having florals, styling, a real ceremony and a cake to tie it all together and make everything even more insta-worthy.
A shared gallery of 60-80 images of all of your products and your team at work, shot by Lex.
3 new contacts in the industry who you’ll have worked with closely and who will be able to help you grow your client pool!

We see you - Let's make sure your future clients can too.

THE VENUE

THE ASYLUM, PECKHAM

Without a doubt one of the coolest venues in the UK – this is where your work is going to get NOTICED.

Not only is this an iconic venue to boost your portfolio with, but it’ll also give you insider experience of a totally dry-hire venue, as well as helping to improve your SEO and presence on platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest.

During your session your team will have complete access to the whole space, meaning you’ll be gaining branding and shoot material that is highly coveted in the wedding industry!

Who we’re the perfect match for:

New wedding businesses wanting to give their portfolio a shot of wow-factor with an awesome concept in an incredible venue.

Celebrants, Cake-Makers, Planners and Florists wanting professional, relaxed headshots and invaluable behind-the-scenes photos.

Suppliers wanting to dip their toe in the water of a styled shoot without having to go it alone first time around!

We won’t be a great fit for:

Suppliers who aren’t up for working in a collaborative setting – yes, this day is all about YOU getting awesome shots, but as a team you’ll create something truly epic.

Wedding businesses who’d rather stay out of the limelight.

Anyone that loves chair covers.

The Concept

Sultry and Celestial with a Rock’n’Roll edge

To pay homage to The Asylum’s gothic urban vibe you’ll be creating your shoot based around this bold colour palette – with inky blues and mixed metallics, paired with golden and burnt oranges to bring some summery warmth and a bit of sparkle… Just like a wedding, we want you to be able to fully flex your creative muscles, so we’ve given you clues to what our real model couple will be dressed up in, with the florals, table setup, ceremony area and cake entirely up to you!

As a team you’ll pin down the finer details together, creating a totally unique final concept – so get ready to let your imagination run wild…

Got a burning question? We might already have the answer...

Isn’t this just a styled shoot?

It’s a styled shoot – and so. much. more. We’re not only giving you a gorgeous couple, awesome venue and epic concept, but we’re adding in the part that styled shoots always lack – YOU! Along with the product shots, the branding and ‘at work’ images that you’ll receive are an invaluable part of any wedding business; it’s a chance for your potential couples to see YOU doing what you do best, as well as getting to see the face behind your brand. Headshot sessions with professional photographers can be around £150 for just one hour and that’s not including any of the other awesome elements you’ll have access to on the day. Think of it as a styled-shoot-headshot hybrid with some bonus support from us along the way!

What will you provide on the day?

We’re bringing on a great team to support your shoot – our model couple will be decked-out in awesome alternative wedding wear, plus hair, makeup and accessories. You’ll also be provided with a table and chairs and 2x plinths for your ceremony area flowers as standard – but you’re welcome to bring extra decor items. We’ve also got a professional associate photographer joining Lex to shoot you and your setup, so you’ll have not one but TWO amazing photographers focused entirely on you!

What will happen during the 2 hour shoot?

You’ll have a 30 minute window ahead of your 2 hour slot start time to get unloaded and ready to go, you’ll then spend the next 2 hours moving between setting and shooting your products (or celebrants, delivering a mini ceremony) and going for your headshot session with our associate. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and Kate will be on hand to assist with any of your setup, with Lex giving you direction for photos and putting you at ease in front of the camera.

I’m a planner/stylist: do you have recommended suppliers for items I might need?

As part of your ticket, you’ll receive a PDF document with pointers on how to go about designing your creation for the shoot should you need it. This will include hints and tips from Kate on how she’s sourced items for shoots in the past. Details of the suppliers supporting such as bridalwear and makeup will be provided so you have credits when publishing your images, but otherwise this is a great opportunity to start building that network!

How do I know everyone on my team will have the same vibe?

Whilst we can’t guarantee exacting tastes, we know that everyone who is a part of The Wedding Rebellion loves an alternative wedding, and one of the most exciting parts of being a wedding supplier is working with new concepts, new couples and new businesses! You’ll have access to each other from early on in the process, so you can finalise the details of what you’re aiming for and create something everyone is happy with (plus, you’ll have a team zoom with Lex and Kate to iron out any bumps and make sure everyone is feeling totally prepped!)

Can I choose the time-slot I book on to?

Yes! When tickets go live you’ll be able to choose from one of the four slots available on the day: 10am-12pm, 12:30pm-2:30pm, 3:00pm-5:00pm and 5:30pm-7:30pm. Once a slot is gone, it’s gone, so make sure you’re ready to go when tickets launch!

What happens if there’s a lock-down / is this following gov guidelines?

If, due to the government imposing another lockdown (or measures to that effect), we are not able to hold the content day, you will have two options: 1. A full refund or 2. The option to hold your spot on the rescheduled date. We’ll be running the shoot days in line with government guidelines – this is marketing and branding for your business so it counts as work – and with a small team social-distancing will be easy. You will also need to wear a mask (Which you can remove when having your photo taken) and we’ll provide hand sanitiser.

Is there a payment plan available?

Yes! When you book you’ll just put down a £100 deposit to secure your spot, with the remaining £150 due in April.
