Hello& Welcome

TheVision
Payton and I met on the set of a styled shoot that I (Rachel) organized in March of this year. Together with the rest of the team that collaborated on that shoot, our work was recently selected for digital publication in Confetti Magazine - one of Canada's largest wedding publications. While we are over the moon with the outcome of our first collaboration, we find that we are ready and fired up for this next collaborative opportunity. Our vision for this shoot is to create an elevated, whimsical, and elegant shoot with bold, showstopping, design elements. We are pushing ourselves to flex our creative mettle in order to create a well-designed and curated project that is thoughtfully put-together with beautiful and distinctive design elements that make a statement that we are not only proud to showcase in our respective portfolios but that will make this shoot a strong contender for a publication in print.

We reaching out to you specifically because we genuinely admire your work and we would like to collaborate with you on this project. We have a genuine appreciation and respect for you and the high quality work you do and we think that you would be perfect to partner with on this project

While the ultimate goal for this collaboration is to see it published in print, we also recognize the important auxiliary benefits that an opportunity like this affords us It is an opportunity for us to create, build, and strengthen, genuine, authentic, and long-lasting connections that help to enrich our respective networks as we connect with fellow, likeminded, and, well-respected wedding professionals. It also gives us the opportunity to have fun creating work that isn't tied to client expectations so that we can have a chance to showcase new and original work as we seek to hone and perfect our skills as we master our respective crafts We believe that you are a highly skilled wedding professional who would be a great asset to have working on this project in your domain of expertise and we believe that we would work really well together in creating a beautiful photo shoot.
OurObjective
In consultation and in agreement with Payton, I (Rachel) have created a Pinterest board that best represents what we envision for this photo shoot. I have gathered pins that cover all of the areas we would like to showcase in this styled shoot and I invite you to look at each section of the Pinterest board so that you can get a good idea of the overall feel and vision we for this shoot Here is the link: "A Love Like No Other" Styled Shoot Vision Board.
Accompanying this proposal is the design brief and floral package, graciously put together by Payton, that outlines in greater detail all of the design elements we are looking to incorporate in this shoot, the flowers that we will be using, as well as the colour palette for this shoot Between Payton's design brief and floral package as well as my collaboration proposal, we feel that you will likely have a very clear understanding of what our intentions and objectives are for this project. Together, we will create stunning work that will elevate the standing of our current portfolios, showcase our excellence and skill to potential and future bride and, ensure that our photo shoot is a strong contender for a print publication!
Once we have completed the photo shoot, I will submit the images to the publications listed below in the hopes that we would be selected to be featured. While I cannot guarantee that we will indeed be selected for publication, I do believe that the calibre of work we produce will make us strong candidates for publication

There is no denying that being published would be deeply satisfying because it would be the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication finally paying off - and that moment would definitely be one worth savouring as it would be well-earned. A lesser known but extremely valuable benefit of being published outside of the favourable publicity is the fact that being published improves our respective SEOs and helps bloster our online presence. Having these backlinks from other websites that redirect back to our respective websites helps us all to rank higher in Google searches and this has the great potential to increase our leads and inquiries exponentially and consistently over time. While the initial buzz and media hype of being published will eventually settle, having strong SEO backlinks from other websites will continue to pay dividends well beyond the initial publication.
With regards to when and where the styled shoot should take place, Payton has been in discussion with Morgan - owner of Saskatchewan's brand new wedding venue, The Station in Pilot Butte - and Morgan has graciously agreed to let us make use of the newly constructed glass atrium. The artrium has the perfect modern look that will perfectly complement the overall look and feel we are going for with this shoot. As we envision the majority of the photo shoot taking place inside of the atrium, we have settled on Sunday, October 01st, 2023 as the proposed date for this styled shoot. We hoping that setting the date for this shoot in October would make our shoot suitable for a print publication as we would be submitting images that are timely and in season. Our goal is to hopefully secure a Fall publication, however, this is ultimately at the discretion of the publication .

We think that you would be the perfect fit for this project as we are looking to collaborate with excellent wedding professionals of the highest calibre, such as yourself, who would be willing to offer their services in their respective area of experise in order to help ensure the success of this photo shoot We feel that having you contribute to this project would be a key element in helping to make this styled shoot a beautiful and compelling contender for publication so, we would love to work with you!
