OUR WHY

After seeking local workshops around the Columbus area, we realized there was a lack of resources and a huge need for continuing education in our rapidly growing city. As new talent emerges, we see the opportunity to provide something no one else is doing. By combining Courtney’s love for events & styling, and Allison’s heart for education, Atelier Gathering was born.

  • DAY ONE

    STYLED SHOOT
    THE KINGWOOD GARDENS

    Day one kicks off with a Styled Shoot packed with beautiful content! Think timeless chateau elegance in the heart of Ohio! The day will be broken up into stations across the entire property, and you will partner up with a small group to capture all the content you can dream of! Romantic floral landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for our three unique styled sets. Two couples (one real, one professional) and one editorial bridal look, all designed to inspire and elevate your portfolio.

  • DAY TWO

    EDUCATION & NETWORKING
    DARBY HOUSE

    Everyone knows we are better together. We are excited to open Day two up to all wedding industry vendors for this day packed with education and networking opportunities! Come build relationships with some of the best vendors in the Columbus market! We have an incredible speaker line up to inspire you and help you achieve your business goals. There will be opportunities to break into smaller groups for round table discussions with industry professional speaking on building your business, marketing, improving photography skills, and more!
