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

    EDUCATION & NETWORKING
    JORGENSEN FARMS, OAK GROVE

    Day one is packed with education and networking opportunities for photographers and planners. Come build relationships with some of the best vendors in the Columbus market! We have three talented speakers sharing on how to establish your brand, connect with community to grow your business, elevating your social media presence and more! The day will be filled with pretty rentals and comfy seating provided by Aiden & Grace, beautiful florals and a delicious meal provided by Jorgensen Farms. A day sure to leave you encouraged and excited for day 2!

  • DAY TWO

    STYLED SHOOT
    THE COLUMBUS MUSEUM OF ART

    Day Two kicks off with a Styled Shoot packed with content! The day will be broken up into stations and you will partner up in photographer/planner pairs to capture all the content you can dream of! A beautiful professional model, a lush table scape, invitation suites, and a details station will be set. Planners will have the opportunity to create their own table designs with a wide array of BBJ linens, PR Rentals, and multiple centerpieces by Lemonwood Florals to choose from. It is an experience unlike anything else and sure to spark creativity!
