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 OHIO STATEHOUSE

    Day one kicks off with a Styled Shoot packed with content! The day will be broken up into stations, and you will partner up with a small group to capture all the content you can dream of! There will be a lush serpentine tablescape, an invitation suite, a cake, and a beautiful couple who will model for the day. A little surprise bonus: there will also be a professional model for bridal portraits.

  • DAY TWO

    EDUCATION & NETWORKING
    THE ELLIS IN ITALIAN VILLAGE

    Everyone knows we are better together. Day two is packed with education and networking opportunities for photographers and other wedding creatives. Come build relationships with some of the best vendors in the Columbus market! We have talented speakers lined up to inspire you and help you achieve your business goals.
