In-Person Workshop at Basil Place OH
July 8th Classic, July 7-9th VIP 2025
DAY ONE (VIP ONLY)
We’ll kick things off with speed dating & getting to know one another, then break for lunch before diving into The Cannons Consistency session. After that, we’ll open the floor for an Open Group Q&A or Hotseats.
Then it’s time to prep gear and get ready for shoots, followed by a little afternoon snack & down time. We’ll grab some pizza before going through walk through groupings & directions. Then we’ll shoot detail styling, the tablescape, and the ceremony setups. We’ll wrap up with location details, a headshot swap, and a full group shoot with the model. We'll end the day with ice cream!
We’ll start the morning with showcases rotation, breakfast, and vendors arriving to set up. Once everyone arrives, we’ll roll into an open Q&A, then go over the Editorial Must-Have Shot List and do an inspo gathering demo. You’ll have time to gather editorial inspo and use the open workshop time before we break for lunch.
In the afternoon, we’ll dive into a detail styling + tablescape demo (think straight-on, shoes, no florals, with florals!). Then we’ll walk through groupings & directions, style more details while models get hair and makeup, and shoot the rehearsal table with Couple 1, ceremony, and reception table details.
Next up: Courtney's posing + tablescape demo, a quick break and dinner, and then the magic—ceremony and reception with Couple 1, a headshot swap around the property, bridal or couple shots at the front, and some Bridal Black content. We’ll wrap with late-night snacks, goodbyes, and a cozy girls night pow wow.
Since we only have a select number of tickets available, we'll be making time to ensure that we answer every question that you have personally. We're here to make sure that you get exactly what you need from our workshop experience together.
The Wedding Day Blueprint Workshop is an intimate, hands-on experience designed to help you elevate your entire wedding experience. If you're looking to elevate your knowledge beyond the basics, this is the workshop for you. We are teaching the exact strategies we've used before, during and after each wedding to scale the overall value of our wedding collections overtime.

"I’ve had the joy of attending several styled shoots hosted by The Cannons Photography, and each experience has been amazing. Every shoot is thoughtfully curated–from detailed flatlays, complete tablescapes, and lush florals. Their shoots are always well planned and structured with small groups and ample time at each station. I always feel like I walk away with elevated images to add to my portfolio, AND new connections with other photographers and vendors! Beyond the shoots, Courtney and Robert are incredible educators. They lead with kindness, are always encouraging, and genuinely care about helping photographers grow. No matter the topic, I always leave with new nuggets of wisdom and practical takeaways that I can integrate into my business. I love being a part of the community they have created!"

Beyond the shoots, Courtney and Robert are incredible educators
"I have been to a dozen styled shoots, some ringing in the thousands and some as low as a few hundred dollars, and none come in comparison to the shoots that the Cannons put on. One of the best things that set her shoots apart are the small group sizes and TIME. You have TIME to play around, you have TIME to get creative, you have TIME to get the perfect shot you're looking for, and you have TIME to learn a new skill that you might not have time to practice on a wedding day or at other styled shoots.
But even better than that, you have Courtney's skill and experience. She can help you practice and master those new skills or even teach you new ones! I've been photographing weddings for over 10 years, and I still learned so much from her. She is the perfect teacher and helps when you need help and steps back when you want to do it on your own. But she is always there if you need her."

One of the best things that set the shoots apart are the small group sizes and TIME
For the MAIN shoot on July 8th there will be 3-5 people per group. We want to keep the groups small so that each of you has opportune time and space to photograph the details and the couple. This way you don't feel rushed and have the time and space to get creative with your shots as well.
This varies depending on the shoot. The larger shoots will allow for detail time and time with the couple, most of our rotations are 20-30 minutes for time to get creative and be intentional.
Yes for the July 8th shoot lunch and dinner is included for the VIP experience lunch and dinner are included on July 7th, breakfast lunch and dinner on July 8th, and breakfast on July 9th.
Lodging is included for the VIP experience only on the evening of July 7th and July 8th. Lodging is not included for the July 8th Grace in motion only ticket.
Courtney will schedule your 90 minute call with you in 2025, you will need to send her a portfolio gallery for your curation, and she will send you the loom video by August 29, 2025.
You will see a in real life demonstration of the Cannons approach to posing a couple, photographing a table scape, and photographing details. The Cannons will also teach their intentional shooting and planning method to make the most out of a shoot and a wedding day.

Based in their hometown in Ohio (where the two were high school sweethearts!), they now travel coast to coast photographing elevated destination weddings & engagements for their kind-hearted couples in love. Guided by their one core principle—to find their people, and love them well— these two former music teachers have grown their business from a $25 mini-session side hustle into a powerhouse brand, now commanding over $12,000 a wedding. Still teachers at heart and fueled by the desire to help other photographers build sustainable, servant-hearted businesses that last, they founded The Graceful Gathering Conference in 2020 which has hosted hundreds of photographers from all over the country. They have since gone on to launch their six-figure Mastermind and Coaching programs, continuing to pour into their people… all while showing them that it IS possible to work hard and build a balanced life you love.
