If you follow any type of wedding vendor on social media, chances are you’ve seen photos of a styled shoot. A styled shoot is basically exactly what it sounds like, a team of vendors use their creativity and expertise to create a fake wedding, and use the photos of their “product” for brand promotion! The photos included in this blog are from a styled shoot that Mint To Be Weddings designed and coordinated a couple years ago!
Styled shoots are a really great thing to do for many reasons! They can really get all the vendors’ creative juices flowing. Usually the planner gives the vendors a design board with the vision, and then they can take that vision and run with it! So, it’s really great practice for when a bride/ client wants to do something different.
Another reason is that styled shoots gives vendors the opportunity to work with and meet other companies in the industry that maybe they otherwise wouldn’t meet, or just haven’t met yet. It’s great for networking and getting your name out there!
It is also great practice to work with other vendors closely. This helps makes our clients wedding days more seamless when all vendors work well together to create a vision!
Styled shoots also give us an excuse to try new things we haven’t seen or done before for a wedding. We can do riskier designs, or different photography poses or styles than we normally stick with!
All in all, styled shoots are so much fun, and benefit all vendors involved in multiple ways!
