When a creative crew comes together, beautiful things start to happen. Especially in the wedding industry. Sawyer Baird + Danielle Poff combined forces last spring to put on a total dream of a workshop for photographers. Evoking natural beauty + a farm-to-table feel throughout, this hilltop shoot to come from it could totally inspire an elopement, intimate wedding, or even e-sesh photos.

Sawyer says, Elysian the Workshop is a workshop for thriving photographers. It was inspired by two creative minds bringing their different styles together to create with intention. We decided on the Northern Coast of California because beautiful things are literally everywhere. The rocky shores, rolling hills, misty skies, and beautiful trees… what better place? On the property we enjoyed fresh cheeses, herbs, and the real farm to table feel. It was a place where you were really able to focus on your inner artist. So blissful.

Sarah Park Events did such an amazing job putting together these outfits, location scouting, and designing the overall feel of the shoot. Wilder Floral Co just took it away with the amazing florals. So simple, sweet, and stunning… as all of her work always is!
