Back in November, I purchased a ticket for a styled wedding shoot. This shoot was held by Mirrorball Collective, a company who puts together various styled shoots for photographers to build their portfolio and collaborate with other vendors in the wedding industry. This particular event was in Chicago, an easily travelable distance from me in Lansing, Michigan. So we booked a hotel for a couple nights and set out on the road to the Windy City.


This was my first time attending a styled shoot set up by someone else. They had stations set up, divided us up into smaller groups, and rotated every 20 minutes. They had two sets of bride and groom models (couples in real life), as well as two solo bride models (Though, somehow I missed photographing one of those solo brides entirely. I don't understand how that happened).


These are the highlights of the many, many photos that I took from this event.
