AKP PHOTOGRAPHY RETREAT SWAG

A few things I love about hosting workshops are the amazing connections you make, the ability to pay it forward in such a competitive industry, and showering other creatives with gifts when they are so used to giving. I adore making my attendees feel special, and I was fortunate to collaborate with a number of amazing vendors and sponsors to wow each photographer that was present. I’m excited to have a few of them back for our upcoming AKP Sunny Retreat, and to add a few more into the mix. Take a look inside the AKP Rustic Retreat swag bag below and check at the bottom for links to snag your own items:

The swag BAG! This “Spread joy like confetti” tote was created by DreamState. We filled them to the brim!

Tags from Sincerely Amy Designs customized each parcel. A few things inside were our custom “You will make it happen..” tumblers, a “hello gorgeous” pocket mirror, and a floral crown from Love Sparkle Pretty. Each crown was unique, but cohesive to our workshop theme.

These fun confetti poppers made for a great end to our event! These were a personal DIY project, but a hit amongst the ladies.

We had a few guys present through the weekend. My fiance picked these Moscow Mule mugs as their gift. His style was spot on. ;)

Verde Studio also sent styling packs of vintage stamps for each bag-a great addition to any wedding photographer’s styling kit! I topped off the bags with handwritten notes on custom thank you cards by EAlexDesigns.

I hope you enjoyed looking through our goodies! These items would all make excellent stocking stuffers for any creative at Christmas time, so check out all the links below. I can’t wait to share what we are planning for swag at our OBX event next March! You’ll really want to “sea” what we have in store. ;)
