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.
Each lovely lady took a pair of Kate Spade earrings home. <3
The House of Flynn sponsored our workshop and gave us a limited edition bag to give away. Laurel Hill Photography walked away a VERY happy winner!
Baked by Cari sent duos of french macaroons, adorned with more beautiful calligraphy tags by Sincerely Amy Designs. Attendees also received desk prints from both Lara Casey Shop and Laura Hooper Calligraphy!
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. ;)
