Immersive, Narrative-Driven Experiences for Visionary Wedding Professionals

where vendors, attendees, and cast memberS make Creative calls.

we took the format of a styled shoot, put it on steroids, multiplied the creative direction by 100x and said, “we want input from everyone.”

A Canon Event transcends the average styled content shoot by instead providing a highly produced, story-driven experience from top to bottom for all participants—photographers, vendors, assistants, and cast members alike—who are challenged to push creative boundaries in their industries.

Each Canon Event is designed to intentionally foster collaboration and innovation at a large production scale through singular, narrative-driven events across the country with our top-tier vendors, cast members, production leads and attendees.

created for photographers, videographers, content creators, and Vendors.

EACH EVENT IS DIFFERENT BUT HERE’S WHERE WE STAY CONSISTENT

The one where we went to TEXAS

In June of 2024, Wedding professionals from across the United States gathered in Houston, Texas to take part in A Canon Event an immersive experience seeking to inspire artistic collaboration in the luxury wedding industry. The two-day event was hosted at La Colombe d’Or and Chateau Nouvelle by South Carolina photographers Sarah Curfman of Sarah Elizabeth Photography (@sarah_elizabethphotog) and Anna Bullock of Anna Katherine Creative (@annakatherine.creative) with support from wedding planner Morgan Williams of Morgan Williams Weddings (@morganwilliamsweddings).

Fueled by a cinematic vision, the team conceptualized multiple complex fashion-forward scenes and encouraged all their vendors to prioritize nontraditional decision-making throughout their creative process.

A Canon Event provided vendors, cast members, videographers and photographers in attendance the opportunity to create and experience authentic narrative-driven moments and ambitious visual world building that seeks to reimagine the luxury wedding landscape for couples and wedding professionals everywhere.

Wedding weekend
in one day

Crowe Mansion on Wednesday, November 12, 2025

Based on feedback from last year’s attendees and our own personal creative evolution we’re so excited to offer an experience at NEW Luxury Wedding Venue, Crowe Mansion this fall that allows attendees to capture 10 different wedding weekend scenes.

One hallmark of our Canon Events is that we bring in a full cast of characters who are invited to improv, act, and create moments on their own. Attendees are able to capture real, organic or directed moments unfold that gives you the rush and challenge of a real wedding day experience. In each scene we’ll have given models direction based on attendee input to interact. This round we’re creating 10 different uniquely designed scenes: 5 sequentially designed. 4 One-offs.

Stay tuned as we release more details, creative direction, and our vendor team.
