Recently, I had the opportunity to direct and produce a photoshoot for Élan, a stunning event venue and photo studio located in Owasso, Oklahoma. Working alongside venue owner Megan, their web developer Gina, and featuring a talented team of photographers and models, we set out to create a collection of visuals that truly showcase the space’s potential for both events and photography.
A Collaborative Vision
Élan is more than just a venue—it’s a blank canvas for creativity. Whether hosting a wedding reception, corporate gathering, or a styled photo session, the space offers elegance and flexibility. Our goal for the project was clear: capture the venue in its best light, showcasing its versatility and potential for clients looking for a refined, modern event space.
With Megan’s insight into the venue’s aesthetic, the web developer’s focus on branding, and my expertise in photography and event logistics, we coordinated a plan that would bring the space to life.
Bringing the Space to Life
To create a dynamic portfolio of images, we approached the project in two parts:
- Styled Photoshoot – We brought in photographers and models to demonstrate how Élan can be used as a professional photography studio. From portrait sessions to editorial shoots, we captured the venue’s ability to serve as a beautiful backdrop for any creative vision.
- Live Event – To fully illustrate the venue’s capacity for gatherings, we hosted an event, allowing us to capture real moments of people interacting with the space. This gave a genuine, lived-in feel to the final images, helping potential clients envision their own events at Élan.
The End Result
The end result is a stunning collection of visuals that not only showcase the venue’s design but also highlight its adaptability for various needs. These images will be used across Élan’s website and marketing materials to draw attention to the venue’s offerings and solidify its presence in the local event and photography community.
Why This Matters
For any venue, great photography is key to attracting the right clients. This project was more than just a photoshoot—it was a branding effort, a strategic move to tell Élan’s story in a way that resonates with potential clients. By collaborating with a strong team, we were able to create content that will have a lasting impact on the venue’s visibility and appeal.
