Wildflower Haze Wedding Styled Shoot
For the wedding chronicler who prefers the scenic route, welcome to Wildflower Haze.
On Tuesday, August 11th, step beyond the expected and into a wedding experience designed for creatives who crave something different.
Wildflower Haze is a one-day immersive wedding experience created for photographers, videographers, and content creators who are looking for something beyond the typical styled shoot. Hosted by Ryder House Design Co. at The Boardwalk Venue in Benton Harbor, Michigan, the event blends native Michigan wildflowers, layered editorial design, and elevated cannabis elements to create imagery that feels fresh, cinematic, and impossible to find anywhere else.
Unlike most styled shoots, this is designed to feel like a real wedding day. Guests will be present throughout the experience, creating the candid interactions, ceremony moments, cocktail-hour conversations, and celebratory atmosphere that are often missing from traditional portfolio events.
Attendees will have access to three distinct creative environments:
🌼 Wildflower Haze — A colorful, immersive mock wedding featuring a ceremony, guests, reception details, and natural storytelling opportunities throughout the day.
🌿 Verdant Reverie — A romantic micro-wedding editorial with lush florals, mismatched crystal, layered textures, and refined botanical styling.
🌸 Veil & Bloom — An intimate bridal boudoir editorial set inside The Boardwalk’s iconic Bridal Dome, featuring soft lace, flowing fabrics, wildflowers, and subtle cannabis-inspired details.
From wide wedding-day scenes to editorial portraits and detail-rich flat lays, the event is built to provide a wide range of portfolio opportunities in a single day. Whether your style leans documentary, editorial, fine art, or content-focused, Wildflower Haze offers the freedom to experiment, create, and leave with images that stand apart from the ordinary.
If your favorite work happens when you step off the beaten path, this experience was made for you.
3 Sets • 1 Venue • Endless Portfolio Opportunities
🌼 Wildflower Haze
Wildflower Haze is an immersive styled wedding experience inspired by Michigan’s native wildflowers and the artistry of locally cultivated cannabis. Designed to mirror the energy and emotion of a real wedding day, this set will feature a ceremony, guests, reception details, and genuine interactions throughout the experience.
Vibrant florals, flowing chiffon, colorful glassware, and playful styling details create a joyful atmosphere that feels both whimsical and refined. From candid guest moments to romantic couple portraits, attendees will have the opportunity to capture the full story of a wedding day while exploring a fresh, botanical-forward perspective on modern celebrations.
🌿 Verdant Reverie
Verdant Reverie is a romantic micro-wedding editorial centered on lush florals, layered textures, and intimate design. Built around a rich palette of purple, green, and gold, this set highlights purple coneflower, Queen Anne’s lace, and subtle cannabis accents woven throughout the floral story.
Featuring an elegant tablescape with mismatched crystal, lace details, curated stationery flatlays, and refined botanical elements, Verdant Reverie offers endless opportunities for detail-focused imagery. Designed for creatives who appreciate artistry in the finer details, this set captures the beauty of a smaller celebration with a strong editorial perspective.
🌸 Veil & Bloom
Nestled inside The Boardwalk’s distinctive Bridal Dome, Veil & Bloom is an intimate bridal boudoir editorial exploring softness, texture, and quiet romance. The dome’s sculptural cement interior provides a striking backdrop for layers of lace, sheer fabrics, flowing veils, and organic botanical details.
Wildflowers and subtle cannabis-inspired touches contribute to an atmosphere that feels feminine, modern, and effortlessly romantic. Designed to celebrate bridal beauty through an editorial lens, Bloom & Veil invites attendees to create imagery rich in emotion, texture, and storytelling.

Summer Learning Series: Flash Forward with Chrissy
Mastering the Iconic 90s Direct Flash Wedding Photography Look
Hosted and instructed by Chrissy Marsman of Chrystin Melanie Photography
Join us at MI Studio Space on Tuesday, September 15th from 5:30-8:30pm for an immersive, hands-on wedding photography workshop dedicated to one of the most requested styles in modern wedding photography: the bold, nostalgic, editorial-inspired 90s direct flash look.
From celebrity paparazzi aesthetics to Vogue-inspired wedding imagery, direct flash has made a major comeback. This workshop will teach photographers how to confidently use flash as a creative tool, not just a solution for dark spaces.
You’ll learn how to create crisp, high-contrast images with punchy highlights, defined shadows, vibrant colors, and that unmistakable “caught in the moment” energy that couples are loving right now.
