Raining Creativity: Our Pink-Drenched Philbrook Museum Shootout

Remember that time you thought a little drizzle could dampen our spirits? Ha! Clearly, you haven’t met the Develope Academy crew. We just turned Tulsa’s Philbrook Museum into our personal playground, and let me tell you, it was like stepping into a European fairytale… if that fairytale had a heavy dose of Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year and enough flowers to make your allergies cry uncle.

Setting the Scene: Philbrook’s Euro Vibes

Picture this: art-filled halls, lush gardens, and enough romance in the air to make even the most jaded wedding photographer swoon. The Philbrook Museum isn’t just a venue; it’s a whole mood. And we were there to capture every. single. texture.

Behind the Lens: Pink-tinted Magic

Despite the sky trying to rain on our parade (literally), we embraced our inner Elle Woods and painted the town pink. From a tented reception that screamed “luxury” to a ceremony setup so jaw-dropping it nearly broke Instagram, we pulled out all the stops.

Your fave dream team was there in full force: Charla Storey, Jennefer Wilson, Alison Heffington, and Julie Wilmes. Add in the creative genius of Ariana Simms from Aisle Be With You and Maxine Owens from Max Owens Floral Design, and baby, we had a stew going! 🍲

Picture Perfect: From Meh to Marvelous

Here’s the tea: anyone can take a pretty picture on a perfect day. But it takes real skill to create magic when the weather’s more “meh” than marvelous. That’s exactly what our Glowgetters did. They flexed those creative muscles, got efficient with their shooting, and turned overcast skies into the perfect diffuser for some seriously dreamy shots.

  1. Tell a Fluid Story: Your photos should flow like a well-crafted cocktail – smooth, with just the right kick.
  2. Keep it Real: Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s your secret weapon for creating emotion-packed images.
  3. Efficiency is Sexy: Learn to work smart and fast, because sometimes you’re racing against the rain (or hangry bridesmaids).
  4. Flex Those Creative Muscles: When life gives you clouds, make them your personal light diffuser.
  5. Quality Over Quantity: Show off your skills with a curated portfolio that screams “book me now!”

Our Glowgetters didn’t just leave with pretty pictures – they left with published images, elevated portfolios, and the confidence to attract high-end clients faster than you can say “destination wedding.” Plus, they got to hang with the Develope Academy team, which is basically like a master class and a party rolled into one. 🎉

Ready to join the glowup? This is just a taste of what goes down at Develope Academy. If you’re itching to level up your skills, attract dream clients, and join a community that’s more supportive than your favorite pair of Spanx, you know what to do.
