Capturing Floral Magic: Instant Photo Memories at Velvet Floral’s Pop-Up Workshop
The week before Valentine’s Day, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful pop-up flower bouquet-making workshop by Velvet Floral, hosted at Casa Cactus. The event was a perfect blend of creativity, community, and stunning florals, and I was thrilled to provide instant photo keepsakes for guests as they designed their own bouquets.
Bringing Instant Photography to a Hands-On Experience
Workshops like this are all about the experience—selecting flowers, arranging them with care, and enjoying the process of creation. Adding instant photography to the mix gave attendees a tangible way to remember the day. Each guest received an instant photo of themselves with their handcrafted bouquet, a moment frozen in time before their floral creation made its way home.
Why Instant Photos Were a Hit
The instant prints were more than just souvenirs—they became part of the event’s charm. People loved the vintage feel of the images, the warm tones, and the fact that they walked away with a one-of-a-kind keepsake. The tactile nature of instant photography complemented the hands-on energy of the workshop, making the experience even more special.
One guest said to me, “Now when my bouquet is gone, I still have this to remember!”
The Perfect Collaboration
Velvet Floral’s artistic approach to florals, combined with the inviting space at Casa Cactus, created the ideal backdrop for my instant photo services. The natural light, the earthy tones, and the vibrant blooms all worked together to make every shot feel effortlessly beautiful.
Looking Ahead
This event was a great example of how instant photography can enhance creative gatherings. Whether it’s a floral workshop, a market pop-up, or a private event, instant photos add a personal touch that digital images just can’t replicate.
