Introducing the Rustic Rock and Roll Portfolio Builder: A Styled Shoot Experience Like No Other

If you’ve been craving something different—a portfolio shoot that isn’t just about pretty details but has real soul, style, and grit—then we’ve got something special lined up for you. Welcome to the Rustic Rock and Roll Portfolio Builder, hosted by Shutter Circle’s very own Nik and Luke, and set against the stunning backdrop of Swanley Meadows, Cheshire’s newest and most magical tipi venue.

This isn’t just another styled shoot. It’s an immersive, full-throttle, creatively-charged photography experience designed to elevate your portfolio, challenge your creativity, and connect you with like-minded photographers who love a little edge with their elegance.

✨ The Concept: Rustic Meets Rock and Roll

Set in the heart of Cheshire, Swanley Meadows is an awe-inspiring new venue that blends festival vibes with natural beauty. Think: towering tipis, open skies, wild grasses, and boho décor… but with an unapologetic rock and roll twist. Guitars, leather jackets, messy hair, and whiskey-kissed vibes. It’s rustic romance, but with attitude.

And to keep things real, we’re not working with models this time—we’re featuring two real-life married couples, giving you the chance to capture raw emotion, authentic chemistry, and storytelling at its finest.

📸 What to Expect

We’re all about quality over quantity. That’s why we’re keeping it tight, with only 10 spots available per session for this exclusive event—split between two immersive 4-hour sessions: one in the morning light and the other in the afternoon.

Each session is limited to just 10 photographers per group, giving you space to shoot, time to compose, and the opportunity to direct your vision—without having to jostle for the perfect shot.

Here’s what’s included:

• 🔥 A fully styled, professionally curated tipi setup with rustic-meets-rebel details. Think leather jackets, rockabilly music, ripped lace, smoke bombs, and whiskey tumblers on wooden tables.
• 💑 Two real married couples, styled to perfection with full access to the tipi and surrounding grounds for both romantic and editorial-style shots.
• 🎯 Guidance and support from Nik and Luke, who will be on-hand throughout to help with lighting, posing, angles, and any creative blocks.
• 🍕 Wood-fired pizza for lunch during the day session, or snacks and refreshments for the evening shoot.
• 🍺 The bar will be open, serving tea, coffee, soft drinks, and—for the rockers among you—a cheeky beer while you shoot.

🔥 Why This Portfolio Builder Is Different

If you’ve attended styled shoots before, you’ll know they’re not all created equal. Some feel staged. Some feel rushed. And too many miss the mark when it comes to true emotion and intentional storytelling.

Here’s why this one’s different:

• We’re not shooting with models. These are real couples with real chemistry.
• The shoot is built around collaboration, not competition. With small groups and a supportive team vibe, you’ll have room to create and grow.
• The setting is not just “nice”—it’s next-level inspiring. Swanley Meadows is brand new to the scene, giving your work an edge with fresh backdrops that haven’t already flooded Instagram.
• You’ll walk away with images that are editorial, emotive, and utterly unique—perfect for attracting your dream clients who vibe with the festival/boho/alt-wedding aesthetic.
