The Bohemian Garden
A unique bespoke event at The Hacienda, London
Director / stylist: Chiara Elisabetta (me!)

Hello Purpleport!

This is the first time I'm casting publicly for this event - 14 of 16 sessions over four full days have sold already via my Facebook group, but I'm putting a casting out here for these two remaining sessions at my huge upcoming event at The Hacienda studio, London 'The Bohemian Garden'  

This is by far the largest scale styled event I have ever planned & hosted, and quite possibly will ever plan..



Remaining availability as is follows:

• Saturday 2nd November:

- ONE remaining night time 4hr session, 4pm-8pm (pretty romantic ambient lighting, string lights, candles, lanterns, festoon lights..) on Saturday 2nd November with models, (pictured below from left to right) - Angel (Angel. ), Faranas (Fara 🌞 ) & myself (❀ Chiara Toulouki Elisabetta ) - £400 all in - please message me now to book!

• Monday 4th November:

- ONE remaining day time 4hr session, 11am-3pm (natural light & hopefully a little sparkly sunshine) on Monday 4th November with models, (pictured below from left to right) - Ayla (Ayla ), Joel (Joelakalimit ) & myself (❀ Chiara Toulouki Elisabetta ) - £400 all in - please message me now to book!

The £400 fee is inclusive of booking three models per session, large stunning London location, lighting, vintage bohemian styling from All About Audrey Vintage Boutique, over £2k worth of set design, (including a handmade log cabin set with raised wooden veranda & steps, beautiful boho banquet picnic table, real open fireplace, cosy teepee canopy with bed, hammock, pretty wrought iron garden furniture, floor cushions, flowers, vines, palm trees..) a handmade official invitation and of course a generous donation to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home via our fundraising page, which is the Hacienda's charity of choice this year..

Each session has two photographers and three models. No-one is waiting to shoot, and every photographer gets to shoot with each model on their own, all combinations of duos and of course all three models together..
There is enough space for everyone as there are 6 completely different sets, spread over two rooms, one room is a huge 45ft long.

Here is the Hacienda's main room as it is before decoration and Bohemian Garden installation...!

My partner, Simone Orsini and of course studio owner, sean121 will be on hand for a few behind the scenes images, (if you'd prefer to not be in any BTS shots, please let me know) but mainly assistance should you want it - ie. lighting or other, holding reflectors, wafting fabric, operating smoke machine, etc.
We will also have a videographer, jhphotography shooting behind the scenes video for a film to remember..!
Please rest assured that BTS photographer / videographer will not get in the way of your shots :) 
 
Please do feel free to ask any more questions or contact me to book.. this is the biggest event with the most beautiful styling I have ever planned or am likely to ever plan..
In regards to payment, I am taking a 50% (£200) deposit now, and the remaining £200 in the last two weeks of October at your convenience.

If you have already been following my group on Facebook, thank you all for your support so far! 🌴🍂🌸📷
If you would like to join my Facebook group, you can do so here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thebohemiangarden/ - you don't need to book a session to join the group; it's open for all. I started the group to document all the physical work / building / making / collecting / painting / sewing, etc. I have put in so far and for people to follow the progress over the past few months if they so wish.. (I started planning and work on this event back in June after originally having to postpone for a few months due to health issues)

With little over 3 weeks to go now, I am incredibly excited and look forward to hopefully seeing you there!

Thanks kindly,

Chiara / Toulouki

Finally, a few images inspired by the mood & styling, from left to right - Faranas & I, me on my own, Joel & I.. (NB: I have a range of realistic wigs as my hair is just starting to grow back from chemotherapy treatment and is currently only 2cm long, but this does make me incredibly versatile right now!)
