The Ceremony Series: Volume I
A CINÉ Retreats Production | Ft. Sophie Kaye, Anna Lord, Perfectly Styled Studio, Madeline Eleanor
September 9–10, 2025, Murrells Inlet, SC
A couture wedding production for artists at the highest level.
Directed like a film. Styled like a campaign. Captured across iconic coastal backdrops.
Over two cinematic days, you’ll capture a complete wedding weekend—welcome parties, floral-drenched ceremonies, sailboat farewells, and couture bridal moment. Every frame is built to look like a $200K+ real celebration, with couture fashion, agency-repped models, and editorial-level production design.
Beyond bridal, you’ll capture:
→ High-fashion campaign imagery
→ Commercial-ready product work
→ Luxury lifestyle and travel storytelling
Every scene is styled for beauty—but built for you to make it your own.
Featuring Guest Mentors: Sophie Kaye, Anna Lord, Perfectly Styled Studio + Madeline Eleanor
Attendees will have the rare opportunity to shadow a renowned creative team including photographer Sophie Kaye, filmmaker Anna Lord, stylist Perfectly Styled Studio, and HMUA Madeline Eleanor as they shoot a live editorial production for top-tier publication.
You’ll observe their process in real time, join them for an intimate keynote and Q&A, and connect throughout the retreat during shared meals and moments of downtime.
Limited to 12 creatives:
6 photographers + 6 filmmakers
Featuring agency-signed models across every scene
Each look styled for timelessness, variety, and high editorial impact
This isn’t a styled shoot.
This is ultra-luxury, unlocked—and an invitation to create far beyond the wedding world.

FAQ
Are meals included?
Yes. All meals, snacks, and beverages will be provided throughout the retreat. From sunrise coffee to dinner on the final evening, you’ll be fully taken care of.
Are there any additional costs?
No hidden fees. The only potential extras are travel-related (such as flights or optional hotel upgrades). Once you’ve secured your ticket, everything else is covered—including wardrobe styling, model fees, production, location access, meals, and transportation between sets.
What happens if it rains?
Rain dates are reserved for September 16-17. Because this production relies heavily on natural light and cinematic outdoor scenes, we do not proceed in poor weather. Your experience will be rescheduled in full—never downsized or rushed.
→ Tickets are non-refundable but fully transferrable.
→ Travel insurance is strongly encouraged if you’re flying in.
Will I receive a detailed schedule in advance?
Yes. A full scene-by-scene production schedule will be shared with confirmed attendees prior to the retreat, along with wardrobe guidance, call times, and shoot groups.
