RITUAL SUMMER GATHERING
+ POP-UP SHOW 2024
BROOKLYN
July 10th - July 11th, 2024

In 2024 we gathered a group of ambitious creatives in a gallery in Brooklyn. The group consisted of members of the photography community who share a desire to push the boundaries of what is possible in photography at weddings. We aimed to shake up expectations and celebrate new photographic perspectives.
During this two-day event, our space came alive with an immersive exhibition curated by Elsa Seignol. This showcase was in collaboration with the work featured by Counterpart Photos, designed to challenge tired ideas of industry standards and energize unique artistic storytelling. Together, we aimed to redefine conventional norms and invited viewers to engage with fresh points of view.
In what was a very eventful 2 days we ran a program to exchange ideas, hold stimulating conversations, and get inspired by the luscious community we are apart of.

Thank you
To Elsa Seignol, your creative eye and thoughtful curation brought to life an exhibit we could have only dreamed of.
To the Ritual Collective members, Holger Thoss, John Dolan, Meredith Heuer and Olya Vysotskaya thank you for always being at the forefront of inspiring artists and pushing what it means to be a photographer in this industry.
To Anne Watkins, Daniel Kim, Erin Pearlman, Michaella Jelin and Peter Hermann for stimulating us with a variety of talks, creativity and laughter.
To Andrew French, Luci Young and Målin Hillemann for helping to set everything up and to keep everything running smoothly.
Finally, thank you to every artist who submitted to the show & those that came from near and far to give us their energy. It is because of you that these events are possible and our community exists because of you. We feel so full and endlessly inspired- until the next time!
