SHF Blind Date Encounter

SHF Blind Date Encounter...what even IS THIS?

 

So glad you asked!

If you’re single, open to connection, and ready to try something different, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

SpringHaus Farm has partnered with Emily Bond Photography & Christi's Candids (some great local talent I might add) to create the SHF Blind Date Encounter designed exclusively for singles 18 and older, focused on connection, comfort, and capturing real moments.

So, what does this experience actually involve

Picture this:

  • First-look photos with someone you’ve never met before.

  • Dancing in a pine tree farm, laughing, and breaking the ice naturally.

  • A relaxed picnic under the trees surrounded by beautiful scenery (added cost).

  • Posing with a complete stranger for the very first time.

  • Capturing all of the “aww” moments from the beginning, the nerves, the smiles, the genuine reactions…​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This experience is intentionally designed to remove the pressure of traditional dating apps.

Instead, matches will be formed through a detailed, confidential application that focuses on compatibility, shared interests, values, and personal preferences.

  • Every match is thoughtful, respectful, and mutual.

  • You’re not just meeting someone, you are creating memories in a safe, curated environment while having professional photos and video taken to document the experience.

  • Whether it turns into a love story or simply a beautiful moment in time with a new friend, it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

  • Imagine having your photo taken during what could be your very first look of a lifetime.

  • No awkward swiping. No pressure. Just real connections.

 

Our application has been thoughtfully created to find compatible matches based on shared interests, values, preferences, and life goals.

Singles 18+ only.

All information remains private and confidential.

Who’s ready to step outside their comfort zone and try something truly different?
