A French Blue Styled Wedding | The Hope Taylor Workshop Day 1

Ahh friends… I have SO much pretty to share with you today! Just a few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend the Hope Taylor Workshop! If you don’t know Hope yet, I highly recommend that you give girlfriend’s site a visit. She is one incredible photographer, educator, and boss lady. I could go on and on about how amazing the experience at her workshop was, but that would probably take up your entire morning! So… I’ll keep it simple! Learning from Hope was such a treat, and I left Richmond feeling so inspired. Meeting and connecting with so many photographers in similar seasons of life & business made me feel like I wasn’t alone, and the information that I came home with has already started to shape and mold my business to be stronger and more sustainable. I learned SO much from Hope (seriously… I filled up a notebook from the very first page to the very last!) and from all of the other attendees–what a treat!

On the first day of the workshop, we chatted about all things weddings. From day of timelines to detail shooting to lighting, workflow, client experience, and just about everything in between, we covered A LOT of ground. We also had an opportunity to photograph one GORGEOUS styled shoot! Y’all just WAIT until you see this bouquet & invitation suite!

Our sweet models, Erika & Josh smiled and twirled for about two hours straight while all us photogs played paparazzi. They absolutely rocked it. The team of vendors? Y’all I just have no words… they brought their A game and I just felt like the luckiest girl to be able to photograph their work! They left me feeling SO inspired.

A special thank you to this crew that created so much magic!
