august 10-12, 2020 | saranac lake, ny
Five years into being a wedding photographer, pregnant with my first baby I realized I couldn't do things the same way. You know, 25-30 weddings a year and working non stop at home. I decided to make a change. I would love to share what I've learned in the last 12 years, and how I created the business that fits my life.
I host this workshop with an amazing group of creative friends. We will spend time in the mountains (where I live) and be refreshed by nature. We are coming together to create an elegant, outdoor inspired wedding for up to 10 photographers to document and learn from.
