A high end, curated editorial experience for photographers & filmmakers
I'm SO excited about this one. Two fully packed days of multiple designs, educational sessions, and curated meals and experiences. All at one of the most sought after venues in the Hudson Valley - the luxurious Wildflower Farms, part of the iconic Auberge Resorts Collection.
This workshop will feature a stellar vendor team, a bridal stylist, multiple looks, a full wedding party, and both a welcome party and full wedding day design. One of the things I love most about my workshops is that we also get the opportunity to truly enjoy the designs we photograph. I genuinely believe this allows for more opportunities to network and connect with those around us. And to understand how to serve our clientele in the best way possible, by experiencing five-star service and opportunities cultivated by the high end venues I choose for my workshops.
BONUS:
The first 5 attendees to sign up will also receive a 30 minute mentorship session. We'll schedule this before the workshop, so you can work out any kinks or prepare to try new things and experiment while we're there!

Meet the Vendor Team
Before pursuing photography full time, I was an opera singer and taught as a voice professor at Princeton University. During my time on the stage and in academia, I developed an appreciation and understanding of the value of the finer details—from a carefully planned tablescape to the emotion shared between a mother and her daughter on her wedding day. Traveling all over the US and Europe, my inspiration thrives when I'm in a new location. I combine this with how I work with my clients, as I truly believe everyone looks their absolute best when they're relaxed, cared for, and fully allowed to be in the moment. I curate these workshops so you too can experience this high end service, while also capturing breathtaking content for your portfolio and business.
