A few favorites from this incredible workshop I was blessed to attend. If you haven’t started investing back into your wedding business yet, you should start now. I’m not just talking about beautifully styled sessions. I mean, that’s great and all but what about the experience, inspiration and knowledge after the workshop. Andreas told me he could already tell I’ve been shooting differently this past year. I have not looked at the world or my clients the same way again. Whatever motivates you, whether you’re an enthusiast or professional, you should take some time for yourself and get outside your comfort zone. Refresh & re-examine your visions and goals. Simplicity is beauty, have your own voice and always be a student to creativity. More images from Pearl & Godiva’s, The Styling Pilgrimage in Ireland here.

Come live with me and be my love,

And we will all the pleasures prove,

That Valleys, groves, hills, and fields,

Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

And I will make thee beds of Roses

And a thousand fragrant posies

A cap of flowers, and a kirtle

Embroidered all with leaves of Myrtle
