Earlier this year in June, I was lucky enough to attend Once Wed’s first ever workshop in Atlanta, Georgia. The very lovely Emily Newman and Joy Thigpen from Once Wed, together with the extremely talented Jose Villa, created the most incredible 4 days I think I have ever experienced! The workshop was set in the most picturesque little town called Serenbe and everything from our precious welcome gifts, the delicious gourmet southern food and of course the amazing shoots we got to do, were just so beyond anything I had ever imagined!! Jose, Emily and Joy are just the kindest people you could ever meet and taught us all so much – if anyone is lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend one of Once Wed or Jose’s workshops I would say jump at it and be prepared for the most incredible experience of your life!!
This very sweet engagement session was the first shoot we did. This was my second time in probably about 7 years shooting film and oh my I’m in LOVE! Much more to come soon.
