I am so SO excited to share this blog post with all of you! Last week I was able to spend time in Wilmington, North Carolina with some extremely talented wedding photographers! I was geeking out the entire time!! The ladies behind Magnolia Photography, Jana & Michele, put together this entire event and they did such an incredible job! Half of the day was spent at The Cottage on Orange Street where Jana & Michele poured their hearts and souls into us. They were open books and taught us so much about this business! I had never attended any type of workshop or styled session before so I wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. I knew what I wanted from this workshop and what I hoped the experience would be like but..y’all…I was not prepared for how wonderful this day would be!  (If you ever get a chance to attend one of the Magnolia Wedding Workshops – do NOT hesitate!)  The women I was with all day are so talented and simply hilarious! We were all laughing within seconds of walking in the door. It is so refreshing to be around people who have the same passion as you but also the same struggles. I left feeling so positive and excited for my business!

The second half of the workshop was a styled shoot at the Burgwin-Wright House. Every one of us was speechless the moment we stepped on the grounds! The vendors that made this day possible did the most AMAZING job!! I seriously can not say enough wonderful things about every single one of them! Jana & Michele did not miss out on even one tiny detail!! The vendors they chose brought their vision to life and everything was simply perfect. None of us could stop smiling! I loved it!

I could go on & on forever about the vendors, the talented ladies I met, and the location we were at but, instead, I am just going to show you my pictures from the session! But first, I am going to list off these fantastic vendors! Please go check them out! Also, if you are ever in Wilmington, go to One Belle Bakery because all of their desserts are delicious!
