Happy Monday, everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. Some of my favorite wedding inspiration comes from the beach, even though I was born and raised a mountain girl. So, today I’m sharing this beach wedding inspiration editorial from the Envision workshop with photos by Nikki Santerre, who explains her workshop experience beautifully.
From the photographer…Envision was my first large-scale photography workshop. For four days, like the sponges of the sea just outside the doors of our Rehoboth Beach house, we soaked up the knowledge being so generously poured into us. No topic was left untouched: marketing, branding, blogging, submissions, clients, gifts… you name it – we discussed it.
Not only that but we shared meals together, we laughed, and we cried. We shared our hearts, our dreams, our desires, our goals for our businesses and our thirst to make them something more for not only ourselves but our clients. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my career thus far. I have never felt so encouraged and lifted up by a group of my peers as I did with these women.
During the workshop, the hostesses created a styled shoot for us to photograph. Not only that, but we had the opportunity to work one-on-one with Laura Gordon (who is probably one of my all time favorite photographers ever. Really, her film work is breathtakingly exquisite). It was a dream, especially for someone just beginning to journey into the world of film photography. These images are actually my very first film images and I’m excited to say since this workshop I have transitioned to shooting a majority of my work on film now, in large part from what I learned.
