A Beautiful Way

fine-art-wedding-photography-workshops-uk-belle-and-beau-photography_339

In July we held our first ever Fine Art Wedding workshop called ‘A Beautiful Way’. It took place at the beautiful Almonry Barn in Somerset and it was the perfect day, a day sharing, new-friend-making, laughing and growing together.

Our 13 photographer attendees were all amazing, so willing to learn and try a whole new way of shooting in a Fine Art style. The feed back from them was truly heart-warming and we all left the day with huge smiles on our faces knowing we had all just shared something beautiful together. You can read some of what they had to say about it below.

Its was just the best fun styling and designing this day with my friend and fellow teacher Naomi Kenton, it’s pretty much based on how I’d have my wedding if I could do it all over again :) We knew we wanted to create a truly artisan wedding with a grey, gold and olive green grecian feel and it was truly inspiring to see the vision in our heads come to life with the support of our amazing artisan wedding industry friends. with a HUGE thank you especially to Rachel from the Rose Shed for the amazing flowers, Jade of Lady Evelyn for our amazing bespoke grey tulle dress and accessories and Gemma Milly for hand-painting all of the beautiful stationery for us. 

You can find out who all the amazing (UK!) talents are below. Here’s a few of my favourite images from the day.
