The last four days have been a whirlwind of missing flights, sprinting through airports, laughing until I cry and filling my heart to the brim with new adventures.

Over the last week, I have raved over and over about the amazing Justin & Mary “Walk Through a Wedding” workshop. I shared a sneak peak into the first day of the workshop HERE, shared a recap of day one + the first styled shoot HERE, and now I am sharing my FAVORITE shoot from […]
