In May, I had the opportunity to attend The Real Talk Workshop hosted by Kir Tuben and Sarah Pete Rizzi at the Anderson House in Washington, DC, and it was beyond incredible. One of my biggest goals in life is to never stop learning, and attending workshops is a fantastic way to gain hands-on experiences while learning directly from the people I admire most. This workshop in particular was one I was extremely excited for. It included three informative lectures, high-end wedding focused styled shoots, and an opportunity to connect with other photographers and vendors in the area. Not only did I learn a lot and take beautiful images, but I got to make some friends and create great memories.

P.S. The proposal is REAL! What a day! Congrats Taylor and Billy!
