“We are all just visitors to this time, this place, we are all just passing through. Our purpose is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love…and then we return home”.

-Australian Aboriginal Proverb

 Reflecting today on when you have the most amazing time or moment and you wish it would just last a little longer or never end. Like a dream adventure, like a wedding day… It’s the images that are captured by the magic of photography that allow us to return to these moments again and again. Learning and teaching at the Weddings Defined Styling Intensive in December 2014 was a time that I hope will not become a faded memory. Being in the middle of this gorgeous place, surrounded by like minded creatives was the type of experience that feeds the soul and mind. It was truly an honor to meet and spend time with our amazing attendees, I am so grateful to have to opportunity to have met them all.

The Weddings Defined Styling Intensive was such a meaningful and unique experience. Getting an amazing group of creatives together to share inspiration and knowledge was one of our highlights from 2014. The bridal styling inspiration was drawn directly from this amazing eucalyptus forest at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona. The Weddings Defined team worked together to create cohesive and innovative images for the attendees. Jacki from Foil and Ink created the stunning invitation suite and body paint design including the eucalyptus motif and the amazing stippling art by the Australian Aborigines.
