Meet me in Morocco | A Styled Creative Whirlwind

UK and Destination Wedding Photography & WorkshopsLeeds Wedding & Engagement Photography, Destination Styled Shoots and workshops/retreats.

Have you ever dreamed of photographing in beautiful destinations? Ever wanted to elevate your portfolio but just not quite sure how? Or maybe you know how but it’s scary to do it alone….because lets be honest - getting on a plane alone, with just a plan, IS scary! Then this 3 day portfolio builder in Morocco is just the right thing for you!

I’ve been photographing Weddings & Elopements for 5 years in June and women for almost 15 years! I can confidently say, that I’ve built my business on being a hack and I’m very proud of it. When the opportunity wasn’t there… I went and found it. If I couldn’t find it… I created it! Creating a body of work that I love & proud of was, and still is, a mixture of my wonderful couples & ladies but also a mix of getting creative & learning new things. Never stop learning and pushing yourself…

“If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room!”

I pride myself on been able to find beauty in any location and situation, to create the absolute best work possible which comes with experience. Its also not something that everyone can just do, especially, if your stuck in visually pretty mode. On this trip I’m also going to share with you how I work my business, whilst learning about yours. We will have 3 days of beautiful photoshoots to help you get creative, learn new things and re-energise your passion after the downfall of this year…let’s face it - for our industry, it’s still a bit shit!

Here’s a little snippet of what the trip will cover:

  • A trip to the Agafay Desert with an Elopement photoshoot

  • Bridal Editorials in Marrakech

  • Styled photoshoot on the terrace of our private Riad

  • Pre-Wedding Day couples shoots

  • Details in all of their glory

  • Business Talks/Tips and Q&A

Details
To me, they’re important. They’re what make a day (aside from the guests and couple), unique to those getting married. It’s what makes their day, their own. On an elopement, they’re even more special because you can’t take everything - so they’ve been chosen for a reason. Why wouldn’t you capture those?! Sometimes it’s fear of not having the best background, not knowing how or thinking it takes too long. In Morocco, I’ll show you how to quickly set up details to get gorgeous images in under 30 minutes using what we have and how you can do so, even with nothing ‘pretty’ around.

This was taken in a door way. The ring shot on the right featuring hand painted macarons from Award Winning Bakers Where the Ribbon Ends was on a white chair in the middle of a room.

Sunset in The Agafay Desert

Not only will we spend 3 days shooting beautiful details and people for your portfolio, there will be plenty of opportunity to enjoy Marrakech and see it’s beauty. We will visit the souks, you can enjoy time on your own if you wish and we will take a group trip to The Agafay Desert for one of our shoots and you’ll have time to sit and enjoy. Soak up the environment, get creative and enjoy the evening. We will include everything from details that could be taken anywhere (which will help you with those venues back home), to landscape shots and scenery and epic staples that will elevate your creativity, portfolio and re-energise you!
