WEDx is a brand new seminar for wedding professionals. I am honoured to have been asked to speak at their inaugural event taking place on Monday 8th May at Wyboston Lakes Executive Centre, near Cambridge.

Fair warning: I’m not a professional speaker. I prefer to chat from the heart rather than spiel off an over-rehearsed speech. But if you want to come and hear me share my journey from starting a secret hobby from my laptop, to spearheading a six figure publishing business, then I’m your gal! Specifically I’ll be talking about collaboration and how working with others has been the best thing I’ve ever done for my business and why. After all, no-one can do this shit on their own!

I’m going to be joined by industry heavyweights Amie Bone, Lisa Johnson, Lee Smith, Lina Orsino-Allen and Sammi-Jo Gascoyne. To learn a little more about these incredible people and what they’ll be teaching you, just head over to the WEDx website.

After taking this event all over the US, their very first UK offering is taking place in London THIS FRIDAY!

The schedule features conversations with leading voices in the wedding industry, breakout sessions to help you grow your business based on your values and better reach, market and appeal to diverse audience.

Hey guys! It’s been a longggg while since I’ve written a more personal post (where does the time go!?) so today I thought I’d break that drought to let you know about some events I’ve got coming up. I’d love for you to come and spend some time with me, new braces and all (!)

Most Curious Wedding Fair

March 18th & 19th: London. 

This weekend my team and I are packing our bags and heading just up the road to the Most Curious Wedding Fair at the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane. This is the wedding fair for non-traditional babes with discerning taste.

Inspired more by fashion and the hipster-cool vibes of it’s location than the wedding industry itself, this is one of my favourite shows and I’m super excited to be taking part!

Tickets can be bought in advance from just £2.50 or £3 on the door.

FarmShop

March 27th & 30th: Brighton & Glasgow. 

After a few days to recover I’ll be hitting the road solo to speak at Photography Farm’s first ever FarmShop in both Brighton (27th) and Glasgow (30th). Billed as an all star wedding photography workshop where each mentor will lead a section that plays to their strengths (as well as contributing to each other’s to bring a huge pool of knowledge), it’s going to be super fun and really informative.

Specifically I’ll be speaking about harnessing the power of wedding blogs and magazines to book your dream clients as well as sharing some tricks for getting on the radar of editors and (almost most importantly) sharing the things that people do wrong over and over again so that you can avoid them!

You can read about the workshop in more detail on the Photography Farm website. Tickets are currently available at the discounted rate of £300.
