I know everyone has heard of Southern Weddings - Southern Weddings Magazine and the equally as popular Southern Weddings Blog.  The creator of both of these great publication for brides is also the founder of MTH: Making Things Happen, the workshop, represents wedding industry artists through Lara Casey Reps, and, in her spare time, she also runs Bliss Event Group, a wedding design and planning division.  Whew!  This girl is busy!  Super busy, but not too busy to help share her knowledge with others.  She’s created MTH & Lara Casey Reps to provide mentoring and workshops.

If you haven’t been able to attend, or been lucky enough to have a private mentor session with her, this is definitely for YOU!  Lara is now offering an online intensive called Get Published + Get Branded.  If you follow @LaraCaseyReps on Twitter, you may know about her #GetPublished and #GetBranded series on Twitter, helping wedding industry professionals by giving them tips on getting published and branding themselves.  She is now offering a live, online intensive for anyone to attend.  Click on this link or the image below to register.

Love, love, love this photo with my girls, The Italy Girls!  Well, these are just a few of the girls, there are many more Italy Girls.  Loved meeting up with them in California for a little getaway!  Can’t wait to share everything we did on the trip.  Lots of cool stuff!  Look for it soon here on the blog.

Our last session was with the beautiful Georgia & Omar in the gorgeous olive groves at Borgo di Fontebussi.  The session took place just before the sun set over the tuscan hills and the light was incredibly delicious!  It was really the most beautiful setting I have ever been in.  The colors, the textures of the leaves and fresh grass, the smell of firewood in the air…just breathtaking.  We led Georgia & Omar through the lush olive groves and out to the edge of the farm where a view of the hills and the town of Montegonzi above.  This was by far my favorite session and favorite location and I only hope that one day I can go back.  Enjoy!

Our next shoot was held at the Borgo di Fontebussi Resort & Villa.  The gorgeous resort was perched on top of a hill with beautiful views of Tuscany.  We photographed Valentina & Giordano around the old, abandoned village that the Resort was built around.  The colors and textures, and historic architecture were a great backdrop for the session.  Each person had a chance to direct the couple individually and pose them as we wished.  Here’s a few from my session with the lovely Valentina & Giordano!

This beautiful engagement shoot took place in the lovely tuscan hillsides at La Selva Villa.  The property was gorgeous and we spent some time just before sunset photographing these stunning Italian models Georgia & Giordano.  The light really was amazing and nothing like I’ve ever seen!  We spent some time with Gene Higa going over positioning your subject, lighting, posing (really, not posing) and working with your subject to create beautiful images.  I am in love with the results and hope you like the images that I captured below.  I’m definitely ready to move to Italy!!!
