FAQs

With nearly 20 years behind the lens, I’ve lived through trends, seasons, and stories — from DIY backyard weddings to luxury celebrations across the globe. I’ve learned that no matter how long you’ve been in the game, there’s always something new to discover. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s grow together — one perspective shift at a time.

Why should I come to this workshop?

If you're craving a creative reset, this is for you. Whether you're a photographer, content creator, or someone in the wedding industry looking for fresh inspiration — PERSPECTIVES is your invitation to grow.

Who is this workshop for?

We’ll be gathering from 9am to 9pm at Monji Gardens in Bakersfield, CA — a dreamy space full of natural beauty and inspiring light. It’s going to be a full day of creativity, connection, and hands-on learning.

When and where is the workshop happening?

I’m keeping this workshop intentionally small — just 10 attendees. This way, everyone has room to create, ask questions, and feel truly seen. It’s about quality over quantity, always.

How many photographers will be attending?

Educational sessions with Marsha and a special guest speaker
Two beautifully styled ceremony spaces, a styled reception space
Small group rotations with models for more personalized shoot time
And a delicious dinner to end the day on a cozy, high note.

What's included with the ticket?

For my very first workshop, I am offering an intro rate of $750.
2 early birds will get their tickets for $500.

The non refundable deposit is $375 with the balance due 2 weeks prior.

What is the cost?

Absolutely! All that’s needed to reserve your spot is the deposit. You’ll pay the remaining balance two weeks before the workshop — no extra fees, no fuss.

Can I pay in installments?

Bring your camera gear (of course!), something to take notes with (a laptop or notebook will do), and most importantly — bring an open heart, a curious mind, and a positive spirit. That’s where the magic happens.

What should I bring with me?

Yes, yes, yes! I’ll be sharing accommodation recommendations and helping out-of-towners find the best way to get here. You won’t be on your own, promise.

I don't live in Bakersfield - can I still come?

YES! Please do! Sign up with a friend and you'll each get $100 off your ticket. Contact me for more info!

Can I bring a friend?

YES! I will be offering exclusive spots to workshop attendees.

Do you offer mentorships?

Life happens — I totally get it. While tickets are non-refundable, I’ll do everything I can to help you find a replacement. You’re welcome to transfer your spot to someone on the waitlist or use your credit toward a future workshop.
