a lovely workshop // part one

elizabeth messina’s a lovely workshop was truly a beautiful dream made possible by the collaboration of so many artistic & wonderful minds. it was an honor to learn from elizabeth as well as being given the opportunity to photograph the work of some pretty ridiculously talented people. from the effortless calligraphy of maybelle imasa-stukuls to the utterly lovely florals of mindy rice to the delightful little lemon tarts & amazing croquembouche from elizabeth colling – every single detail was perfect & beautiful and there was no better place to have this all unfold than the breathtaking sunstone villa. as there are just simply too many pretty details/vignettes to share – please stay tuned for part two!
