Workshops, content days, styled shoots – they come by many names, have many purposes, and run with many reputations, but not matter what you call them or how you see them, there is no doubt that these curated experiences have made tremendous impact for so many businesses in the wedding industry. From using them for content to their powerful networking opportunities, styled shoots and workshops have certainly earned their place as a powerful strategy to grow one's business.

But what exactly makes for a successful styled shoot/workshop? As a host, what elements should we consider to create an incredible experience for the attendees and leave with glowing reviews? As an attendee, how do we know which experience is actually going to move the needle forward in our business and create lasting impact?

With me for this conversation, I invited wokshop-host-extraordinaire, Nicola Dixon, a destination wedding photographer based in Mallorca Spain. Nicola has been hosting styled shoots and workshops of all shapes and sizes for over ten years and in the process, has learned almost everything there is to know about hosting and attending. In our conversation, she shares her experiences, lessons learned, and the inside scoop on what it actually looks like to host one of these.

At the end of our conversation, Nicola even shares some incredible opportunites she is offering for October of this year – one of which I am personally attending myself!
