It's funny.. getting emails from all the new homies that are coming on the workshop, telling us all about themselves.. I've realised one thing.  Every single person that comes on the workshop is already a homie deep down..

welcome home {Dublin and Brum}

So we did another two workshops! One at our office in the Custard Factory and one in the beautiful city of Dublin!  It feels quite a while ago now but having said that.. looking over the images from all the homies that came and shared.. again.. I feel so bloody thankful that we get to do them and how the little bubble of Welcome Home always seems to feel so special..

So first up.. Dublin.. we headed over with the lovely Lee and Dawn from Shutterbox Films and with a day to chill.. pretty much ate our way around the city.  We enjoyed the most amazing Bento Box from ukiyo (you have to go there) and then later that night we had the most beautiful 3 course dinner at our workshop venue.. Fallon&Byrne.. (you have to go there too!).. see I told you we ate a lot.  

The following day we headed back to Fallon & Byrne to meet a new bunch of homies.. and what an amazing bunch.  We laughed a lot, maybe cried a little bit, had the best lunch provided by Fallon & Bryne (including the biggest sandwiches you've ever seen - so big Dawn called them 'events') and then had the absolute pleasure of photographing the gorgeous Kate and Brian for the afternoon.  After the workshop we all then headed to a Mexican for the best tapas and to catch up with the lovely ladies from One Fab Day.  Add a cooked breakfast the following morning and we had truly eaten our way through Dublin.. and as you might have guessed.. we loved every single minute of it.  I'm actually embaressed to say that I'd never been over to Ireland before.. and this is definitely going to be my first trip of many..

So first up.. our amazing friends/partners in crime, Shutterbox Films made us another friggin' amazing little film of our Dublin workshop.. honestly.. these guys blow us away every single time.  It was so nice as this time I said to Lee to just play.. there was no agenda as we'd filmed other workshops before so he was free to be creative.. and this is what this pair do best.. give them your wedding.. your event.. give them the reigns and just watch the magic.. :)  We can never thank these guys enough and we have an absolute ball with them every time..

I also want to say a huge thank you to all that helped us out for both these workshops.. we couldn't have done it without you guys!!

Shutterbox Films, Fotofafa, Folio Albums, Everybody Smile, HipHip, Fallon & Bryne, One Fab Day, Century Studios,  Kate and Brian, Adam and Lizzie.. we love you guys!

Here's some images of the gorgeous Kate and Brian followed by some images of the day from some of the homies..

A big thank you to Christina Brosnan and Brideen for the following images..

The following week we were back and cosy in our office and had another 14 new homies join the ever-growing group!  This was our second workshop at the office and it was quite a squish but the group were fantastic.. completely opening up, sharing ideas.. giving so much inspite of their much bigger audience.  We also had the gorgeous Adam aka Mr Rock My Wedding and his beautiful lady Lizzie model for us which was bloody lovely.  Adam hadn't had a couple shoot before so it was so so nice to be able to give them the experience and also some photos of them together.. they totally nailed it and were an absolute pleasure to shoot.Again.. (I feel like a bit of a broken record) but every time we do another workshop I'm blown away.  When I first looked at what I wanted to talk about I never realised just how important it was to me.  I've learnt so much about myself.. about my style.. about what is truly important to me as a photographer and to me as a person.  I have learnt something from each homie that comes and shares their story and with each workshop I go away feeling more positive, more inspired, more creative and more determined about this wonderful journey we're on..Here's some of my images of Adam and Lizzie followed by a selection of images of the day from some of the homies.. :)

A big thanks to Paul Stott and Binky Nixon for the below images.. 

We now have over 70 homies and have had our first 'Welcome Break' last week where 30 of us went glamping and danced our socks off.  The Facebook group is a huge melting pot of advice, support and laughs and by coming on this workshop every single one of them has made a pledge... to nurture and invest in this family we have created but also to nurture and invest in themselves.. to look at their 'home', whatever, wherever or whoever that might be.. and to be honest and open about their journey. It just doesn't get much better... 

Welcome Home Workshops - NEW DATES!

The WELCOME HOME CREATIVES Workshop..

We would also like to announce the start of some new workshops in 2013!  We have had emails from non-photographers from the very start of Welcome Home asking if they could come along... and by doing the workshop we realised that parts of the workshop were relevant to anyone with a creative business and how they could also really benefit from the day... sooooooooooo... we are launching the WELCOME HOME CREATIVES Workshop!! 

This will be a half day workshop which will include topics from the full day workshop excluding the photography shoot with the couple, my post processing and workflow.  It will be specifically tailored for anyone with a creative business and we want you to come away from the day, not only with practical tools for your business but also buckets of inspiration and support.. we would love for you to be a part of this growing community.. and we don't think you should have to use a camera to be part of it! :)

So if you are NON-PHOTOGRAPHER and are interested in coming to our first WELCOME HOME CREATIVES Workshop one then you can book your place HERE...

The WELCOME HOME CREATIVES Workshop

THURSDAY 14TH MARCH 2013  -  BIRMINGHAM

10am - 3pm

PRICE £250 (INCL VAT)

Includes lunch

Please note that this workshop is much smaller and has no technical aspects of photography therefore, for photographers this is a very different workshop from our Welcome Home Workshop.  If you have any questions about either workshop then please email at info@emmacasephotography.com

Soooooo... what ya waiting for??? We CANNOT WAIT to meet you all!!!!! :)

the welcome home workshop

So guys.. I'm being brave and I'm doing a workshop... eeeeeeeek!

Ever since I thought about doing a workshop I've had permanent butterflies... but they're excited butterflies.. the thought of having a room full of enthusiastic and passionate people who all have the same feeling about their art gives me total goosebumps... and I want to make it the most useful, enjoyable and inspiring day possible where you all walk away feeling inspired by the bucket load with practical tools that you can apply to your businesses and with a bunch of new friends who will be supportive to the end.

So with all that in mind I thought Welcome Home was the most perfect name for a workshop that was all about a learning community..  somewhere where you feel most comfortable..  a creative home if you like.

So if you are interested in finding out more then please sign up to the mailing list and I'll have some more info about when, where and what's involved very soon....

It's really important for me that the workshop is catered around what you want to learn so please feel free to add comments to this post about anything that you feel you would most benefit from.. the more input from you guys the better.. :)

Kapow!!!!!!!!
