SAVVY all started with a DM…

What followed was drinks, a lot of them….. maybe one too many later.. peep this photo from the first night we met

Savvy The Workshop was born.

Our mission was, and still is, to create an inclusive space and one stop shop where you can get what you need to build the photography business of your dreams. 

 With emphasis on holding onto your passion and keeping things fun and creative. 

MEET US

  • WHAT UPPPPPP!? I’m Nicole! I am a full time wedding and elopement photographer in Orange County, CA living my best life.

    Been full time since 2018 & I am here to tell you it has been a freaking ROLLERCOASTER. You can hear allll about that on our podcast.

    I have a crazy passion for teaching (actually have my degree in it, thanks mom & dad). Some of my fav things are chipotle, my hat collection, my hubs & my dog (duh). My Diet Coke addiction is real but I try & give it up at least once a year so I’ve switched over to ice drinks (but only the strawberry kiwi flavor).

    Ok enough about the boring shit. Nothing is off the table lets get FREAKING WEIRD, have a bomb ass time, and soon enough you will realize there is absolutely no filter over here!

  • Hey, I’m Abbi. I photograph people in love and occasionally a model or two for bridal brands. I got thrown into this wedding world unexpectedly 10 years ago and damn has it been a whirlwind.

    I shot my first wedding in 2011, and taught my first workshop on posing couples in 2018. Getting hands on with other creatives who really want it and helping them become reinspired in their work left me feeling so full.

    The only thing that matters to me is making people happy. In my private photo business, client experience is #1. It’s no different with SAVVY. We’re here to stay up all night and bring you quality education that’s fun and easy to digest. I want your hard earned dollars to make a difference for you and genuinely impact your business.

    If you’re into 90’s throwback music, heavy sarcasm, unfiltered industry conversation and value packed education, you’ll fit right in here. WELCOME. We can’t wait for you to dig in…
