This won't be your normal workshop and here's why:

Chances are, you didn't just stumble into elopement photography for only the money, and if you did… this retreat is not for you. If you're here for the art, the experiences, bringing true happiness to others and giving them a world they might not have been able to plan themselves, welcome. This retreat is for ALL skill levels. Don't be intimidated, we're all here to help each other! 

We're going to get cinematic up in here. This retreat is meant for you to push the boundaries within your own work. Couples wants to feel your images. They want to feel that you put your heart and soul into them. This retreat and workshop is going to focus on dynamics that you build with your couples to create a strong bond between you all. Planning, art direction, curation. This bond will help transcend into not only your images by creating an emotional connection, but with others. It will help leave you with an unlimited amount of bookings just because people really want to work with you and your heart. I create these bonds with all of my couples which helps me get destination elopements all over the world for years now. They want someone with a different kind of touch and eye. Someone who can see past the viewfinder and curate a new vision with them — and I'm here to help you find your inner fine artist to do just that.

If you work in the elopement and wedding industry, you know how important it is to have tantalizing imagery for your marketing channels. But stepping into the destination elopement and wedding scene is no piece of cake. There is a lot of skill, planning, and details involved that your couples aren’t thinking about that you can help provide for them. Content & workshop retreats can be an important asset that can place you levels above others that will transform your approach and leave you with a collection of breathtaking photos to share in every corner of your business. Not only images, but true experience in the places you want to gain business in. In this retreat and workshop, you'll work with real couples for a whole entire elopement day so that you have a full album portfolio to send to future potential clients. People want to see everything, from start to finish. Connecting with fellow creatives will also help build your confidence as you work together as a team, form a community, and erase the competitive nature of the industry.

It should feel different when stepping into the retreat house. We are extremely inclusive and a safe space for everyone. No drama or hatred will be tolerated and each participant will have to fill out an application to be accepted to ensure we have the best people in the group!

As a bit of an introvert myself who values mental health, I understand the need for small groups, tools to eliminate imposter syndrome that we all feel, down time, education, inspiration, and connection with nature. It’s important for our creative brains to feel refreshed when they may always be activated by default. Providing value for your clients, your unique personality, and confidence will help you have a thriving business that's sustainable. 

You’ll receive an unforgettable experience, a remarkable portfolio with a full elopement album to showcase to couples, etc., new ideas & knowledge to bring back to the states with you, as well as new friendships that will last a lifetime!
