Beautiful locations, thoughtfully planned shoots, small groups, and enough time to actually create instead of standing in a line waiting for your turn to take the same photo as everyone else.
The shoots are completely different from one another, the group is intentionally kept small, and you'll have the freedom to move around, direct, try new things, and create images that fit your own style. Whether you're trying to book more elopements, travel more for photography, or you just feel like your portfolio needs something new, you'll walk away with work you can actually use to market where you want your business to go.
I also wanted this to feel like a trip you would be excited to take, not just a shoot you fly in and out of. We'll have time to hang out, eat together, get to know each other, talk photography and business, and spend two days creating in one of the prettiest places in the country. I want you to go home with photos you're obsessed with, new photographer friends, and a camera roll full of memories from Washington.
If you've been waiting for an excuse to get yourself to the PNW, build the destination work you've been wanting, or just do something fun for yourself and your business — this is it.
July 21–22, 2027
An intimate two-day content experience created for photographers who want to build a destination-focused portfolio, create alongside other creatives, and walk away with work that actually feels like them.
With limited spots at each shoot, you'll have room to slow down, direct, experiment, and create without fighting through a crowd of cameras.
Because your future clients don't just need to see that you can take a beautiful photo.
They need to be able to picture themselves in it.

We'll kick things off at a dreamy lakefront property surrounded by the beauty of the PNW.
This shoot will lean romantic, editorial, and intimate with thoughtfully styled details, elevated florals, and plenty of room to create.
We'll spend the evening photographing around the property before slowing things down for dinner together.
And because not everything needs to feel perfectly polished, we'll end with something a little more playful — think swimsuits, the lake, and those carefree in-between moments that make a gallery feel alive.
Full Experience attendees only.

Day two takes us to the coast for two completely different shoots.
We'll switch things up with a casual couples session inspired by a real adventure on the coast. Less "styled shoot," more we spent the day exploring Washington together. Relaxed outfits. Movement. Connection. Playful prompts. Documentary moments.
The perfect contrast to the elevated elopement earlier in the day — and an entirely different gallery for your portfolio.
A moody PNW elopement set against the Washington coastline.
Think windswept movement, an intimate ceremony, romantic florals, bridal details, and all the cinematic coastal goodness you came to Washington for.
This is a retreat-style shared lodging experience. Beds will be shared between two attendees, so please book this option only if you're comfortable sharing a bed with another attendee. Room and bed assignments will be coordinated ahead of the experience.
Transportation to Washington and transportation throughout the experience are not included.

⛰️ You want to photograph more elopements and destination couples.
⛰️ You're ready to create work that reflects where you want your business to go — not just what you're currently booking.
⛰️ You've been dying to add the Pacific Northwest to your portfolio.
⛰️ You want content that feels elevated and intentional without losing the real, messy, emotional moments.
⛰️ You want the freedom to experiment, direct, try something weird, and create without the pressure of a paying client.
⛰️ And maybe you just want to spend two days surrounded by people who get equally excited about good light, pretty details, and running around somewhere beautiful with a camera.
Made for Elsewhere experiences aren't about lining up 15 photographers and having everyone take the exact same photo.
You'll leave Washington with three unique galleries you can use across your website, social media, blogs, guides, and marketing — but more importantly, you'll leave with work that helps show future clients exactly what you want to be hired for.
