Golden BC Wedding Workshop + Retreat

I am so pleased to announce and host the first three day Wedding Workshop and Retreat! The premise of the workshop is to embrace the beautiful scenery around us, find out who and what our style is as photographers which will better help attract our right clients, and in return we will love our jobs more! And that we all have something to learn from each other.

The Rocky Mountains serve as the most stunning backdrop for our retreat, to connect with the nature that surrounds us and to incorporate that into our work. Living and working in the Rocky Mountains gives us the incredible opportunity to really take advantage of this so that we can build a fundamental bases of what we want our business’ and ourselves to reflect.

One other key aspect that makes this Wedding Workshop + Retreat so unique is we already have an amazing group of photographers involved! People from all skills level will be participating in this event, we all know that sometimes our jobs can get lonely as most of us sit in our home offices all day staring at a computer screen. Photography is growing everyday to become more and more inclusive as a community and we want to continue that trend! We all have something to learn from each other and this will be an open and honest place to vent, share, and grow.

Along with myself I will be hosting this event with Maggie Lalonde from Margaret Kathleen Photography, Maggie is from Hamilton, Ontario and we are so pleased to bring together more of the community of photographers from across Canada!

If you are someone who is looking to connect and grow than we would love to have you! The opportunity to make new friends because we all deserve support in whatever we do in our lives, to learn from others and in return others can learn from you growing your skills and enhancing our business.

The 2016 Wedding Workshop + Retreat will be held just outside of Golden, BC. A private lodge has been reserved for all of us to spend time together, cooking, talking, and drinking wine. Everyone will arrive on Sunday August 28th, we will all get settled in while we spend the night eating and chatting, swapping stories while we are surrounded by wilderness on all sides. We will be within walking distance to the Blaeberry River too, nature is just outside the door of our retreat. Hiking trails abound including easy riverside walks to full mountain scrambles this is a true Canadian Rockies experience.
