Towering limestone peaks catching the light, alpine meadows stretching wide, and quiet mountain villages shaped by time and tradition. The Dolomites invite you to slow your pace, breathe deeper, and let the rhythm of the mountains guide the story as it unfolds between sky and stone.

Dolomites, Italy

What we have

PLANNED

 7 ELOPEMENTS / 3 CASUAL SHOOTS / 10 SHOOTS / 4 COUPLES 

YYou’ll document seven full elopement style stories alongside three slower, documentary led sessions, working with couples throughout the retreat. Each experience reflects a real Dolomites elopement—intentionally paced, shaped by the mountains, and guided by genuine movement and connection.

You’ll leave with a cohesive, honest body of work. Images that feel lived in and true to the landscape. Work that shows what it actually looks like to photograph couples in the Dolomites, and gives future clients a clear sense of the experience they’re stepping into when they choose you.

10 Fully Styled Shoots

This retreat is built around real experience in a landscape shaped by time, weather, and elevation. The Dolomites invite you to slow down, stay present, and move with intention—letting scale, atmosphere, and emotion lead the work.
You’ll create imagery throughout the Dolomites’ dramatic peaks, alpine meadows, winding mountain roads, and quiet valleys. Each shoot is guided but unforced, leaving room for natural movement, honest connection, and stories that unfold organically rather than feeling staged.
You’ll receive clear, practical direction during every shoot, with space to experiment, ask questions, and refine how you work in ever changing mountain conditions. We’ll focus on reading light as it shifts across stone and sky, working with weather at elevation, and creating images that feel grounded, cinematic, and true to the place.
Lodging is thoughtfully chosen to support rest and connection, with shared time built in for conversation and reflection. The pace is steady and spacious, allowing you to stay engaged without feeling rushed.
You’ll leave with a cohesive, evocative body of work, a deeper understanding of how to photograph in alpine and mountain environments, and practical tools you can carry forward into future destination work with confidence.

SO, WHATS INCLUDED?


You won’t be stepping into this experience unprepared. Before we arrive, you’ll receive a detailed Dolomites guide covering locations, logistics, timing, terrain, and practical considerations. You’ll have the context and confidence to focus fully on creating, rather than figuring things out on the fly.



You’ll be added to a private group chat with the other attendees ahead of the retreat. It’s a space to connect, ask questions, coordinate travel if needed, and arrive already feeling grounded and supported before we ever step into the mountains.

You’ll walk away with complete galleries that feel lived in and believable. Work that reflects what photographing couples in the Dolomites actually looks like — not just highlights, but full stories shaped by scale, weather, and movement. Each experience is paced intentionally, allowing moments to unfold naturally and imagery to feel honest, grounded, and timeless.


This experience is intentionally kept small. No crowding. No rushing for a turn. Just space to slow down, observe, and create with purpose. You’ll photograph alongside a close group of artists who feel more like collaborators than competitors. The pace is steady, the environment supportive, and the focus stays on creating meaningful work while exploring the Dolomites together.

This experience is shared with photographers navigating similar seasons in their work. You’ll spend meaningful time alongside people who understand the pace, the questions, and the direction you’re moving toward.

The connections formed here often extend well beyond the retreat itself. Not just shared content and experience, but creative partnerships, friendships, and a sense of belonging that carries long after you leave the mountains.



Your accommodations are fully covered for the duration of the retreat, with nights spent in thoughtfully chosen lodging surrounded by the Dolomites. A place to land, rest, and reset between shooting days. This extended stay allows space to slow down, settle in, and fully immerse yourself in the rhythm of mountain life between shoots.
