Wind moving through the dunes, salt in the air, and miles of coastline that feel untouched and honest. The Oregon Coast invites you to slow down, explore freely, and let the landscape shape the story.

What we have

PLANNED

 3 ELOPEMENTS / 3 CASUAL SHOOTS / 6 SHOOTS / 6 COUPLES 

You’ll document three full elopement style narratives alongside three slower, documentary focused sessions, working with six couples over the course of the retreat. Each experience unfolds like a real elopement—intentionally planned, unrushed, and rooted in genuine movement and connection.

What you walk away with is a cohesive, honest body of work. Images that feel lived in. Work that shows what photographing along the coast actually looks like—and gives future couples a clear sense of the experience they’re stepping into when they choose you.

6 Fully Styled Shoots

This retreat is designed to give you real experience in a place that asks you to slow down and stay present. You’ll spend your time creating, exploring, and learning in ways that translate directly into your work.
You can expect guided shoots along the Oregon Coast’s dunes, cliffs, and shoreline, with an emphasis on natural movement, changing light, and storytelling that feels honest and unforced.
You’ll receive hands on direction during each shoot, with space to experiment, ask questions, and build confidence in your approach. We’ll focus on reading environments, working with weather, and creating images that feel intentional without being overproduced.
The retreat includes thoughtfully chosen lodging near the coast, shared time for connection and conversation, and a pace that allows you to stay grounded instead of rushed.
You’ll leave with a refined set of images for your portfolio, a clearer understanding of how to work in coastal environments, and practical insight you can carry into future destination work.

SO, WHATS INCLUDED?



You will not be navigating this experience blind. Before we arrive, you will receive a detailed guide to the area with everything you need to feel prepared.

From locations and logistics to timing, terrain, and practical considerations, you will have the context and confidence to focus on creating rather than figuring things out on the fly.



You will be added to a private group with the other photographers attending the retreat. Many people come solo, so this space makes it easy to connect ahead of time, ask questions, coordinate travel, and share plans if you want to carpool or room together.



You will walk away with full galleries that feel lived in and believable. Work that shows what it actually looks like to photograph couples along the coast, not just highlights, but complete stories future clients can picture themselves in.


We keep this small on purpose. No crowding. No rushing for a turn. Just room to work, observe, and create with intention.
You will photograph alongside a close group of artists who feel more like collaborators than competitors. The pace is calm, the environment supportive, and the focus is on creating meaningful work while exploring beautiful places together.

An Intimate Content Day Experience

A Thoughtful Guide to the Oregon Coast

Attendee Group Chat

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

The connections formed here often extend well beyond the retreat itself. Not just content and experience, but friendships, collaborations, and a sense of belonging that continues long after you head home.



You will spend two nights at a thoughtfully chosen Airbnb along the Oregon Coast. A quiet place to land, rest, and reset between shoots, with space to slow down and take in the landscape around you.



Community and Connection

Two Night Coastal Stay

We will start with a relaxed meet and greet welcome dinner, followed by easy grab and go breakfasts and snacks each day. Nothing rushed, nothing formal. Just enough structure to keep the focus on connection, creativity, and the experience itself.



Throughout the retreat, guidance is available when you want it. Whether during shoots or back at the Airbnb, there is space for questions, feedback, and conversation around workflow, creative direction, and navigating destination work.
