Whether you’re organising a wellness retreat, a mindfulness getaway, or a creative workshop, my job is to document the heart and soul of your event, so that you can showcase it to the world.
Why Retreat Photography & Videography Matters
In today’s digital world, visual content is essential. People are drawn to what they can see and feel – and there’s no better way to communicate the energy and atmosphere of your retreat than through stunning photography and engaging videos. By investing in professional visual content, you’re not just capturing memories; you’re creating a powerful marketing tool that can help you:
Attract future participants: High-quality photos and videos from your retreat make it easy for potential clients to picture themselves at your next event. Visuals are an effective way to show what your retreat is all about – and nothing draws people in like an inspiring, real-life snapshot of what they’ll experience.
Tell your story: Every retreat has its own unique journey, from the quiet moments of reflection to the joyous group activities. Thoughtfully captured visuals allow you to share that story with the world, creating a deeper connection with your audience.
Grow your social media presence: Gorgeous images and captivating videos are essential for standing out on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Professional content helps you create a feed that not only grabs attention but builds a community around your retreat brand.

PLANNING AND PREPARING
When it comes to planning and preparing for your retreat photography, there are a few key steps you can take to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Firstly, it's important to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve with your photos & videos. Think about the message you want to convey, the story you want to tell, and the emotions you want to evoke. The more I know about what you are looking for the better I can prepare and plan how to make sure to capture the retreat or workshop.
Next, make sure your attendees know that there will be a photographer/videographer present. As you probably know retreats can be very personal and emotional when you participate and while I’m very unintrusive and will do my utmost to be part of the whole experience, informing your guests about my presence is key to building trust and making sure they are ok with being photographed and filmed.
Additionally, you should think about your outfits throughout the experience. Choose clothing that represents your brand and makes you feel confident and comfortable. Wearing different clothes will make the footage more diverse and versatile when using it across your website and social media channels.
