In any business, one of the most important elements is branding. And, don't worry, we're talking about more than just your logo and fonts in this workshop. Branding goes beyond the colors on your website. As Seth Godin says, "A brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer's decision to choose one product or service over another." So, with that said, in this workshop, you'll learn exactly how to brand yourself so that your ideal client is choosing to book and work with you!

Photography is more than just getting a good camera and lenses. It's more than just learning how to work with light or how to edit your photos in post. At the core, photography is capturing and telling a story. In this workshop, you'll learn from top photographers the art of story telling. You'll walk away from this workshop, not only inspired, but armed with practical tools and knowledge on how to work with your clients to uncover their story, so that you can deliver them more than just a gallery of images— but, images that capture memories, moments, and ultimately, tell a piece of their story.

Howdy I'm Morgan! A Utah based, world traveling photographer specializing in couples in love, electric weddings, fam bams, and all that good shit. I've been full time on this journey for almost 6 years now and photography has become part of my existence. It runs wild through my veins and I wouldn't have it any other way. Get ready for some curse words and tears. I can't wait to meet you all!

I’m a European who ended up in the pacific northwest, enneagram 4, lover of all things old and weird, dog dad, husband and master of poorly timed dad jokes. I love documenting life and love and I spend way too much time playing with colors and grain settings.

I have been a dancer almost as long as I could walk. I love the feeling of motion. I think it propels us forward in life, and not just physically. Love and relationships are motion and energy, moving toward trust and understanding.

Photography has always been about capturing motion for me. I love to see the way couples move together: how he gently moves her hair out of her face. How she looks up at him and unconsciously wraps her pinky in his. How they rest their heads together as soon as they take a seat. These cues are love in motion, and it’s my job to notice and document them.

i laugh when i shouldn’t. i overthink everything. i want everyone to see the best in me and i hate that i bite my nails. i hold myself to an irrational standard, but that’s what drives me. i’m tim. my escape from the monotony of structure and routine in the world are midnight talks with my wife, witnessing sarcasm in my daughters, and photographing the love stories of those who walk my way. the world can be overwhelming, but sitting down with strangers and documenting their love is consoling. it reminds me that we’re not all that different. it reminds me that you’re just like me.

Hi my name is Summer and I love all things traveling, making art, coffee, and telling stories. I am originally from Atlanta, Ga but moved to the West Coast to pursue photography in 2018. I picked up a camera at the age of 16 which is what led to me moving to Oregon and working a full time job in media + communications. Through some trials and heartbreak I ended up throwing myself into wedding + elopement photography. The joy I received from telling other people's stories fueled my soul. It got me out of a hard time and brought me to where I am today. 

Jon Taylor Sweet

I am Wedding, Commercial, and Lifestyle Photographer here in the greater Seattle area! I love life, love coffee, and love to celebrate moments with the finest people. I started taking photos on my iPhone in 2012 using Instagram as the vessel to share my work. After a little bit of time having gone by shooting on my iPhone a friend gifted me a camera so I could jump into photography as a career. Was truly blessed to have people in my life that believed in me so I could walk in this journey I have felt called to be in. With Instagram being a perfect platform to connect with people all over the world I began to realize how great the photo world really is. Being inspired to shoot Weddings for over 200+ couples, Lifestyle/Editorial content which allows me to enjoy seeing the world through a lens, Commercial/Branding work with companies and organizations like Infiniti, Jameson, Tourism Jordan, OneChild, Fossil, Blundstone, NF, American Express, Iceland Air and so many more has only enabled me to grow in my craft. Photography has brought life long friendships with everlasting memories that I will be eternally grateful for. Capturing moments is something that I cherish and am so thankful for every opportunity. Cameras are a beautiful thing and thankful God allows me to use one everyday to provide for my family!
