This workshop is all about empowering and inspiring you in your photography business. The space is limited because we really value community and going deep with you and your business. Walk away feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on this next year with clear goals and a creative community!
Hey there, we're Luke and Halle and we are SO glad you're here! We are a husband and wife photo and video duo and we have been shooting together since 2016! We are based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and have built a business that allows us to travel while serving couples who we love working with. Having built a six-figure business from the ground up, we know what it's like to feel isolated and overwhelmed. Community makes all the difference and our goal with this workshop is to empower and inspire you in your business, build community, and walk away with a vision and strategy for your business. We want this next year to be your best one yet, and we cannot wait to cheer you and and kickstart your year with you!
Word on the street is our shihtzu shophie may or may not be trying to crash this party!
When: January 5th - 9th, 2025
What: 5-day business workshop and retreat for wedding photographers and videographers.
Where: Phoenix, Arizona
Lodging: An incredible Airbnb, conveniently located 15 minutes from Phoenix Airport and right on Camelback Mountain!
Throughout the workshop, we are hosting a mix of group coaching, styled shoots, and time for relaxation. The goal is for the workshop to be intentional and valuable. As your hosts, we are open books and want to dive into your business and you can ask us anything and we will not hold back. We understand that structure is important and beautiful, but as creatives we also love flexibility. With that we’ll have free time throughout each day to allow you space to process, reflect, refresh, and take everything in. Whether you want to hang out, ask your burning business questions, or want to chill by the pool or go for a hike, we are here for it! We want you to walk away feeling empowered and inspired in your business and enjoy the community building!

Halle and Luke are not only amazing at their jobs but also at leadership! I’m so thankful for the knowledge they shared! The fun atmosphere they created to learn in! It really was all around the best experience! From the shoots to the growth and support found in the community!
Samantha L.
I signed up for the workshop to learn and feel confident in taking my business to the next step and becoming full time. I learned so much more then I anticipated I would, Halle and Luke laid everything out and taught us all the things you can’t just Google. I was able to ask any and all questions I needed and felt confident in the answers I received. The community aspect of the workshop was absolutely amazing and I not only got to meet and hangout with a bunch of talented artists but walked away with amazing friendships. I can’t wait for the next one!
Madison G.
Any and all expectations I had for this workshop was blown out of the water. This workshop was such an incredible experience and I really do think the things I learned will help make an impact in my business! Halle + Luke are such incredible and wholesome humans! They were an open book the entire time and answered any and all questions, no matter how vulnerable it was for their business! I really appreciated their transparency when it came to talking about business and their hearts behind this workshop. I left learning so much and meeting lifelong friends. I am forever grateful for this experience!
