Evolve Workshops
With over 15 years of experience, Jos and Tree are facilitating powerful opportunities for photographers to EVOLVE their craft.
Their workshop retreat experiences are for wedding, event, and portrait photographers who want to dive in deep and take their professional photography skills and personal growth to the next level. We will give you everything we’ve learned over the past 15 years and invite you to examine everything you do (and don’t do).
Most importantly, there will be lots of hands-on challenges with quality time to practice skills and refine perspectives. We may be faster alone but we are stronger together! There will be round table discussions where everyone can discuss how they aren’t afraid to fail, share the best of the best insights/tips/tricks, and have conversations about life, weddings, work, marketing, business, and more.
We will share everything we know, create a supportive and positive training experience and challenge everyone to grow. We will be weaving self-care into this workshop taking it to the next level as a holistic retreat experience. We are honored to be ambassadors for photography brands that help take our craft to the next level. MagMod modifiers allow us to capture the stories we love to tell. They are the best light-shaping tools on the planet. Holdfast Gear equips photographers to tell better stories, Wedding Maps and SLR Lounge are some of the best photography trainers in the world with so much education available on their platform. Fundy Software helps us deliver exquisite product designs to our couples in record time.

"I’ve channeled their ideas and energy into several of my own weddings since that day and it’s had a huge impact on my work.
