The Kind That Take Your
breath away
International Photography Retreats
We personally scout and hike every retreat location beforehand, ensuring we know the lay of the land, no guesswork, just real experience. Unlike competitors who might book a spot sight-unseen or rely on generic itineraries, we guarantee an intimate, insider's perspective.
Our Retreats are like nothing you have ever experienced before!
We proudly design one-of-a-kind styled setups, thoughtfully connected to each location's culture. For example, a Scottish elopement with tartan and heather, and a stunning Maori elopement with traditional elements in New Zealand. We find that the true way to connect with our retreat locations is by celebrating the place, its culture, and it's people.
We prioritize a warm, drama free community where photographers bond like besties. Many retreats lean skill flexing, which can feel stiff or cutthroat. We try to flip that, making Ivy & Co. a safe, joyful space where the focus is on friendship as much as the craft
Hands-on exploration
Cozy Connection Over Competition
Culturally Rooted Creativity
A styled retreat is a specialized event designed for photographers to enhance their skills, network with peers, and gain inspiration in a creative environment. These retreats typically feature hands-on sessions led by experienced photographers and other industry professionals. When you join us at our styled retreats you'll be with people who have been to the locations and know the area so that you can feel confident when booking with us. We do not plan our retreats at any location we have not been to ourselves. This gives you the confidence to join in with us!
The "styled" aspect refers to carefully curated scenes, featuring couples and unique locations that photographers can capture. This allows attendees to build their portfolios while experimenting with new ideas and techniques. Beyond the technical skills, we foster community, and provide a relaxing atmosphere for networking, and collaborating with other creatives.

The Experience
Our welcome dinners bring you the best where we will meet up and enjoy some amazing foods. They are a great way to connect with one another on the first night while immersing in some Colorado fun!
We'll be offering three nights stay on the western slope near Ouray with shoots set in several locations. We'll be renting out our own little place, so there will be no other guests other than our team at that time. All breakfast and dinners along with some snacks will be provided as well!
Networking
Adventuring
You will be working with some of our favorite vendors from the area, all while building your own relationships with them. So while we all collaborate with locals, you're instilling trust for future business. You'll get to meet the "Ivy" team, and we can't wait to become life-long friends. We will have time set aside for questions and editing (while this will be optional to join we highly suggest you stick around for it).
$600 - bring a significant other, travel buddy, or BFF (this is an addition to your package)
This is for someone that is NOT photographing. They will be able to stay in your room with you at the bnb for the full 3 nights. They can participate in our welcome party and enjoy the food as well as spend whatever downtime with you. They are not permitted to be part of the shoots but will have plenty of time to explore on their own and see the incredible sites the San Juan Mountains has to offer.
Pack those bags! We will be hiking around the San Juan Mountains. If you're not "excellent" at hiking, don't stress! We'll go at our team's pace. Note: some of the areas we'll be in require moderate hiking. Be sure to dress appropriately. We'll be putting out a "packing list" soon to help.
