ABOUT THE ROAM
FUN FACTS
WE HELP PHOTOGRAPHERS BREAK INTO THE WEDDING + ELOPEMENT WORLDS BY CREATING A COMMUNITY OF LIKE-MINDED WEDDING PROFESSIONALS.
Building a wedding photography business thrives on more than just capturing beautiful moments; it’s deeply rooted in the strength of your professional community. Engaging with a supportive photography community offers endless benefits, from sharing knowledge and resources to providing inspiration and feedback.
We aim to give every photographer the confidence they need to be the best they can be for their clients. Even after you leave the retreats or content days, we are always here for you to help you with whatever you need, whenever you need it.

Perfect for those of you in the early years of your business, our retreats and styled shoots help you create a curated portfolio. After many years of attending content experiences ourselves, we've learned that most of the time they don't feel super realistic.
This is why every shoot we put on is always set up as realistically as possible - no more content that screams styled shoot.
Our photography retreats are about so much more than just the photoshoots; they are about coming together as a community. The Roam retreats provide a unique opportunity for photographers to connect, share experiences, and inspire one another in a supportive and collaborative environment. The sense of friendship and mutual encouragement fosters personal and professional growth, making The Roam Retreats a transformative experience. It's about building connections that go beyond the lens, creating a network of peers who uplift and empower each other in their creative journeys.
Our curated styled shoots then help you reach your dream clients.

MEAGHAN (DAD)
OUR BADASS HMUA
I’m Meaghan!
I’ve been a licensed makeup artist and hair stylist for 15 years-over 10 of which were dedicated to traditional weddings in the Baltimore, Washington D.C. area. A few years back I packed it all up and headed to the Pacific Northwest with very little plan and everything changed. Since making Oregon my home, I specialize in adventure elopements-even the gnarly extreme ones, micro-weddings and mini-monies. My working style is a little grunge, a little granola, and glam always.
Some fun facts about me:
- Dave Grohl is my Taylor Swift.
- I’m an astrologer and tarot card reader.
- I married my scuba dive buddy and we love diving all over the world together.
- My favorite city in the world is New Orleans and I will get there any chance I get.
- I have the world’s naughtiest Labrador retriever. His name is Radar James O’Reilly.
MO
Our quirky floral babe
Hey there, I’m Morgan, most call me Mo. (: I have been in the flower industry for almost 4 years and feel so honored to be apart of the Roam’s team. Art and design have always been a huge part of how I move through the world, so utilizing flowers as an art form has really pulled me forward to so many opportunities. My husband and I are based in Nashville, but travel often for both of our lines of work. I am in love with all things European and novel. So give me a great story, I’ll listen forever, and send me off with some kind of pastry and a good latte. XOXO
