Think elevated summer camp vibes. After our 5th retreat, we knew it was time to refresh the brand and move back towards the main reason why we started The Roam Collective Co in the first place - to build a community.
Camp Roam is a photography retreat geared toward helping photographers build and grow a community all while learning and gaining content to help them elevate their business. With community at the forefront of the entire retreat, our goal is always to create an environemnt that fosters growth an connection.
We will start the retreat with a community day to get to know each other and to explore the South Oregon Coast and The Redwoods!
We will do a few short hikes to immerse ourselves in the area, have lunch along the coast, and finish the night off at our favorite local brewery (they have the BEST kombucha, too!).
Other days will include things like s'mores, movie nights, and picnics.
4 styled shoots with a heavy focus on the details to help you grow your portfolio
- 1 Micro Wedding
- 3 Elopements
We will all be staying together in an amazing Airbnb near the Redwoods (right over the Northern California border).
Breakfast, lunch, and Dinner is included every day as well as some snacks throughout the day. If you have any dietary concerns, just let us know on the questionnaire!

I had the pleasure of attending my first ever photography retreat in the beautiful Santa Rosa, Florida, and I can honestly say it was an experience I’ll never forget. Hosted by the incredibly talented Dana and Bri, this retreat was nothing short of perfect from start to finish.
The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the retreat. The florals were absolutely stunning, adding a touch of natural beauty to every shot. Each location we visited was thoughtfully chosen, providing us with diverse and picturesque backdrops that truly elevated our photography.
The models were not only beautiful but also professional and easy to work with, making the shooting process smooth and enjoyable. Dana and Bri’s expertise in curating the perfect settings for our sessions was clear—they really know how to bring out the best in every photographer’s work.
One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to network with other photographers from around the world. It was inspiring to connect with so many talented individuals, exchange ideas, and learn from each other’s experiences. The sense of community was genuinely uplifting.
As this was my first photography retreat, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this kind of event. Dana and Bri, thank you for creating such a welcoming and inspiring environment. Your hard work and passion for photography shone through in every detail, and I am deeply grateful for the experience. I look forward to attending more retreats in the future and continuing to grow as a photographer thanks for the knowledge I also took from Dana and Bri .
I invested in the Arizona retreat hosted by Dana and Bri, and I cannot say enough how AMAZING my experience was. Dana and Bri seriously put blood, sweat, and tears into this retreat. They truly went above and beyond to serve their attendee's to give us the best experience possible. They provided so much education which I am BEYOND grateful for as a new business owner. I have learned so so much from B+D and I am truly so thankful for them being so excited to share their knowledge and wisdom to help new photographer's like me grow. All of the styled shoots were insanely beautiful, the AirBNB we stayed at was jaw dropping, they even gave us goodie bags with merch which I thought was extremely sweet and thoughtful. Overall, I could not have had a better experience it was worth EVERY penny. I will absolutely be attending another one of their retreats in the near future. Highly recommend to any photographer looking to expand their portfolio, build connections with amazing likeminded creatives, and looking to learn so much valuable education to help your business succeed. Thanks for everything, Dana and Bri!
Where do I start? I just got home from my 3rd Roam Retreat and it truly gets better every time. Bri + Dana pour their heart and soul into making these retreats not just about the photos but the community as well. This industry is so saturated with negativity but Bri + Dana do an amazing job of bringing some of the most creative and amazing people together. The education is always helpful and the guest speakers are incredible. I just learned so much about SEO and blogging this past week. The photos I get out of these retreats are always insane with amazing locations. It is truly one of the best things I have ever invested in for my business. Do yourself a favor and buy a ticket to their next one, you won't regret it!
"I HIGHLY recommend Roam for any retreat or workshop they put on. I have been to many styled content days and nothing compares to the planning and execution that Bri and Dana do! I went to the Oregon workshop and I was thoroughly impressed how their mood boards actually come to life, the locations they chose were amazing and full of variety, and we had so much fun learning and shooting together. They do a great job of making sure everyone gets time to photograph in the center, they choose amazing vendors/dresses, and goodness I could just go on and on. I will for sure be going back to another one in the future. If you're on the fence, you won't regret all of the education and content you'll gain. Not to mention - friends for life! "
"This was my first workshop I have ever attended and it could not have gone any better! Seriously, my expectations for any other workshops I attend in the future by other hosts other than the Roam is SUPER HIGH! The amount of hard work and creativity that went to each educational portion of the workshop, the styled shoots (so many styled shoots!), and even into choosing the Airbnb we were staying was absolutely amazing. I have so much content to help me book dream clients for locations I am hoping to market to. But, the biggest takeaway from this workshop has to be the friendships I have gained. I could not recommend The Roam Collective enough and I look forward to attending another!
"I loved attending the Oregon retreat! All the models were so amazing to work with and all the shoots were so different! It was the most organized retreat I have been to up to this date! I got so much content and I cannot wait to edit them! Thanks so much to the hosts for organizing it as I know how stressful it can be! I will definitely be back!"
"Oh. My. Gosh. Where to begin! This was one of the BEST photography retreats/workshops that I have been to! Bri + Dana + Megan did an amazing job planning this week and the shoots really matched the gorgeous mood boards they advertised! The girls offered wonderful education sessions and I really felt like I bonded with the other attendees on the trip. If you’re looking to level up your photography education and bond with others in the wedding photography community, I cannot recommend The Roam Collective enough!! 1000/100!!!"
WOW! I honestly don't even know how to begin with this review--the retreat I did with Roam was truly unforgettable...literally cried of joy multiple times and then cried again at our goodbyes. I learned SO much, took some of the best photos of my career, and most importantly, I made connections and friendships with incredible photographers from across the country (and Canada!). It was obvious from day one that Dana and Bri put in so much work to make this experiencing as enriching as possible, and after my first day, I had already decided to go on their next retreat. Couldn't recommend this experience more for any photographer (at any point in their career) looking to get the ultimate creative reset. The investment is worth it---seriously do it!
