Stunning portfolio. Real education. Actual fun.
YES! SIGN ME UP!
Learn how to attract adventurous couples, shoot full-day elopements, and get booked in Moab (and beyond) while exploring the desert at a chill pace with me and an amazing crew.
You want more than a couple golden hour portraits.
You want to shoot all-day elopements in epic locations—capturing everything from coffee at sunrise to stargazing under the desert sky.
You want a scroll-stopping portfolio filled with red rocks, expansive views, and real connection.
You want to get booked in Moab (and places just like it), not just daydream about it.
You want to work with couples who value adventure, photography, and intentional experiences—just like you do.
You want to travel. You want to create. You want to feel stoked about your business.
And you want a workshop that’s actually fun. One that’s educational, epic, and lets you slow down, connect, and soak in everything Moab has to offer—without the chaos, the rushing, or the overwhelm.
That’s what this is.
This is your chance to build the kind of portfolio—and business—you’ve been dreaming about.
YES! SIGN ME UP!
you’ve done a workshop before… and left underwhelmed.
You’ve worked your butt off to build a portfolio, only to regret most of the workshops you've invested in.
The hosts didn’t really care. The styled shoots were chaotic. The “education” was fluffy at best and crammed between shoots. You left with a few golden hour portraits—but not much else.
Or maybe this would be your first workshop. And you’ve been waiting for the right one.
Let me guess..
IMAGINE this kind of workshop experience INSTEAD...
Having one-on-one time with each styled shoot couple, so your photos actually feel like you—aligned with your brand, your style, and your dream clients.
Getting personalized, actionable advice from your workshop host (hi, it’s me!) no matter where you’re at in your business journey.
Learning a step-by-step strategy to start getting booked in Moab—or any other dream destination—as soon as you get home.
Walking away with a story-driven portfolio that inspires couples to book all-day elopements with you.
Knowing exactly how to apply what you’ve learned—not just creatively, but strategically.
Or, honestly…
IMAGINE HAVING A WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE THAT’S ALL HEART AND NO FLUFF.

I’ve got you friend.
It’s time to stop wondering why the previous workshops you attended aren’t helping you get ahead and start learning some real marketing strategies that work.
Regardless of where you’re at in your business journey, this workshop was created for you if you are struggling to book couples in your dream destinations, or you want my step-by-step strategy to getting booked in Moab.
And because the core education is delivered ahead of time in a course format, we’re not rushing or cramming—we can go deeper, get more personal, or just soak up the desert vibes.
ALL THE DEETS
Four nights lodging in two super cool AirBNBs in the heart of Moab. Each attendee will get their own bed.
All meals! Including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. We want you to be well fed and not hangry.
Three adventure elopement styled shoots, designed to tell the true story of an all day elopement (think getting ready, first looks, vows, activities, etc.)
One-on-one time with each styled shoot couple, so there's no fighting amongst the other photographers to get the photos you need.
Branding photos of you adventuring around Moab, because potential couples want to see your smiling face.
Lots and lots of education! Specifically marketing, SEO, blogging, composition, posing, and the strategies that will help you get booked in your dream destinations.
NOT INCLUDED:
Flights and transportation to/from Moab are not included. Many of the attendees will be arriving early or staying late, so it will be up to you to coordinate transportation with the other workshop members. This is industry standard, and we will help facilitate this in the group chat.
YES! SIGN ME UP!

MEGAN MACPHAIL
I’m the owner and photographer at Hazel & Lace and I’m a business coach. I help adventure photographers achieve their business and financial goals, and I’m here to teach you the exact strategies I’ve used to shoot epic elopements all over the country.
After years of trial and error, various online marketing courses, expensive photography workshops (that were, quite honestly, hit and miss), and hiring a business coach, I uncovered what it takes to build a successful photography business that allows me to travel the world and be stoked about it.
Now I’m sharing everything that I’ve learned with you because I want you to feel about your business the same way that I feel about mine.

TODD REEDY
I’m the videographer at Hazel & Lace and High Alpine Films. I have a unique perspective when it comes to building a business because I recently quit my mechanical engineering career to pursue videography full time.
Hopefully you understand the reference to The Office above. Basically, as the assistant to the regional manager, I’m Megan’s right hand man. I’ll be at the workshop to help everything stay on track and organized, as well as taking plenty of behind-the-scenes video. I’m also pretty good at mixing cocktails if that’s your thing.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me hanging with my dogs in the mountains or the desert.
Here’s what you get...
THE DREAM DESTINATION WORKSHOP WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
01.
Education
In between styled shoots, we'll cover educational topics such as composition, story telling, posing, how to photograph a styled shoot for maximum impact, how to plan your own styled shoots, and my step by step strategy to market yourself to adventurous couples eloping in Moab and other dream destinations.
02.
Lodging & Meals
We have reserved two AirBNBs in the heart of Moab, strategically located close to Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse, and all the other attractions in Moab. Each AirBNB has multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and a full kitchen. We want to make sure you are comfortable and well fed!
03.
Styled shoots
We will have three adventure elopement styled shoots, featuring a whole range of activities from getting ready, first looks, vows, first dances, off-roading, hiking, and exploring. You will receive one-on-one time with the couples and will leave with THREE galleries to inspire couples to choose an all day elopement.
04.
BRanding Photos
Included in the workshop is a specific time to get branding photos of each other. This is a time to explore and enjoy ourselves, and get behind-the scenes video and photos of us being adventurous. Branding photos are an important part of the marketing strategies you'll be learning.

I Understand That It’s Hard To Invest In Your Business When You’re Not Booked Out...
amirite?
And it’s especially hard when you’ve already invested in other workshops and content days that didn’t deliver.
But let me ask you something:
At the rate that you’re (not) growing your business…
At the rate that you’re not figuring out what you’re doing “wrong”…
At the rate that you’re charging…
Can you really afford not to invest in your business?
I ONLY HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF SPOTS – SO I WOULDN’T WAIT TOO LONG TO SIGN UP.
