I heard about AMV from a post I saw on Instagram and knew right away this was the workshop I wanted to attend to get my destination brand going. I invested in all four workshops in 2022: Portugal, UK, France, and Greece. Each workshop, I got to photograph at incredible venues, work with wonderful high-end vendors, and learn from educators about all things marketing, storytelling, light, posing, and more. These workshops helped my business take off and only after one year, not only am I starting to get destination inquires, but I booked a wedding at one of the venues we shot at! Aside from the business aspect, I met so many amazing photographers who have become dear friends and connected with vendors who are inspiring and so talented. My work from these workshops have been featured in Destination I Do, Elegant Wedding Details, and other well-known wedding blogs. I would not be there I am today if it wasn’t for the amazing workshops that Amanda and her team put together and I would 100% recommend this to anyone who not only looking to build their destination portfolio, but for anyone wanting to simply travel, get elegant photos to showcase, and just meet and make new people/friends!

Booking a retreat with AMV was one of the best investments I could have made for me and my business. Not only I came home with the most amazing portfolio that elevated our brand straight away and learned from some of the best in the industry, but I also made friends for life. The retreat at the French Riviera was one of the best experiences I've ever had. What they promise - they deliver! Amanda and her team go above and beyond to provide everyone with the best time. The luxurious editorial shoots with real couples were a dream to photograph and the networking dinners were marvelous too! Highly recommend it to anyone - 10/10 - book it!

We absolutely love attending AMV retreats and have made it a priority to attend at least once a year. Attending has been a great opportunity to help us add stunning images to our portfolio, given us great new friendships, and provided unparalleled learning experiences from leading vendors in the industry. Amanda and her team go above and beyond to plan stunning shoots and provide guests of the retreat with next-level stays. If you're looking for an experience to relax and unwind while doing what you love for fun - this is it!

I chose to attend the AMV workshop in France for several reasons. The venues were both iconic and I knew having the chance to capture them would enhance my portfolio greatly. What seems like a substantial investment initially is soon repaid. I’ve benefited from not only multiple stunning new galleries on my website, but also increased enquiries and European bookings. If you’re on the fence about an AMV retreat, just do it! It will be one of your best decisions for the year.
