Imagine finally booking that epic elopement destination that you’ve always dreamt of.. And you didn’t even have to offer

"pay for my travel & i'll photograph it for free!"

In fact, you’ll actually make a living off of it.

You’ve built an incredible brand

So you’ve decided you want to be a

destination adventure elopement photographer.

you have your goals set, vision on lock and your workflow tuned.

You’ve been grinding away on the ‘gram

keeping up with all of the reels & trends – and truthfully, it’s been exhausting.

You created a travel bucket-list and blasted it everywhere

but your actual inquiries for those locations have been radio silent.

Despite the fact that you don’t yet have photos of those epic locations you want to book at

you’ve been working your butt off marketing them the best that you can… but the inquires just aren’t rolling in.

If I’m being honest, the lack of destination elopement inquiries is starting to make imposter syndrome creep in

you’re really starting to feel like “when am I ever going to be good enough?”

Then I’m so glad you’re here, because you’re definitely in the right place.

nodding along so far?

does this also sound familiar?

You’ve marketed yourself as a “destination photographer” and put “Fly me anywhere ✈️” on your website, insta bio and pretty much anywhere else you could – with crickets in your actual inbox.

You really want to book all-day elopements in your bucket-list locations with couples that value you & the true elopement experience, and you’ve even offered “pay for my travel & I’ll shoot your elopement for free!” but it still hasn’t clicked the way you hoped it would

You spend hours doom scrolling on the gram - reeling over all of the dreamy destinations that you see other photographers traveling to, and honestly, you’re starting to feel like you’ll never be good enough.

You’re ready to let go and ditch the traditional wedding world – but you haven’t even photographed an elopement yet.

all you really want is to have an entire year solely booked out with dream all-day elopements in bucket-list locations — you see other elopement photographer’s living this every single day, and you’re discouraged that that’s not your reality yet.

and at the end of the day -

Believe me when I say I get it… because I’ve been exactly where you are right now.

You don’t have actual photos of realistic all-day Adventure Elopements in the epic-AF destinations you want to book.

And the missing key? The reason you aren’t getting inquiries in these locations?

You can book out your calendar with all-day adventure elopements in those epic-AF bucket-list destinations even if you haven’t booked an elopement yet.

But here’s the good news…

Just imagine what that would actually be like:

No more spinning your wheels, shouting from rooftops that you’re a “Destination Elopement Photographer” – now you get to show-up with REAL epic destination elopement content and prove that you’ve been the destination expert all-along.

You got your very first international elopement inquiry, and your heart drops – it’s in PATAGONIA .. a destination that you’ve had on the top of your bucket-list for years. And the couple is so stoked to find you through all of your expertise and guidance.

You open up your Google calendar and see 6 international destination elopements in the next 2 months – you’re doing all of the things you once saw on the ‘gram: traveling, adventuring, exploring and so beyond thankful to call this your JOB.

A “pinch me” moment… you’re photographing your dream elopement, a helicopter glacier-landing and get offered the opportunity to jump in the icy blue glacier pools – a true once in a lifetime experience

You flip open your passport book to find it absolutely filled – Iceland, Norway, Italy, Greece … you name it and it’s on there. This is no longer just a dream, it’s become your real life.

all of that can be your reality

after you attend...

An Elope Academy Retreat is a multi-day International Elopement Retreat consisting of epic-AF realistic multi-day Adventure Elopement content shoots, thrilling local adventure excursions, luxury overnight lodging, and entirely immersive experience of the local culture.

Attending an Elope Academy Retreat is the missing link that will help you finally become a Destination Adventure Elopement Photographer.

- JUST LIKE THESE ONES

You’ll get real-world elopement experience, gain cultural insight from exploring the area, learn the logistics of photographing in that country, and leave with bounds of knowledge to be able to bring in destination elopements

Who am I to teach you how to become a Destination Elopement Photographer?

First hi, I’m Kasey Jo

I used to be exactly where you are... feeling like I wasn’t good enough and never understanding what I was doing wrong, and getting nowhere trying to become that photographer traveling the world to most remote locations & photographing the most epic elopements.

I spent YEARS and more money than I can count doing allllll the things… offering my services for basically free, attending random workshops/retreats/content days that left me unfulfilled and frustrated, applying every bit of knowledge that I got from any industry “educator” ... you name it, I tried it.

Then I learned the power of attending intentional and realistic adventure elopement content shoots. And boom – it all clicked for me.

I’ve taken everything that I learned on my journey and put it into Elope Academy Retreats because it’s exactly what I wish I had when I was on my path to becoming a destination adventure elopement photographer.

It’s my mission to help as many elopement photographers as possible skip past by simply focusing on what works.

The Elope Academy Retreats would have saved me SO MUCH time & energy. I can’t wait for it to do the same for you.

there is a reason that I, like so many others, keep coming back!

I have attended seven of Kasey's retreats/content days and let me tell you one thing - there is a reason that I, like so many others, keep coming back!! My business would not be where it is today if I didn't invest time and time again in Elope Academy's retreat and content days. I have gained so much knowledge in the craft of photography at its core, in business education, posing, location scouting, the list goes on. I have also made so many connections and made amazing friends that I never would have met without these events. 5 years ago I took a leap of faith in attending my first ever retreat with Kasey, and today I am a successful, six figure business woman who gets paid to travel and capture love stories. I am truly living my dream, and I could not have gotten here if it weren't for everything that I have gained attending seven of these events! <3

Most of all, Kasey ACTUALLY cares about your success.

“I have been on a few different styled shoots to help build my photography business, but Elope Academy’s styled shoot COMPLETELY stands out. That shoot was, by far, my favorite that I have attended because of several reasons.

1. The locations that they chose are amazing. They know how to handle the logistics so that you are able to take full advantage of the destination and walk away with truly beautiful photos for your portfolio. They have 3 separate couples, 3 different locations, and each couple had an outfit change so you really got 6-9 different shoots out of the one day. It was AMAZING. She took her time seriously and made it really worth it.

2. The culture of friendship amongst every attendee at the styled shoot was amazing. Most styled shoots can feel awkward or even competitive..They created a space that felt safe so ask questions and learn from each other. I was a very green photographer as I felt affirmed in my abilities by every single person who attended. I completely give credit to them for choosing individuals and setting the tone so that it unlocked everyone's barriers. We were all good friends, fast. This detail alone allowed me to feel brave and experimental with my art and I learned more because of it.

3. Most of all, Kasey ACTUALLY cares about your success. She stopped and gave me 1-on-1 attention to learn new techniques so that I could succeed. She encouraged and offered any and all wisdom... AND she took the time to grab headshots of me so that I could have that for my business too! She is truly in this for the right reasons and wants to help photographers build their dream careers and feel confident in it!

I cannot say enough good things. I loved every second of my experience. Thank you for being a launching pad for my, now, full-time photography career!”

These retreats are pure magic, offering both professional growth and unforgettable experiences.

“Attending Kasey Jo's retreats and content days has been an incredibly uplifting experience. Kasey's relaxed and welcoming energy, combined with her creativity, makes every event special. It's amazing to photograph real couples in stunning locations and to connect with fellow photographers. I've been to four of her content days and the Dolomites Retreat, each unique and beautiful, especially the ones in Dolomites and Grand Teton with their majestic mountains and horses.

These events have helped me grow my network, leading to new bookings and an increase in my social media engagement. A highlight was booking a surprise proposal in the Dolomites, a chance that came directly from attending the retreat. My work from these retreats has significantly boosted my elopements bookings in Upstate NY and the Catskills.

One of my favorite moments was encountering draft horses in the mountains, creating magical photo opportunities, and the joy of sharing dinner and laughs with everyone, especially during a memorable palm reading session with lemoncellos in the Dolomites. These retreats are pure magic, offering both professional growth and unforgettable experiences.”
