Past Shootouts, Workshops + Retreats

  • “Honestly, the shoots that Rylee and her team set up are more than enough for any elopement photographer, or aspiring elopement photographer, to set up their portfolio and start booking real elopements. Each couple had their own, unique connection to each other which made each session feel authentic and unique. The atmosphere was incredibly laid back, and really allowed each photographer to get their own photos and creative shots! Even as an established photographer, Felt like these sessions have really complimented and enhanced my portfolio, and I cant wait to see what else Rylee puts together!”

    -Emett Joseph | Elopement Photographer

  • “The whole weekend was absolutely amazing! Rylee crafted the best weekend with killer destinations I can’t wait to revisit, a great timeline for the best lighting, and all around just a solid weekend with amazing people. It felt like a space that was inviting to brainstorm and try new things, without feeling like you had to fight to get just the right shot. Rylee was incredible to shoot alongside as well! She showed us some of her favorite prompts and new ways to look at scenes in order to craft elopements that told a story. The group we were with now feels like I have amazing new friends I can reach out to anytime for advice and support. It wasn’t just a content weekend, it was literally an adventure from sunrise to sunset!”

    -Alesha Brown | Rove Coast Photography

  • I attended a styled shoot on the Olympic Peninsula this summer. It was an amazing experience and all attendees were able to come away with so much beautiful content for our photography businesses.

    Rylee/Basecamp Northwest selected gorgeous locations, at the best times of day and had wonderful couples for us to photograph. We were able to collect diverse locations and so many different styles of photos and landscapes. The group was small enough that we were each able to get the photos that match our styles, and also have some one-on-one time with each of the couples.

    We had 3 different styled shoots during this workshop. Each of the sessions was at sunrise or sunset, so we were able to take images during the most beautiful light. Also, each location was very different, so the landscapes were all diverse. I captured so many photos that I will be able to use to market my business and the types of adventure elopements that I want to photograph! I am excited to attend another styled shoot by Basecamp Northwest in the future!

These are your typical styled shoots! we’re all about the beauty of storytelling and creating something that’s Real, Authentic & Meaningful!

 
 

THESE AREN’T A “DO IT FOR THE GRAM”

Okay yes, you’re going to leave with some beautiful images from some really epic places but we’re here to give you so much more. These day(s) are going to be filled with real love stories, real couples and real full galleries of what elopement days should/could be like for all of our couples.

 

no one elopement is the same, so neither are these

That’s why our goal is to be able to provide full storytelling elopement galleries that showcase a variety of scenarios, that allow you to show off not only your skillset and creativity but provide realistic galleries that your ideal couple could imagine themselves in. That’s why you can expect something along the lines of:

  • Epic Locations

  • Beautiful Florals

  • Getting Ready Photos - together or separately

  • First Looks

  • Intimate Moments

  • Fun Activities
