JOSHUA TREE ELOPEMENT WORKSHOPS
Escape the Noise. Find Your Vision. Reconnect with Your Photography.
Let's be honest, the photography world can be a noisy place. Endless scrolling, fleeting trends, the constant push to "do more." Sometimes, amidst the hustle, it's easy to lose that initial spark – the pure joy of creating, the deep connection to your art. You pour so much of yourself into your work, but when was the last time you truly poured back into you?
THE OVERWHELM IS REAL
MORE THAN JUST A WORKSHOP
Here at MCP Workshops, we believe in more than just refining your craft. We believe in the profound power of photography to not only elevate your skills but to help you reconnect with yourself and the essence of why you first picked up a camera. This is your invitation to step away from the distractions. To quiet the external chatter and tune into your own unique creative voice.
Our workshops aren't just about technical mastery or curated shoots (though you'll get plenty of that!). They're designed to be an immersive experience where you can breathe, experiment, and rediscover the pure, unadulterated passion that ignited your photographic journey. Ready to escape the noise and find yourself again, one frame at a time? Let's rediscover the magic together.

We have thoughtfully tailored each workshop in our Joshua Tree Series to the unique characteristics of this iconic desert vibe. You'll receive hands-on photography guidance and gain invaluable insights into the logistical aspects of planning and executing elopements at Joshua Tree National Park. We cover details, from understanding local permit requirements and scouting locations to managing unpredictable weather and adapting to diverse terrains. You will leave feeling refreshed and creatively energized. Your newfound confidence will help you convert those inquiries into bookings, even during tough times.

“Expect” engaging discussions and constructive feedback.
We invite you to join us at an "optional social gathering dinner" ( not included in the fee) after the workshop, where we can engage in discussion, Q&A, constructive feedback, and, most importantly, foster genuine friendships amongst attendees, your future cheerleaders, and collaborators!
