Retreat Photography for the Celebrate your Essence Retreat

Capturing the Magic of Wellness Retreats

Recently I had the pleasure of attending a retreat at Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Centre in Maple Ridge. The retreat was hosted by Michele Labelle and Vickie Petrescu and focused on yoga, ceremony and mindfulness. I was invited to attend and take photos. I’ve shared some of my favourite photos from the weekend in the gallery below.

One of the reason I love retreat photography is because it embodies all the thing I love, I love nature, candid photography, artsy shots of leaves and trees, drone photography, not to mention amazing food and mindful movement.

Retreat Photography + Videography: Elevating Your Retreat Marketing

In addition to photography, I filmed video footage to create a short retreat trailer, showcasing the energy and essence of the weekend. A well-crafted retreat video allows organizers to:

🎥 Give potential attendees a glimpse of the experience
🎥 Highlight the retreat’s unique atmosphere and offerings
🎥 Build excitement and anticipation for future events

Capturing the serene and transformative moments at the recent women’s yoga and meditation retreat at Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Centre in Maple Ridge was a truly inspiring experience. The tranquil beauty of the setting provided the perfect backdrop for the retreat’s peaceful energy, and through my photography and videography, I was able to create immersive visuals that not only document these powerful moments but also help attract future participants.

Whether it’s intimate, meditative moments or the collective spirit of the group, I work closely with retreat organizers to bring the essence of their events to life. From local retreats to destinations around the world, I specialize in crafting professional, high-quality photos and videos that showcase the magic of wellness retreats, helping to share their story and inspire others to join.

Why Retreat Photography Matters

Retreat photography isn’t just about capturing beautiful moments—it’s an essential tool for attracting future participants and showcasing the retreat experience. High-quality, professional photos and videos allow retreat leaders to:

Tell a Story – Potential attendees want to envision themselves in the experience. Authentic, emotion-filled images make that possible.
Boost Visibility – Stunning visuals help retreat organizers stand out on websites, social media, and promotional materials.
Create Lasting Memories – A well-documented retreat allows guests to relive their experience and share it with others.

The Perfect Backdrop: Loon Lake Lodge, Maple Ridge, BC

Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Centre provided the perfect natural setting for reflection, connection, and inspiration. Nestled in the forests of Maple Ridge, BC, the venue’s serene lake, lush greenery, and peaceful atmosphere created an idyllic escape from the busyness of daily life.

During the retreat, I captured everything from quiet lakeside meditations to shared meals and deep conversations, ensuring that each moment was documented with care. The venue’s natural light, rustic beauty, and tranquil surroundings made every shot effortlessly stunning.
