I get it. I used to feel like you do now.
…Asking myself, how do I set myself apart in a highly-competitive industry, fast-becoming saturated with other talented videographers?
So I made it my mission to work on my filmmaking and storytelling skills, define my style and ensure I had a niche offering …
Now, I only commission my ideal clients in my dream locations and I want to help you achieve that same success while growing your business and building a better work-life balance.
EVOLVE VIDEOGRAPHY RETREATS: WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY WORKSHOP IN SWITZERLAND FOR COUPLES & FILM TEAMS.
LEARN ‘THE ART OF STORYTELLING THROUGH CINEMATIC VIDEOGRAPHY’
TO EVOLVE YOUR BUSINESS AND GROW YOUR REPUTATION IN THE WEDDING INDUSTRY
Educating, Inspiring and Empowering Wedding Filmmakers
– Here’s a sneak peek of this awesome workshop
It’s time to make your Vision a reality…
An INVITATION TO COUPLES AND PARTNER WEDDING FILM TEAMS WHO UNDERSTAND THAT STANDING STILL IS NOT AN OPTION
If you’re ready to EVOLVE your business to the next level, this workshop is for YOU.
CREATIVE AND DETERMINED, you want to finesse and improve your videography skills.
Grow your business, develop skills and gain access to industry insight.
This Evolve Retreat is unlike any other wedding videography workshop – it not only includes practical sessions and one-to-one mentoring you also get to learn alongside your partner.
THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED IF YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO THE
NEXT LEVEL, AS A CONFIDENT AND SUCCESSFUL FILMMAKER.
Videographers working together as a team, either both filming or offering a combination of videography and photography as a ‘package’, is booming …
Before now there has been no training setting aimed just for YOU and your fellow videographers working in the same way.
But in 2019 I opened the doors of the ‘Evolve Retreat’ to all filmmakers and its unique concept for intimate, highly-curated training workshops in Switzerland.
“To be honest I only thought I could learn small golden nuggets from Emma when in fact I was blown away with the amount of insight she has shared with me and I have learnt so much more than I could have imagined. If anyone is sitting on the fence, they need to take the leap now!”

“Emma’s work is as stunning as the scenery your eyes are awarded with as you travel through Switzerland. ‘Story Of Your Day’ is not only worth a view but a long lingering visit as you settle back with your favourite poison and take in the work of a filmmaker who’s truly learnt what the movie button was intended for on a DSLR or mirrorless camera”
Neale James

I knew that by looking at Emma’s work that it was something to aspire to. When you run your own business you can get stuck in a rut so I don’t think you can put a price on training as an investment and Emma’s expertise has been invaluable
