Immersed In-Person Experiences
Not just a workshop, an experience
one-of-a-kind experiences that inspire you to change the way you think, shoot, work, and live
2024 WORKSHOP
April 17th & 18th
Northern California
Our new 2024 workshop is different than anything we’ve done before. More education, more high end content, and more access to students. It features two separate days of all-day content, individually sold or discounted for the entire experience.
The first day will be conference style teaching by Anni on some of her most requested topics (*hint* think storytelling, getting into the luxury market, pricing). We will end the day with a bonus Q+A with a Luxury planner (can you guess who?) where nothing is off the table and in most cases is the highlight of every educational experience.
The following day will be full day luxury content shoot, leaving no detail behind. We have carefully hand selected our venue to be an investment in location - both in the space and the city - which will reach a higher end market via your portfolio.
Apart from this shoot being completely stunning from Manda’s unparalleled eye for design, Anni will also lead the day and give hands on instruction to students who want an inside look at how to capture those stand out images.
“Immersed went beyond education. Anni and Manda went beyond what they needed to do to create the best learning experience. They and Hannah treated us like best friends. And the education, the lodging, the food, and the experience were absolutely incredible. I felt like I left with a family. And learned a ton. 14/10 would go again.”
Jodi
Immersed workshops are unlike any other photography workshop you’ve ever been to.
“Let me just say that I was a skeptical about workshops in general, and IMMERSED proved me so wrong. It was absolutely worth every penny. I was able to push myself out of my comfort zone and challenge myself creatively, make friendships for life, and immerse myself in a new place and culture that I will never forget. It really was the experience of a lifetime. Anni and Manda thought of every little detail (I’m talking gift bags, amazing food, beautiful accommodations, models that actually fit the part, perfectly curated florals and styling, everything I could ever have dreamed of). There’s no way I could have pulled this off if I had tried to do it on my own. I cried when it was time to go, I’m already planning future adventures with the friends I met there, and you can bet I’ll be back for more!”
Cara
“OMG, where do I start. Immersed was an absolutely amazing experience! I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The accommodation, the food, the shoots - everything was 5 stars! You can tell the extra effort Anni and Manda put into ensure we all had the most outstanding experience. Small things like providing us with microfibre towels during our waterfall shoots and paring us up with girls they knew we would get along well with. Seriously so incredibly blessed to be included in this workshop - a once in a lifetime experience!”

Immersed Workshops
Not just a workshop. An Experience.
View Past Retreats
Glacier National Park, Montana
Days will be spent outdoors, either at our private glamping site or exploring the stunning landscapes of Glacier National Park.
The Roam Beyond experience is one spent connecting and unwinding in nature, morning yoga surrounded by mountain views, unique roaming cabins with outdoor seating areas, group campfires and hot showers.
This experience will fuel the soul of an adventurer, hiking deep into the backcountry to a styled shoot at a pristine glacier lake, all while discovering how to seamlessly photograph couples in nature to highlight grandiosity and beauty of a place.
We intentionally chose a location that gives us close access to the breathtaking landscapes of this national park during one of the best months of the year.
July 25th – 29th, 2022 | 4 days, 4 nights

Todos Santos, Mexico
As this may be your first time traveling and shooting in a different country, we want to give you everything you need to build confidence throughout this experience. From packing lists to personal check in's from the Immersed team, you will be supported throughout the entire process.
We will have time each day learning what it takes to become a successful destination elopement photographer, from marketing to how to create stand out images from Anni Graham. We have multiple styled shoots planned, but “portfolio building” will not be our main focus here. We want you to try new things, find new perspectives, break out of your comfort zone, and discover what it really takes to tell a story. The location and shoots will easily be some of the most unique work you’ve ever created, but we want you to be intentional with how you use these styled shoots to become a better photographer.
We value time spent together and know from past experiences that this will be a place where you find life-long friends in the industry.

Anni
Hi, I'm Anni, and I currently live in Oregon, but spend most my time traveling with my amazing couples from all around the world to incredible places that are both inspiring and meaningful. When I'm not working, I'm probably traveling with my husband to some bucket list place that feels impossible to miss out on.
I've experienced love, friendship, and human connection to be one of the deepest pursuits in life and feel so honored to be able to document these timeless memories for people all over the world. I find so much meaning in creating experiences for couples that makes them fall more in love with each other and becomes something to look back on and feel for a lifetime
