workshop plus-one POLICY
We love that our participants want to share their photography workshop experience with someone special. To keep things enjoyable for everyone, here are a few simple guidelines.
Welcome to bring a plus-one
You're welcome to have a companion join you for travel, lodging, and the social side of the workshop. Having someone along for the adventure can make the experience even more memorable.
About the group house
We often stay together as a group in a shared Airbnb or VRBO. If you're staying there, your plus-one is of course welcome at the house -- for meals, downtime, and hanging out with the group. Participants staying at nearby lodging are equally welcome to bring their plus-one by the house for those same social moments.
The shared house is a communal space for everyone, regardless of where you're sleeping.
Respecting the learning environment
Our workshops are a meaningful investment for paying participants. To honor that, regardless of lodging arrangement, plus-ones are asked to:
Stay clear of active shooting locations during education sessions and guided photo time
Not join critiques, instruction, or any structured learning portions of the workshop
Avoid participating in group activities reserved for registered participants (unless they register separately)
What plus-ones can enjoy
Exploring the destination independently during workshop hours
Joining group meals and social gatherings at the house (unless noted otherwise)
Celebrating with participants at the end of each day
A note on fairness
These guidelines exist to protect the experience paying participants have signed up for. Instructors reserve the right to gently redirect plus-ones who unintentionally wander into learning sessions.
If your plus-one is interested in the full workshop experience, we'd love to have them register!
