    constant community

    The essence of ROAM lies in its vibrant community. With three monthly meet-ups, connecting with fellow ROAMers not only fosters motivation but also offers invaluable insights and knowledge into the world of travel wedding filmmaking.

    book Travel WEddings

    The Travel Wedding Booking Program within ROAM ensures that you will not only learn how to find and book travel weddings twice a month, but also secure them as bookings.

    Exclusive retreats

    Gain Access to ROAM's exclusive in-person workshops. From the mountains of Colorado last year, to the Oregon Coast this August, these retreats are meant to push you creatively, inspire your filmmaking, and motivate your soul as a videographer.

    Join Stanton for an elopement in Iceland and a full breakdown of a real-life four-day destination wedding in Tulum. Dive into hours of educational content as you witness every shot captured from both a BTS angle and on Stanton's camera.

    Monthly mentor sessions

    In addition to the two sessions per month for the booking program, plan to jump onto a third mentor call with everyone once per month to discuss anything and everything regarding your business.

    Master filmmaking and editing

    complete behind the scenes

    Jump into the filmmaking, editing, and business mind of Stanton as he lays out everything that he does to achieve the highest quality films, immersive and engaging edits, and high paying clients across the globe.

    I created ROAM for this simple reason - to teach others that creativity can be learned, and that hard work and the motivation to enact change will produce fruit. Real fruit. Life altering and fulfilling fruit. And this fruit is exponentially more impactful when you're surrounded by community.

    Your journey in life is the only shot you get - ROAM is an experience designed to change the trajectory of your filmmaking career through active community, constant mentorship, and real education.

    Stanton! I wanted to tell you this with all the humility in the world because you played a huge role in my business that helped me land this $25,000 Maui Wedding.

    I can't thank you enough for ROAM. It's the biggest reason why my Lake Como film is what it is and because she saw it she completely was in awe and imagined her film the same if not better.

    Beyond grateful for your friendship and mentorship in ROAM. Thank you. Thank you.
