Roam retreat volume IV
when: September 21-25, 2026
5 days, 4 nights | ouray, colorado
"The Switzerland of america"
Waterfalls tumble down sheer cliffs, winding trails lead to alpine meadows, and the air itself carries a sense of wonder. It is the kind of place that calls you to pause, breathe deep, and awaken creativity... the perfect setting for a ROAM retreat.
This year’s focus is all about helping you book more of the weddings you truly want. Each day, you’ll hear from a speaker who will share strategies and inspiration tailored to your journey as a wedding filmmaker.
Following each presentation, we’ll workshop ideas, brainstorm, and craft approaches in a group setting that feel true to who you are and the kind of business you want to run. By the end of each day, you’ll walk away with personalized strategies that excite you and move you closer to booking more weddings with clients who align with your vision.

Booking more weddings

Films by Stanton
Emma brings the power of luxury-level expertise to our space - not for high-end artistry only, but because she’s built an empire as a business leader and videographer whose work has become synonymous with excellence. She’s here to teach one simple truth: the mechanics of elevating your brand, getting the clients you want, and booking more weddings - regardless of style or business direction.
Boomer isn’t a brand, he’s a principle: Multiply. He takes what he has - skill, story, and grit - and compounds it into momentum, turning ideas into systems and systems into results. From filmmaker to builder, he’s obsessed with the levers that grow demand: magnetic content, clear offers, and relentless follow-through. At the retreat, he’ll translate that into the room and the workshops so you leave with a focused, personal playbook - one fueled by a realization of your own unique identity as a wedding filmmaker.
Life is full of shifting seasons -changing passions, new goals, and evolving interests. How do you build a business that not only weathers those changes but thrives through them? Stanton Giles takes the stage in Ouray to share his journey of pivoting from engineering into weddings, stepping away, and then returning stronger than ever. His talk will focus on what it takes to keep your business profitable, adaptable, and built to last - so you can continue booking the weddings you want, no matter the season.

description
Imagine yourself deep in the mountains of Colorado experiencing PEAK fall colors as the aspens turn from yellow to orange, surrounded by the best community for 5 days. You're getting content, off-roading in jeeps, polar plunging in alpine lakes, and experiencing the true "Old West" of the USA.
From real ghost towns to styled shoots in the mountains with three different couples, this ROAM retreat is going to really fill your cup in regards to education and community time. With presentations each day and workshop time to really hone in on your business, you'll leave with a new outlook on your business going forward.
Once within ROAM, we found ourselves in this tight-knit community built around growth, creativity, and connection. The first retreat we attended in Oregon had us rediscovering our purpose and drive, rebuilding our confidence as artists, and finding new passion in life. We made fast, lifelong friendships that felt as if they’d always been there.
The people in ROAM are a direct reflection of what Stanton models and puts into it - full of encouragement, support, and intention. I knew without a doubt I’d be meeting up with this group in Iceland, where the experience was elevated and exceeded my expectations once again. I was a little nervous traveling alone for my first time internationally, but as soon as I met up with my Roammies, I immediately felt safe and like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. In addition to the friendships and support, the amazing adventures, and the gorgeous content I’m able to walk away with, these retreats have also become the revival of my passion when that creative block inevitably hits. I cannot wait to see the epic adventures that are in store for 2026!

What can I say about ROAM Retreats? As someone who has attended all three retreats, I can confidently say that this is one of the things I look forward to every year. As a creative business owner who is always filming and running a business, it's important to find something that brings you energy, excitement and encouragement to your soul. ROAM Retreats do all of that for me! ROAM started out as an educational course, but it quickly became a place of community for like-minded people and now, it has evolved further into an experience that is life-giving because of the retreat.
The retreat gives you an opportunity to experience all aspects of education, community, encouragement and friendship over 4-5 days together. Whether you are a seasoned videographer, an accomplished business owner or someone new in the industry, there’s absolutely no ego in this community and retreat. We are all in here to learn and experience the beauty of this community. If you seek longevity in your business, you need to invest in things that constantly bring you life so that you are not burned out or live in the mundane, and I believe in the ROAM Experience as a way of accomplishing that. This is something I want to be part of for a long time.

Not your typical retreat
ROAM is just.... different. It's hard to explain, easier to experience. And everyone that has come to a retreat can vouch for it. There is a vulnerability that everyone carries, a hunger to be authentic, and a drive to be the best at our craft.
It's not by coincidence that our retreats have so many repeat attendees. People value the community they find there and fire they leave with.
A core principle of ROAM is that your journey in the wedding industry isn't your identity
you are more than just a wedding creative
It's merely a portion of your story that we hope you will fully come alive within, deeper uncovering the mystery of what it means to be YOU. By doing everything we do in the biggest and most powerful way, we greater come into our purpose here on earth. We hope that your time in ROAM is also a portion of your story that you can look back on and know you gave your absolute best to being the most powerful version of yourself. Too heady? Maybe try reading it again :)
