If you’re pouring your heart into creating a retreat, crafting the perfect experience, choosing a stunning location, curating the smallest details, your work deserves to be remembered. The energy, the connections, the quiet moments of transformation. This is where I come in.
Bringing me in as your retreat photographer ensures that your retreat lives on beyond the experience itself. Beautiful, emotive images help you tell the story of your retreat, attract future attendees, and give those who were there something truly special to take home. A reminder of what they felt. A keepsake of their journey.
To make this happen, I need to be booked at the very start of your planning. Retreat dates fill up quickly in my diary, and factoring photography into your budget early means no last-minute stress or costs you haven’t covered in to your ticket price.
Beautiful, thoughtful photography an investment in the future of your retreats and the lasting impact on those who join you.
If you’re planning a retreat, let’s talk. Let’s make sure your retreat is not only experienced but remembered.
Here’s what some clients have said about the importance of capturing the essence of their retreat:

“I genuinely haven’t had anyone take such good photos of me when i am in “work mode” and you, your very being, have captured such organic beautiful photos. You are definitely a keeper! Thank you!”
Angela Bentley
“Ali Ford is more than a photographer, she is an artist, a soul-seer, and a deeply intuitive presence on my Retreats.
Ali captures not just the journey of the participants, but also me, the practitioner in my element, doing the work I was born to do. And somehow, she reflects that back in a way that makes me feel truly seen. That is a rare and precious gift.
She documents transformation: the blocks being released, the joy returning, the sacred stillness, the laughter, the fierce breakthroughs. Her images are breathtaking and alive with meaning. They become lasting, tangible memories of growth and healing, for everyone involved.
Ali is also my quiet witness. While I’m deep in the process, holding space for others, she gently observes everything I might miss and then shows me the magic I never even saw happening. Her eye is unmatched, and her heart is always in the room.
And here’s something important I’ve learned:
When you invite a photographer like Ali onto a Retreat, they must be there as an honoured, valued part of the team, not as a free favour or an afterthought.
Photography is an art. It is a business. It is energy.
When a photographer feels aligned, respected, and fairly paid for their gifts, they bring their full creative power and that is when true magic is captured. You get gold because the energy is clean and clear. If you want someone to bring the soul of your Retreat to life in imagery to honour your work, your people, and your process Ali Ford is the one.
So much love and respect for this incredible woman.
Forever grateful.”
