Folks, if you don’t already love, love, love Jonathan and Melissa then today is going to hook you for life! They’re some of the most heartfelt, loving, wise, and peaceful people I’ve ever met and they’ve been instrumental in both of our lives. That’s why it was such a privilege to have them as our gorgeous models for our teaching shoot at our For the Love Workshop in Seattle. I love seeing how in love these two are!

Melissa’s laugh makes my heart swell up to ten times it’s size. Nope, more like a thousand!

Jonathan and Melissa: There is no way to fully express how thankful we are that you have come into our world and have given so much to the For the Love Workshop. Your hearts have been instrumental in so many lives and you have definitely blessed us more than you will ever know! Thank you for stepping in as models – we couldn’t have imagined having anyone else!

Hugs,
Erin

We teach photographers to build life-giving businesses that they absolutely love.

About Us

We're Jeff & Erin

We’re Jeff and Erin Youngren – and it’s our mission to help you thrive not just as a wedding photographer, but as a business owner. It’s time to set aside the stress and comparison of a hustle mindset, and build a life-giving business instead.

We met in college, got married, and started corporate jobs before we discovered (and fell in love with) wedding photography. But like many creative entrepreneurs, we were booking anything we could, strapped to our laptops and living dangerously close to burnout.

So we dug in and learned how to build a thriving business that supports our dream life – instead of a joyless business that runs a stressed-out life.

Today, we photograph only 10 Dreamie weddings per year, but we also run two other wedding brands plus a commercial studio in San Diego, CA. And we do it by only working the hours that fit into our life. The other hours? We spend those living a joyful life raising our two beautiful sons, James and Samuel.

hugs,

Jeff and Erin
