A day-by-day overview
Day 01 · Friday
Touch down in Marakech
Arrive and settle into our home for the next three nights: a colorful, traditional Riad tucked into the heart of the city. All painted tile surrounding a pool.
Sunset welcome drinks and dinner on the rooftop.
We will arrange for transfer from the airport.
Day 02 · Saturday
A day to explore the Souk (market)
Start with a rooftop breakfast before we head into the souk, easily some of the best shopping you'll do anywhere. Leather bags, hand-loomed rugs, brass lanterns, ceramics (honestly, bring an empty suitcase just in case).
In the afternoon you can chill by the pool or book a Hammam for a true local spa experience. Dinner out altogether.
Day 03 · Sunday
Up before the sun for hot air balloons
We wake up early for a hot air balloon ride over the Marrakech countryside, the kind of quiet and views you only get once in your life. Back to the Riad after to reset.
In the afternoon we head to Jardin Majorelle, a two-and-a-half-acre botanical garden and artist's landscape rescued and owned by the legendary fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.
Day 04 · Monday
Into the Desert
After breakfast we trade the Riad for the stone desert.
We head to our luxury camp in the Agafay Desert, check in and get settled.
Lounge by the pool and take in the sweeping views. As the light drops, we will have an apéro toast followed by dinner.
Day 05 · Tuesday
ATV Rides and Pottery
Today, we ride. Head out on quad bikes through the desert terrain. Then switch gears for a pottery workshop in the afternoon. We are girls that can do it all.
Dinner in camp, under the stars.
Day 06 · Wednesday
Final morning & goodbyes
Breakfast at camp, one last look at the desert, then we say goodbye. We head back to Marrakech altogether for flights home.

Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK). We've got airport pickup covered, just send your flight details once you've booked and we'll be there.

Yes. That's on purpose. Keeping it wedding photographers only is what makes the conversations different from a general "creatives" trip.

Yes, after you sign up you will receive a form and we will make sure you are taken care of!
