THRIVE: WHERE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS EVOLVES
At Thrive, we don’t just talk about reaching the next level – we help you make it happen.
Thrive goes beyond the usual conference format. Yes, you’ll hear incredible insights from our speakers, but you’ll also shoot alongside them, see how they work in real-time, and walk away with stunning portfolio content to showcase.
It’s more than just learning – it’s doing.
WHAT MAKES THRIVE DIFFERENT?
- Inspiration Meets Action: On Day One, you’ll listen to our six mentors share their talks, packed full of inspiration and strategies, as well as valuable insights into their creative processes. On Day Two, you take that inspiration into the field, where you’ll shoot alongside the speakers, observing how they direct, compose, and think through each image. We also have a full day’s programme of business talks designed to fill in the gaps in your businesses and give you practical solutions to common issues.
- Diverse Learning Opportunities: Take part in up to three different shoots with three different mentors in one day. That’s three unique sets of images for your portfolio, social media, and blog posts. It’s a level of variety and insight you won’t find anywhere else.
- All-Inclusive, Creative Environment: Thrive is hosted at Yotel Imaginex in the centre of Edinburgh where everything – learning, shooting, and networking – happens in one place. We take care of your surroundings, your food, and give you time to connect with fellow photographers in a relaxed, inspiring space.
- Tailor the Experience to Your Needs: Thrive is flexible and each day is individually ticketed. Stay for both days and fully immerse yourself in the experience, or drop in for the shoots you’re most excited about. Whether you’re here for the full experience or just to learn from a speaker you admire, Thrive gives you the flexibility to take what you need.

What’s New This Thrive?
This March, our Thrive conference for wedding photographers is serving you some very special city vibes in Edinburgh.
Our next Thrive wedding photography conference is on the 10-11th March at Yotel in Edinburgh’s city centre.
- Thrive In Person: Imaginex is a high tech visually impactful space. This one is going to feel very immersive but also kinda cosy, we want you to make yourself right at home.
- Thrive Online: Missed a day two session or want to revisit one of the business talks? We’ve got you covered. All of our Day Two speakers will host online sessions in the two weeks after the event, and these will be recorded so you can watch at your own pace.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss Thrive
2026 is our ten year anniversary for the conference so we want to make this one extra special Thrive isn’t just another conference. It’s a unique opportunity to learn from a carefully curated lineup of photographers who aren’t just here to inspire – they’re here to share their business know-how and practical shooting techniques. This combination of real-world business advice and hands-on learning is what sets Thrive apart.
Flexible Ticket Options
We understand that not everyone can commit to both days, and that’s okay. You can buy a ticket for Day One to soak in all the talks, or you can choose specific Day Two shoot sessions with the mentors you’re most excited about. We encourage you to join us for the full experience, but even if you attend just a part, you’ll leave with plenty of value.
Join us at Thrive: March 10-11th at Yotel Imaginex, Edinburgh
This is more than just a conference – it’s an opportunity to transform how you shoot weddings and run your business. Whether you’re looking to build your portfolio, fine-tune your business strategy, or simply get inspired, Thrive is your place to grow.
