Photography is not just about what you shoot, but where you shoot.

It is also about networking with like minded others.

Sharing ideas and working together.

With over a decade of experience working in this industry, we decided to create a holiday - just for you.

With over 15 years in the modelling industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse and talented network of photographers and models from around the world. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—from studios and homes to Airbnbs and outdoor locations. Of all these, outdoor shoots have always held a special place in my heart. Although the UK offers many photographic opportunities, my passion for travel has led me to explore breathtaking locations across Europe and beyond. I’m often asked how I find such stunning places. The answer lies in my love of adventure and willingness to venture off the beaten path. One of my favourite destinations is the Alps. While many shy away from it due to snow, I discovered that early spring offers ideal temperatures and breathtaking scenery that provide a unique and captivating backdrop. Inspired by this, I founded Wanderlust Getaways to share these incredible experiences with other creatives. Understanding that not everyone prefers snowy climates, I also organise an annual trip to sunny Cyprus. This warm, Mediterranean destination offers a very different atmosphere, and with my industry experience, I handpick models to create inspiring, unforgettable trips. We welcome photographers of all skill levels, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. Many participants continue to collaborate long after the trips end. Photographers often share new techniques or equipment ideas, while models remain professional and respectful, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable schedule. Our trips focus on one-to-one shooting sessions, allowing photographers to work closely with each model and explore their creativity. The shoots are relaxed and balanced with plenty of breaks and opportunities for socialising, often leading to lasting friendships

"ABSOLUTE EPIC! CHAMONIX 2025 A GREAT & SUCCESSFUL EVENT!🥂🥂🥂 It is difficult to describe in words how I was feeling after I completed the most remarkable model photography event I have ever attended. A big thank you to Wanderlust Getaways and Ashley Ashton. It was so perfect in every sense for me. I was part of the event last year as well and it would be unfair to compare both the years, as for me both were equally enjoyable. Whilst last year was more exploratory as it was the first time, this year the preparation that has gone into it helped to the success of the event and a new bar was set."
