I recently had the chance to attend the Into Iceland We Go 2025 photography workshop with Beth Mancuso, and I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it. The moment we arrived; Beth’s careful planning and expert touch were evident. The itinerary struck a perfect balance between structured shoots and spontaneous moments. The experience was both inspiring and energizing—from the jaw-dropping Icelandic landscapes to the thrill of capturing wildlife up close. One of the absolute highlights for me was photographing puffins. Seeing these charismatic little birds up close in their natural habitat was unforgettable. Beth offered helpful insights into wildlife photography while also respecting the natural environment. Her guidance was encouraging, never overwhelming, and always tailored to individual skill levels. Whether you were shooting in auto or fully manual, she met you where you were and helped you push further. Beth guided us with patience and insight, helping us position ourselves for the best shots without disturbing the puffins. It was a perfect mix of adventure and skill-building. Beth herself was a fantastic guide—approachable, knowledgeable, and passionate. She offered practical advice, creative challenges, and plenty of encouragement. Whether we were shooting waterfalls, beaches, lupine or puffin colonies perched on sea cliffs, there was always something new to learn. Beth’s passion for photography and for Iceland was contagious. She didn’t just teach us how to take better photos — she helped us connect deeply with the land we were photographing. The workshop was well-organized, with comfortable accommodations, seamless travel, and a well-paced itinerary that gave us time to shoot, reflect, and connect with fellow creatives. This wasn’t just a workshop. It was a journey — creatively, personally, and visually. I came home with not just stunning images, but lasting memories and a renewed love for photography. If you're looking for a photography trip that’s equal parts adventure and artistic growth, I’d absolutely recommend this workshop. Iceland is magical—and with Beth leading the way, you'll come home not just with incredible photos, but lasting memories.

This was probably the most amazing trip I have ever been on. Iceland was so incredibly majestic and beautiful at every turn. The only thing that made it better was that it was a photography workshop. Beth and Sally were wonderful teachers and helped me learn so much. I could not have asked for more.

Lindsey was a terrific leader, full of knowledge on photography and in the Badlands Nat'l Park. Accommodations were top notch. Despite the weather not being great, Lindsey always had a "plan B".

The group was fun, friendly and so nice. We were guided to the best locations at the best hours of each day. The “bunkhouse” was very comfortable. The food was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Great time and met new friends!
