what we do goes beyond the lens.

It's not about what makes it to frames on your walls, or your social media page. This is about making the process incredibly accessible to you, where you can be immersed.

In every trip package (above an hour),

we provide


During the consultation, we’ll talk about dietary preferences and menu options—whether it be trail mix or a meal cooked over the fire.

Food and nutrition


Safety and structure will foster space for art. At least one of our media team or guides will have an industry-standard certification for assessing, treating, and managing medical emergencies if any were to occur on a trip.

A gear list and day-of inventory

We’ll send you out a file with all the gear recommended for the trip, and give recommendations on what to bring and wear for each season, and do an inventory to make sure you have all the gear you need to stay comfortable and safe day-of.


The spirit of adventure and friendly, fun-loving professionals!

Heartwood Wild is a passion project. We love the wilderness and created an incredibly intentional team. We deeply care about the process and want to create an inviting, warm environment.
