A Fond Farewell to Andy Williams

After nearly 18 years of dedicated service, Andy Williams, a founding partner of Muench Workshops, has decided to retire from day-to-day operations as of December 31, 2024.

That chance meeting led to a long and fruitful partnership that saw the company grow from a small operation to one of the leading providers of photography workshops worldwide.

"I've had the privilege of working with incredible people, and the relationships we've built with both our team and clients have enriched my life in ways I never expected," said Andy. "While I'm retiring from the day-to-day, I'm excited to continue leading a few workshops through October 2025. I'm grateful for the experiences we've shared, and I look forward to seeing the new direction Muench Workshops takes with Sara and Luke."
