Hey Renee,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
You can use the “tribe_get_events()” function to get the needed events, however you will need to modify your template to include the structure and resources needed for the photo view layout.
To start, take a look within the photo.php and “photo” folder within the “views” folder in the Pro version of the plugin. This will help to layout the actual structure needed in your homepage template. Additionally, when looking at the Photo view in the calendar you can see the additional scripts that will need to be enqueued (https://cloudup.com/cEjQQUfDnix) in addition to the base scripts and styles that will also need to be enqueued on the home page.
An alternative may be to check out the Event Rocket plugin and try out the option for setting the calendar on the homepage.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks!
