How many participants typically attend your workshops?
We always work in intimate groups to ensure that everyone enjoys ample time with the models and decorations. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy, promoting a culture where everyone looks out for one another. For those who have previously attended our workshops, you know that our shooting days are well-structured. We create numerous setups and rotate groups throughout the day to ensure that you capture the entire journey of a wedding day and leave satisfied with the outcomes.
I'm aware that you provide the opportunity to participate in both the pop-up and full-day wedding workshops. Could you please explain the differences between them?
We offer two types of workshops: pop-up and full-day wedding. Additionally, we provide packages that allow you to combine both, benefiting from a discounted combo ticket and maximizing your experience in the chosen destination. Pop-up workshops require a lower investment and are typically conducted outdoors in the most iconic areas of cities. These sessions include elements such as sessions with retro cars, stationary sets, floral arrangements, and more.
On the other hand, our full-day wedding workshops meticulously recreate the entire journey of a wedding day. This includes capturing moments from the morning of the bride to the ceremony, wedding table, and the first dance of the newlyweds. This workshop type is especially cherished by our clients, as it helps create a unique series, elevates portfolios to a new level, and attracts more of the ideal clients.
Do I have individual time with the models and decorations?
We organise participants into small groups to tailor the experience effectively. Similar shooting styles are grouped together; for instance, fine art photographers working with film are placed in a group, and those who favour flash photography are grouped accordingly. The small group size facilitates seamless coordination of timing, ensuring that everyone not only enjoys an equal amount of time but also some individualized attention with both models and decorations.
Are there any additional costs not included in the ticket price?
Accommodation and travel costs are not included. After enrollment, you gain access to the WhatsApp group, where attendees frequently communicate, coordinating shared transfers and accommodations.
As a photographer and videographer from the same company, can we both attend under a single ticket?
It's not uncommon to have multiple creatives working under your wedding photography and videography business, and we're here to offer you the best opportunity to capture a wealth of beautiful content. Our tickets are sold on a per-person basis; however, if you choose to attend together, we do provide a reduced rate for the second ticket.
What are your refund terms and conditions?
Upon confirming your attendance by submitting a deposit payment for our workshop, the investment becomes non-refundable, as per our Terms & Conditions.
Am I permitted to submit the outcomes of my work to blogs?
Absolutely. There are no restrictions on submissions.
Can wedding experts, such as makeup artists, planners, florists, designers, and other professionals, participate in the workshops and weddings organized by us?
Certainly! Please send us a request, and we will be in touch shortly.
Is your question not on the list?
