Who is this workshop for?
This masterclass is designed for wedding professionals who want to refine their craft and grow their business. Whether you are a photographer, videographer, content creator or wedding planner, our event provides tools, inspiration and connections to help you reach a new level in the wedding industry. Join us and surround yourself with like-minded people who are striving for excellence and long-term success.
How do wedding planners participating in the workshop receive professional photo material captured during the day?
In addition to being able to film content on their phones during the workshop, wedding planners will receive all the photo material captured by the lead photographers, Alyona and Nikolay Simon, plus personal portrait images. These can be used by planners to position themselves on social media, update their portfolios and websites, and promote their services.
Our workshop is also a great opportunity to collaborate with other talented participants – photographers, videographers and content creators – for future projects, joint posts, reels and more.

How many participants are expected at the workshop?
Our masterclasses usually host between 10 and 15 participants, and we always work in small groups so that everyone has enough time with the models and can capture all the scenes without stress. Those who have already attended our workshops know that our shooting day is clearly structured. We create different shooting setups and rotate the groups throughout the day so that everyone can capture the full “wedding day journey” and leave happy with their results.
If I bring someone with me, will we get a discount?
Yes, if you bring a friend or partner, you will receive a 100€ discount on your ticket.
What is your refund policy?
Once your participation has been confirmed by paying the deposit for our workshop, your investment becomes non-refundable in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. However, in case of illness or if you are unable to attend, you are welcome to transfer or sell your ticket to another participant.
Can I publish the results of my work on my website and use them to promote my services?
Yes, you are allowed to use the images you create for any purpose, except for advertising your own workshops using materials produced at our workshop.
