Welcome to a series of immersive workshops designed for photographers and wedding planners who believe that exceptional weddings start with strong, inspired collaboration.

This ongoing workshop series is more than just education—it’s a creative retreat, a professional accelerator, and a deep dive into Croatia’s most stunning wedding destinations, beginning with the magical city of Dubrovnik.

Designed for photographers and wedding planners who value collaboration as much as craft, these retreats offer a rare opportunity to deepen your understanding of what it truly means to work in the destination wedding industry. At the heart of each experience is the essential relationship between planner and photographer—two roles that, when aligned, create magic for couples and businesses alike.

At the core of each workshop is the powerful relationship between photographers and planners. These events are built to strengthen that connection, encouraging a shared understanding of each other’s craft, workflow, and vision. In today’s luxury wedding market, successful collaboration is essential—and this experience is your opportunity to refine it.

This workshop series is not just about content creation or styled shoots—it’s about transformation. It’s about stepping into an inspiring space where creativity, connection, and professional growth come together in some of Croatia’s most breathtaking wedding destinations.

With beautifully curated photoshoots, in-depth education, and moments of true connection, these workshops help you explore how to tell meaningful stories in unfamiliar landscapes, how to connect with destination clients, and how to present your work to attract them. You’ll leave with a refreshed portfolio, insider knowledge, and a new level of confidence—not just in your technical skills, but in your ability to grow your brand with intention.

This is a retreat in every sense: a space to learn, reflect, and reset—surrounded by like-minded creatives who are here not to compete, but to uplift and grow together.

Meet the Hosts

Led by Industry Experts. Rooted in Connection. Inspired by You.

Each workshop is led by a carefully selected team of experienced creatives from the world of weddings and design—photographers, planners, stylists, and brand mentors—who believe that the best learning happens through generosity, honesty, and shared experience.

They’re not here to lecture. They’re here to guide, support, and open doors—sharing real strategies, creative workflows, and personal insights from years of working in high-end destination weddings. Whether it’s uncovering the secrets to seamless vendor collaboration, mastering the art of getting published, or learning how to stand out in a competitive market, these mentors are here to show you how it’s really done.

This is not a classroom. It’s a circle. A community of passionate creatives who come together to inspire, encourage, and help each other grow—both professionally and personally.

Learning here is both profound and playful—open, inspiring, and full of real-world insights. Industry experts will reveal their approaches, creative processes, and behind-the-scenes strategies. You’ll walk away with practical tools, new ideas, and meaningful industry connections that go far beyond the workshop itself.

Plus, you’ll gain guidance on how to get your work featured on renowned wedding blogs—an essential step in building your brand and attracting your dream clients.

Whether you’re looking to expand into destination weddings, elevate your portfolio, or build a stronger network with like-minded professionals, this workshop series offers the perfect blend of growth, creativity, and coastal magic.
