IT’S not just a photography & VIDEOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

Where Wedding Photography
& Film Are Redefined

France, April 20-24, 2026

more than just a

workshop

This event is a shared space where vulnerability is welcome, honesty matters, and creativity isn’t something we perform – it’s something we experience together. We learn not only from the stories we tell through our cameras, but from the people standing beside us.
It’s a place to slow down, to listen, to question, to grow.
A place where you’re encouraged to take risks, to experiment, to rediscover your own artistic voice – and maybe even a part of yourself.

A PLACE TO

LEARN.
CREATE.
CONNECT.
FEEL.

EVERY GREAT ADVENTURE HAS AN

ORIGIN STORY

This workshop kicked off 2022, fueled by a little dream and a spark of madness. Today, it’s grown bigger than we’ve ever imagined. But this isn’t just about where it started for us; it’s about where it can take YOU. Think of this workshop as the beginning of fresh friendships, new perspectives, unexpected breakthroughs, and the kind of inspiration that makes you see the world through a brand-new lens.

Lukas korynta (USA)

Lukas Korynta is a documentary and film wedding photographer who focuses on genuine connections through his creative style and artistic eye. Originally from Prague, Lukas grew up surrounded by beautiful architecture and art. He worked as a journalist before finding himself in wedding photography 11 years ago. Now based on the west coast of the US, he’s been capturing destination weddings all over the world in places like Iceland, Spain or France.

ALEX VAIDEAN – SYMPHONY OF LIGHT (ROMANIA)

Symphony of Light is the vision of Alex Vaidean, a destination wedding photographer drawn to capturing not just how a wedding looks, but how it truly feels.

With a background shaped by photojournalism and fashion, and a deep love for film photography, her work blends honest observation with an editorial eye. Film, in particular, has shaped her pace and perspective, inviting her to slow down, think more deeply, and feel more intentionally.

Alex moves between quiet, unscripted moments and refined, artful compositions, always guided by presence, emotion, and atmosphere. She gives space for authenticity while gently directing when the moment calls for it.

Recognized by The Wed as one of the Top Wedding Photographers in Europe in 2024 and 2025, she works with couples who value experience, aesthetics, and emotional depth, creating imagery that lingers long after the day has passed.

MARCOS SANCHEZ (SPAIN)

Marcos Sanchez has spent over 15 years photographing weddings, developing a style that feels true to who he is. His approach blends documentary storytelling with fine art, always aiming to capture the quiet, honest moments — the ones that say the most about love and connection. He is drawn to rich contrasts, natural light, and a simple, elegant aesthetic that evokes emotion. In this workshop, he’ll be sharing the real stuff — what’s worked, what hasn’t, and why he believes simplicity & honesty always wins.

MAUREEN BLEEKER PAAL (UK / NETHERLANDS)

Maureen Bleeker Paal is a creative wellbeing and mindset mentor with a focus on community building, who has lived a nomadic lifestyle for over 23 years together with her family, calling places around the world — from Amsterdam to New York and now Brighton — home. A natural connector, she has hosted creative meetups, founded the Moksi Collective for creative entrepreneurs, and since 2018 has mentored creatives with a focus on wellbeing, mindset and business, helping them gain clarity, confidence and sustainable growth. With a background in writing, photography and international collaboration, her work centers on one guiding mission: creating meaningful connections from the heart.

Frequently asked Questions

The workshop will take place from April 20th (morning) to April 24th (departure by 11am). You can optionally arrive on April 19th (Sunday) and stay in the villa / chateau. Our home for Glowsperience 6.0 is a handpicked villa – located between Nantes and Bordeaux (more informations will be sent out via email). From here, we’ll head out to all our shoot locations and creative sessions.

The closest airports are Bordeaux (BOD), Limoges Airport (LIG) and Bergerac Airport (EGC). Paris (CDG, ORY & BVA) is also an option — from there you can either continue by rental car or by train. We recommend getting in touch with us before booking your flights; by then we will have confirmed the exact accommodation details, which we are currently finalizing. If you’re arriving on Sunday and booking the extra night, we’re happy to organize a free shuttle from the nearest train station. Otherwise, a rental car is the most flexible option.

We and all the speakers will be staying in a beautiful, spacious villa with many rooms. Most rooms are double rooms with two beds. The rooms will definitely be separated by gender. You can request a single room, and we’ll do our best — but we still can’t guarantee it. It depends on availability and the setup of the villa. But remember, from now on, we are a family 🙂

Our principle is quality over quantity. Therefore, we offer only 12-14 spots (depending on the Glowsperience edition). This ensures that everyone has enough space to grow and thrive.

No worries! Breakfast and dinner (prepared by our private chef) are included for you at the villa. Snacks, drinks (maybe even beer and wine, haha), coffee, fruits, and more will be available throughout your stay. For lunch, depending on the schedule, there will be the option to prepare things like lunchboxes, as we’ll be on the move sometimes! And of course, the BBQ is included too!

When we’re out shooting or exploring away from the villa, meals and drinks are most likely not included — but we’ll make sure to stop at restaurants or grocery stores along the way.

Of course! During breaks, feel free to jump into the pool, grab a cold drink, and have a nice chat with the other participants and speakers! On Wednesday, we have fixed activities only until around (after)noon. After that, we could head into town, explore nature nearby, or just relax by the pool — and in the evening, there will be the BBQ Night.

Yes, absolutely! That’s the beauty of Glowsperience—we’ll spend all the days together (small changes may occur), and you’ll have the chance to get to know each speaker better during the smaller moments and chat with them, asking as many questions as you want! As we said: We are a family 🙂

In addition to the host Mati (who’s always happy to answer any questions you might have), we have a wedding planner, a stylist, a florist, and a videographer on board! We also collaborate with the best bridal fashion brands to ensure we can deliver the most professional and stunning results for you!

We’ve developed some super cool concepts with the team and booked amazing venues with even better settings. We’ll be shooting both indoors and outdoors — at our beautiful villa, at a huge historical Chateau, and a few more surprise locations.

Definitely! You can split your payment into 2-6 payments!

Yes, there’s a Buddy Ticket Rate! This means: If you bring a friend to the workshop and share a room, you’ll get a total of €600 off! That’s €300 per person!

“This workshop was more than just a turning point for my photography – it was a turning point for me. It opened my eyes to possibilities I hadn’t even dreamed of and gave me the push I needed to step into the photographer I always wanted to be. I left not only with new skills and a stronger portfolio but with a sense of clarity and purpose I’d been searching for. The connections I made, the moments I experienced, and the inspiration I felt – it all stayed with me. If you’re even thinking about it, trust me: take the leap. It’s life-changing.”
