Michael and Carina Workshop Behind-the-Scenes | Backstage from 2become1 on Vimeo.

We are beyond excited to announce dates for our next workshop, our first international photography workshop, “Horizons” or “Orrizonti.” We fell in love with this region in the summer of 2015.

From August 28th – 31st, 2016, we are returning together with local Italian wedding planner & stylist Federica Beni of Honey & Cinnamon the Wedding Sparrow Team, and several other carefully chosen artists. Photographers from across the world are cordially invited to join us for an inclusive multi-day retreat + workshop in the rolling hills of Italy’s Marche Region. We have rented out an entire villa to share with our attendees just outside of Ancona, where we will have time for our welcome dinner, classes, & intensive Q & A sessions. The workshop will feature several highly curated styled shoots with professional models and photographers will be free to submit images for publication.

Is this right for you? 

This workshop is for photographers who have been in business 1+ years, and have a good grasp on the basics of photography. If you are interested in photographing in one of Europe’s most beautiful regions, connecting with your dream client, refining your brand, getting your work published, building lasting friendships in the industry, shooting FILM or simply shooting abroad, this workshop is for you! Finally, this is a workshop for photographers interested in PRACTICAL advice. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Review: “Remember in college when you’d sign up for that class that sounded so interesting? You’d show up the first day, sit through the class and think, “Wow. This is going to kill me.” But if you think back to that interesting college class, you showed up every day, you paid attention, and you became knowledgeable and awesome at a new trade. That’s what this workshop did for us. We had the opportunity to push our limits. Try new film stocks. Shoot indoors. Shoot boudoir. Play with fire (literally). We left the workshop feeling stretched, excited and new….which is exactly what we were looking for. Weddings are our business. And sometimes they can really take a lot out of you; you can easily feel rusty and creatively empty. This workshop was our opportunity to play, practice and create. We left… with a renewed spirit and a ravished creative appetite.” –The Happy Bloom

Lianne and Erich have been on our blog before.

Soon after they were in front of our cameras as a styled bride and groom, Lianne contacted us for her maternity boudoir session.

We were so honored to be invited back into the intimacy of their beautiful home to welcome Baby Isla to the world with a lifestyle portrait sessionon film.

Not only is this beautiful family simply made for photos, their house is a photographer’s paradise. We were able to shoot 100% film in 100% natural light.

We are just in love with this precious family and are so excited to finally share these scans on our blog!

Back in August when we photographed our first all-film, Hochzeitswahn bridal boudoir editorial (link), Carina’s brother was visiting from Munich.
He came along on the shoot and helped document some behind-the-scenes footage on our DSLRs since they weren’t being used.
We were browsing our hard drives this past weekend and came across the folder.
Maybe he has a future as a cinematographer? 😉
We thought we’d share because even though these are like our shaky-cam “home movies,” we know we LOVE behind-the-scenes videos from other photographers.
We also love how it shows some of the goings-on with our wonderful team, and <3
We have a few big projects coming up this year and we’ll be sure to incorporate some behind the scenes footage!
We cut this down from about 15 minutes of video. Enjoy!

München Hochzeitsfotografen | Destination Wedding Photographers

Eure Hochzeitsbilder sollen zeitlos sein; deshalb legen wir grossen Wert darauf, dass unsere Fotos so natuerlich wie moeglich sind. Zarte Farben und ein romantisches Gefuehl – das beschreibt uns gut. Um diesen Fotografie Style zu erreichen, fotografieren wir auch zum Teil mit unseren Mittelformatkameras (Contax 645) mit “gutem altem Film” (meistens Fuji 400). Dies verleiht unseren Bildern eine ganz besondere Natuerlichkeit.

Unsere Bilder sind im aktuellen Hochzeitswahn Buch (siehe Cover!) und auf vielen internationalen Hochzeitsblogs zu finden: Elizabeth Anne Designs,  Burnett’s Boards, Wedding Sparrow,Le Magnifique, Bridal Musings, Project Wedding, Bayside Bride, Glamour and Grace, On The Go Bride, Tidewater and Tulle, Borrowed and Blue, The Bridal Detective, Engaged & Inspired, und vielen mehr.

• 2 Fotografen (Michael & Carina)
• 8-12 Stunden Hochzeitsreportage
• Am Hochzeitstag: Vorbereitung, Trauung, Brautportraits, Couple Portraits, Familienbilder, Party-Bilder,..
• 1 Verlobungsshooting (1-2 Stunden); so koennen wir uns schonmal kennenlernen!
• alle bearbeiteten Bilder mit Reproduktionsrechten, high resolution (ca. 500-800 Hochzeitsfotos)
• downloadbare Online-Gallerie mit allen Bildern (bleibt 1 Jahr aufrufbar)
• alle Filmbearbeitungskosten
• rasche Bilduebergabe
• Anfahrtskosten in Muenchen

Moegliche Zusatzleistungen: Hochzeitsalbum (Leder, Leinen, Hardcover), Pre-Wedding Brautshooting, …

DON’T WORRY, GET MARRIED! …deshalb ist es gut zu wissen dass…

Die Plaetze sind begrenzt, also meldet Euch moeglichst schnell!

Wir freuen uns, Eure Liebesgeschichte zu hoeren!

xoxo, Michael & Carina
