The Roots Workshop is focused on taking you through a wedding day. Right from the getting ready to the evening. We guide you through each step of the way and introduce you to our own techniques, tips & advice as we’ve learned it over the years.
You’ll have plenty of time to take your own photos and ask your questions; so this workshop does not mean you go home with just some fantastic knowledge, but with some awesome portfolio content too.
One of the most beautiful Bavarian castles we’ve had the pleasure to shoot at; Wasserschloss Unsleben is one that we often think about. Photographically, it is a dream – it’s got those beautiful soft, warm tones mixed with some wild foliage that add to it’s rustic charm.
We’ll start the morning with a welcome coffee and biscuits (British thing) and take some time to relax, and break all the ices we need to. Once we’re all settled, caffeinated and ready to absorb some banging knowledge we’ll get right into the presentations.

It’s no fun going out on a shoot with an empty stomach and a head full of information! We’ll have an awesome lunch together and allow you some time to let all what we presented settle down. Once lunch is done (We do have a time limit here), we’re off to go shoot.
Now the real fun starts. We take you through each main stage of the wedding day; right from the getting ready to the evening and first dance. We will explain our workflow dealing with different lighting situations throughout the day and how to interact with the couple.

– Then a first look

This workshop is for anyone and everyone who wants to learn about the process of shooting a wedding or improve their own. You don’t need to be a seasoned pro, but you should have a basic understanding of how a DSLR camera works and exposes. We won’t be covering simple topics like what shutter speed, aperture and ISO all are.
We are hosting a maximum of 10 people. This allows more time to shoot for each of you.
You certainly can come as a couple team / duo; please contact us directly to discuss the details and prices for you two.
Yes! We encourage you to use the photos you take! The only the thing we need you to do is to make sure that you tag / link to each of the vendors (Location, Styling, H&M, models etc…) whenever you do share your shots. We will provide you with all the links.
We also ask that you share your photos with the vendors so they can use them too. Of course they will tag you and send their traffic back to you. Neat, right?
Please bring your cameras geared up with memory cards & batteries, lenses and a flash (if you have one). Those are the main things, but feel free to bring whatever else you like.
If you’ve bought your ticket and cannot make it then we can refund you only if we have 3+ months left to the workshop date. Within 3 months we cannot offer a refund. In this case, you can sell your spot to someone else. Please just let us know that you are doing that so we can arrange everything.
This workshop will be held in German. A few parts may be spoken in English by Shayne (as he is not a native speaking German, but Melli is there to translate)
Please use the buttons below, and follow the link to purchase the spot on our shop website. If you have any questions or problems, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at any time.
If you’re keen to be a part of this whole experience, and you’re someone with a willingness to learn – then we would love to have you at the workshop!
One of the most beautiful Bavarian castles we’ve had the pleasure to shoot at; Wasserschloss Unsleben is one that we often think about. Photographically, it is a dream – it’s got those beautiful soft, warm tones mixed with some wild foliage that add to it’s rustic charm. In fact, it’s been confused with an Italian location a few times too. It’s a perfect place to do a workshop as we have enough room to hang out together, enough places to shoot & plan Bs in case the weather doesn’t play nicely.
and we cannot wait to share everything that we know with you. No secrets. No lies. We’re an open book. We want to give you an experience that you walk away saying “Holy shit! That was friggen awesome!”. Thats our goal. Thats our mission.

You cannot fail. You can only succeed, or
