Stuck but ready to break through?

You’re passionate, but the path ahead feels unclear.

Who do you ask for advice? How do you build a portfolio that stands out, especially when you’ve been turned down for second-shooting gigs? And what about the details — how do you approach planners and clients when they seem so out of reach?

It feels like you’re spinning your wheels, but the breakthrough isn’t happening. You’re ready for more - you just need the right guidance!

We’ve been
where you are.

Navigating the uncertainty, rejections, and countless questions is part of the journey.

But just like you, we had a dream of traveling the world and capturing love stories in the most beautiful places on Earth.

The path wasn’t easy; starting in a small village in central Germany meant capturing only local weddings while facing challenges and working construction jobs to pursue those dreams.

We know what it takes because we’ve lived it.

Now, we’re sharing our roadmap to success with you — so you don’t have to struggle alone.

The Destination Wedding School was built for creatives like you: passionate photographers ready to break free from the local scene and unlock the full potential of their career.
