The All-Inclusive Wedding Workshop
Welcome!
First of all, we want to thank you for your interest in this workshop. We’ve been planning this for a long time and we’ve poured all of our love into it so that you can make the most of your experience. In the end, the main goal is to leave the workshop not only as colleagues, but as family.
We know how much effort you’re putting in and appreciate the investment you are making to join us, which is why we’ll pour every ounce of our blood, sweat and tears into these three days.
So, let’s enjoy, have fun, make new friends and, of course, take some spectacular photos. Oh, and don’t forget about the lucha libre!

Let’s Talk Money
How do I reserve my spot?
You can reserve your spot with an initial payment of $5,000 pesos (around $250 USD). The remaining balance of $13,000 pesos (around $650 USD) will be paid two weeks before the workshop. This is non-refundable.
What’s included?
Breakfast and lunch for all three days. We will have catering service as well as coffee, snacks and beer.
Lodging in the Airbnb that we’ve rented to serve as the workshop venue (not required).
Admission to the Arena Coliseo de Guadalajara for lucha libre!
Total access to the instructors for all three days and plenty of hang-out time with the other students.
How do I pay?
In Mexico: Banamex
In the USA: Wells Fargo, Zelle
What Should I Bring to the Workshop?
Laptop with Lightroom and Photoshop. If you don’t have these programs, ask me to include you in the special group discount.
Camera and lenses, flash, radio transmitter and modifiers.
Comfortable clothing since we’ll be walking around a lot and, like good photographers, climbing and shimmying into the most ridiculous places we can find!
FAQ:
Q: “If for some reason I have to cancel, can I get my money back?”
A: Unfortunately, not. This money is tied up in the costs of running the workshop, such as flights for the instructors, workshop venue, catering, logistics, etc. But… you’re more than welcome to sell your sport to another photographer if you’re unable to attend for any reason.
Q: “Do I have to stay at the workshop headquarters?”
A: No, you’re free to stay wherever you like. That said, the cost for the workshop remains the same regardless of where you stay and we kindly request you arrive on-time each day of the workshop.
Q: “There will be two of us attending (business partners, spouses, etc.) Can we get a discount?
A: This is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but yes… we totally understand the dynamics of working as a pair.
