IMAGINE

In a world where time is as valuable as the images we create, we understand the challenges you face as a photographer. Finding those truly magical photo spots, booking beautiful model couples, and building trust with high-end suppliers is not only time-consuming but also challenging.
We have spent countless hours on research and planning, determined to find the most amazing places - not just the well-known views but also hidden gems that only the most initiated know of.
We have also worked hard to build relationships with some of the best suppliers and model couples. This means that you will have the opportunity to photograph beautiful clothes and jewelry and real love couples that enhance the authenticity and feeling in your images. This combination is crucial for creating a portfolio that captures not just the eye but also the heart of the clients you long to work with and shows how you will portray their elopement.

your hosts
Alexandra is part of the duo of wilder minds workshops. Alexandra has several years of experience in wedding photography, a background in fashion design, and extensive knowledge in graphic design and marketing.
- My passion for photography and design extends far beyond the technical aspects; it is a love for the art of creation, for exploring new perspectives, and above all, for enabling others to discover and express their own creativity.
Alex
Bex is the other half of the duo behind wilder minds workshops. Bex has a background in mechanical engineering and innovation management. Her biggest fascination has always been the interface, the space between technology & human.
- That is still my biggest interest although it has changed somewhat to the interface between people. I know it sounds technical but really it’s just another way to see feelings, relationships and creativity from a technical perspective.
