FAYE WILDE X DOLOMITES
PRESENTING: MY FIRST DESTINATION RETREAT FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS, VIDEOGRAPHERS AND HYBRID SHOOTERS
2023 was a huge year for the Faye Wilde Workshops together with teams of industry leaders, we transformed so many wonderful venues and the workshops were featured widely including The Wed, Coco Wedding Venues and La Lista.
2024 has already seen two iconic workshops: my Palm Springs
themed collaboration with Bunch studio at Wootton Hall and my first exclusively education workshop.
It speaks volumes that most workshop attendees are repeat workshoppers. It's something that I'll never take for granted and I am always working hard to bring you FRESH, inspiring and never seen before content. Inclusive spaces, real couples and elevated details (fashion... florals... curated details) are a staple.
I am beyond excited to be launching my first ever destination retreat, blending together all my loves: fashion, creating magic alongside like-minded people and rest. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the end of high season, than heading to the Dolomites…
THE VIBE
The perfect blend of rest after a mammoth season and creating content in epic locations:
We will be shooting 2 beautiful real couples wearing incredible fashion at a range of locations including mountains, lakes, and an epic infinity pool overlooking the Dolomites.
Expect small shooting groups, other worldly content and togetherness.
Places are strictly limited

TRAVEL
The hotel has several airports within a 4 hour drive. Car hire is essential not just for getting to the accommodation but the shoot locations. I will make a group chat for you to liaise on flights and other travel plans with your other attendees. I recommend grouping together - it's a lovely way to get to know each other better and also split costs.
The nearest airports to the hotel (in location order) are Bolzano, Innsbruck, Venice Treviso, Venice Marco Polo and Munich. From the UK the best flight times I've found are Stansted - Venice or Manchester Venice.

The workshops are PACKED. What I love most is Faye's ability to make complex concepts simple and accessible. Her friendly and approachable style creates an environment where everyone feels welcome, regardless of skill level.

Testimonials
GEORGIA SMITH PHOTOGRAPHY
Faye’s workshop Old Money at the Location house was nothing short of incredible. I’ve been to countless of Faye’s workshops and every single time they are next level with no detail spared. She keeps the groups small which I love because it means you’re actually getting your moneys worth (and more). I always book onto her workshops without a second thought because I can trust she’ll always deliver.
RACHAEL FRIEND
To have the opportunity to shoot with Faye and watch her direct was super inspiring! I walked away with a new found confidence in my skill set - plus some AMAZING photographs which I will use to begin to build my portfolio! Faye is very nurturing and super open which is why she makes the perfect mentor, so if you're thinking about getting into the industry, don't think... just do it!!
REBECCA KERR
She has an incredible vision so of course the dresses, styling, flowers and hair & makeup came together so beautifully giving me so much to photograph. Faye is so generous with her knowledge and spoke through her creative process before beginning which was so worthwhile. I learnt so much for listening to her direct the models and will take some of the things that I learnt from her and integrate them into my own creative process and posing flows.
