Experience
Wedding & elopment workshop
Madeira Creators Experience is a photography and videography workshop for creatives in the wedding industry. A workshop where there is a focus not only on your images but also on yourself and your creativity. A trip where you definitely come back with SD cards full of new material and a head full of inspiration and a heart full of warm connections and new energy.
We don't just want to create beautiful content, we want to give you the freedom to really make the best of it. And to give you the space to really experiment. That's why we will go with an exclusive group of 8 people. This means more time and space for your vision.

Editorial
The artist’s world is limitless. It can be found anywhere far from where he lives or a few feet away.
Heres what’s going to happen
Cool experiences are largely determined by company. During the Madeira Creators Experience, you will share experiences and be able to teach each other new things about entrepreneurship, photography and fly back home with new friendships.
Relax
connect
Besides all the fun, new connections you made and that you enjoyed the island, of course you just want to be able to create cool work. You've come to boost your portfolio and try new things to show potential clients. We are going to help you get the best out of yourself and create what really makes your heart happy. With our top vendors, we will provide the most beautiful settings. So a thick portfolio upon returning home is a given.
Create
Madeira is an island that you really have to experience. So we really want to give you time to see things for yourself and experience the island and relax. We will be in Madeira for 5 days so there will be plenty of time for you to relax and really see the beauty of the island. After all, you are here to pamper yourself a little and you deserve some rest after a busy wedding season!
Behind the scenes
You are in Madeira, photographing the most beautiful settings and having an incredible time. You know better than anyone what it's like to take beautiful pictures of others and never be in the picture yourself. Because yes, you always take those. But we will record this workshop for you so that you can look back later to what this trip was like.
PORTRAIT OF YOURSELF
We not only want you to come home with great pictures for your portfolio, but also new pictures of yourself. We are going to take pictures of you that you will have as a memento of this trip. You can use them to show yourself again. So make sure you have a good outfit ;)
Meet the team
We are Sunnie (Jiwa Stories) and Christine(Christine's Moments). We are both wedding photographers from the Netherlands and have already done a lot of weddings. Both of us are two adventurous types who love: hiking, mountains and of course photography.
We met during a coaching program where we both wanted to grow our businesses and it clicked immediately. We both felt that the workshops organized in the Netherlands did not always give us what we were looking for. Tranquility, unique locations and more rugged locations. We were also looking for something that was more exclusive and felt less rushed.

To make this week perfect, we are not alone.

Our madeira experience.
In the summer of 2022, the idea was born. Madeira we want to do something with that, we open our laptops and start exploring the island. But we quickly come to the conclusion, the best way to explore the island is to go there. No sooner said than done and the tickets and airbnb were booked. The trip is planned.
In October 2022, we are planning a 6-day trip where we will drive around the island in search of the most beautiful places.
And now is the moment we have been working towards for months, to invite you and 7 other photographers on this fantastic trip!

FAQs
-
Precisely with the experienced photographer in mind, we set up this workshop, no master classes with information you already know. But rather a deeper look at yourself and your own business so that everyone gains growth from this creators experience. Looking deeper into what can make you even more distinctive.
-
The answer is Yes and No, because yes absolutely will not make exactly the same images, but because multiple photo and videographers work on the same settings you can get overlapping content. But working with small groups will minimize this. Everyone also has their own vision and materials which makes everyone's work unique.
-
Absolutely!!! Please indicate this in good time so we can take it into consideration.
-
Yes sure, however, no technical basics are explained here on how to use your camera. But it doesn't matter how advanced you are in your business. If you can shoot independently, this is for you.
-
Yes, you may pay in 1x but it is also possible to pay in 3 or 5 installments.
-
Your money back for your ticket is unfortunately not possible, but someone else to take your spot is certainly allowed. We will gladly help you with that too if it comes to that.
-
