Day One

 

Mid Morning — Private Venue Editorials

The day begins with transport from Amaria Beach Resort to our exclusive use of a private sea view venue.

 

Expect bridal editorials, relaxed bridalwear moments and elevated flat lay styling created with modern destination weddings in mind.

 

A major focus throughout the morning is genuine one on one shooting time with the models, giving every attendee space to direct naturally, create with intention and leave with work that feels personal to their portfolio.

 

A relaxed lunch is included, offering time to slow down, connect with the group and discuss the morning’s creative work before the afternoon begins.

 

Afternoon — Ceremony Editorials

A full ceremony setup featuring floral installations, considered styling and subtle Greek touches throughout.

 

Dedicated one on one shooting time continues across the ceremony environment, allowing space for natural direction, connection and authentic moments between the models.

 

Daytime fireworks provide a dramatic close to the ceremony scene.

 

​​Afternoon — Tablescape Styling

The workshop then transitions into a fully styled reception setup centred around modern tablescape design and reception portraiture.

 

Attendees will have time to capture clean compositions, refined details and relaxed interaction throughout the setup, while continuing to build strong editorial portfolio content.

 

The overall styling draws from the softer, contemporary side of Santorini weddings without feeling overly traditional.

 

After Party Editorials

As the light softens, the workshop moves into a more relaxed after party atmosphere with a full outfit change for the models.

 

Champagne tower moments beneath golden spark fountains create the centrepiece of the evening, bringing energy, celebration and a different style of storytelling to close the day.

 

The evening finishes with relaxed after party moments as the final light fades.

Day Two — Santorini Portrait Editorials

Day Two begins with an optional relaxed breakfast gathering at Amaria Beach Resort before the group departs together for a slower paced afternoon of portrait focused shooting across the island.

 

Throughout the day, attendees will be transported between two carefully chosen Santorini locations selected for their iconic scenery and timeless backdrop opportunities.

 

With continued access to the models across both settings, the focus shifts towards modern portraiture, composition and creating natural destination wedding imagery within some of Santorini’s most recognisable locations.

Small Group Shooting

We work in small, carefully managed groups throughout the day to ensure every attendee has genuine one to one shooting time with the models.

This is not a free for all.

Each attendee is given space to direct, create, and shoot properly without fighting for angles or being rushed through scenes. We actively manage rotations throughout the day to keep the experience relaxed, fair, and creatively focused.

Real Wedding Industry Experience

We are not styled shoot organisers pretending to be wedding professionals.

We actively shoot weddings across the UK and Europe as a real hybrid team covering photography, filmmaking, and content creation together.

Everything we teach comes from real wedding experience, real timelines, real pressure, and real client expectations.

An English Approach To Shooting

Big Day Workshops are built around a calm, patient, and collaborative English approach to shooting.

We move with intention throughout the day, creating space to slow down, observe light properly, direct naturally, and create without chaos or pressure.

The atmosphere matters just as much as the content, and we believe people create stronger work when the environment feels relaxed, welcoming, and supportive.
