The always beautiful Italy. Puglia is a coast town known for its amazing beauty, gorgeous light, great food and great climate. Located in the heel of Italy’s boot, Puglia is still one of the least explored regions of Italy, offering a coastline bathed by two crystal blue seas: the Adriatic and the Ionian. The perfect environment to shoot, learn and chill.

Testimonials
Some words from past attendees about the workshop.
I would absolutely recommend this to anybody at any level in their film making career. I think you can go anywhere to learn technical skills. What lenses to use, what equipment to buy, etc. But i think it's hard to put a price on changing your thought process., changing how you think about and approach weddings, and learning how to tell stories. What you learn will leave with you, and you can apply that knowledge to any future wedding you shoot. There’s the saying; “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime” and I feel like that’s what I learned, or I should say that’s what I’ve started to learn, and had my mind opened to.
– Ryan Stushnoff
I'd totally recommend attending an Osmosis workshop. Getting to meet other talented filmmakers from around the world, and establishing new friendships was awesome. Not to mention all of the information I was able to absorb from Riccardo & Remi will help me step my wedding film-making game up for sure. Just one week after the workshop I've already made some improvements in my color grading and editing flow, and have shot a wedding this past weekend with some new techniques and perspectives in my tool belt. Sign up, you won't regret it!
– Matt Garza
If you want to ever be one of the best wedding cinematographers, you need to learn from the best.
– Jürgen Holcik
This workshop will bring you to the next level of creating real beautiful storytelling wedding films full of emotions. You also gain new friends and share lots of experiences. On top you will have the best coaches you can get for that.
– Daniel Dittrich
I would recommend it to any friend who is in to wedding videography. It has changed my way of looking at filming and editing wedding films.
– Philip Heuser
You’d be surrounded by talented filmmakers that are passionate. That alone is refreshing. You’d learn from seasoned, talented, incredible, and very experienced filmmakers that truly want to help you grow. From start to finish it’s extremely well organized and stress-free. A huge piece to pull everything together is the hands on experience. You focus on filming an entire day to watch and learn as well as add stunning pieces to your portfolio. You also can walk away with an actually storyline, not just nice footage... that was so impressive and appreciated by the way!!!
The relationships you will build are priceless.
– Leann Fyvie
I love this workshop, it was a completely different experience compared to other workshops (photography) I joined in a couple of last years!
Riccardo and Remi are amazing teachers/mentors and you could felt how much effort and love these two guys put to make this an unforgettable 3 days for all us. You learn, create and share an experience + you dance! We were an awesome bunch of people!
You just not get to know their approach to wedding videography but also you get to know the approach from other participants from all different parts of the world. Where they are now and where they would love to be and how different work of each of them could be. You also learn how
to work as a team. These 3 days were just amazing and helped me to concentrate on important things and help me to get the direction I would love to go with my work. Love to go back
– Aneta Lehotska
I would say that it is a complete workshop where you can learn the best techniques of course but also how to use your heart and your personality and put it in your films.
– Giulia Selvaggini

FAQ
- Is this also for beginners?
- We recommend having some experience with weddings when attending this workshop. We will be constantly walking around to give personal advice for your skill level. But there is plenty to learn from the attendees at the workshop also.
- Is it also for photographers?
- It's good for photographers that want to start doing wedding film making. Otherwise a lot of topics are not going to be relevant
- Does this include accommodation?
- This includes accommodation. We have shared rooms at the location, private rooms are also available for an additional fee.
- Can I bring someone that doesn't attend the event?
- It's possible to bring your partner or a friend, they are not allowed to attend any of the classes. But they are fine to join us for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It would require an upgrade to a single room and an additional charge of €250 for all additional costs involved and only if there is enough availability.
- Are flights included?
- No, flights are not included and are the sole responsibility of the attendee.
- What are the best dates to fly in and out?
- Make sure to check the programme before buying your tickets.
- Is there transportation?
- You will have to arrange your own transportation to the venue.
- I have specific wishes for my food, is that an issue?
- Please specify your dietary wishes upfront so we can arrange it before hand.
- Are drinks included?
- Water, soft drinks, coffee and tea are included.
- What gear should I bring?
- From a camera point of view keep it as simple as possible, single body and 1 or two lenses. But you don't have to bring all your gear here. As for editing devices make sure to bring a laptop to do the editing on. Since edit is also part of the workshop.
- Any discounts when coming as a team?
- Unfortunately we can't give discount for team members or spouses
- How many attendees will be there?
- A maximum of 16 people per workshop
- What language will the workshop be?
- The workshop will be held completely in English and Riccardo's English
- What is the cancellation policy?
- All payments are non-refundable, but the tickets can be transferred.
- Why should I go to a workshop with few speakers compared to something with way more speakers.
- A workshop or better yet a conference with a lot of speakers don't give the depth that we are aiming for. You don't have to listen to someone's introduction every single time. We have a very clear structure on the topics we want to cover. So we are sure we can provide you with practical and inspirational input on all parts of wedding filmmaking and running a successful business.
