It's not a congress.
It's an experience.
Three days to reconnect with what made you love wedding photography.
Inspiring lectures. ShootingReal moments by the sea. Mind-opening conversations. Long laughs. Unhurried coffees. Parties as the sun sets. Great networking—the kind that creates friendships and opportunities.
A carefully planned encounterallAnd, at the best time of year in Ibiza. Through the eyes and experience of three great photographers:
Gabriel Rose Lens, David Copado y David De Loro
Real talent. Solid track records. International vision.
(All conferences will be translated into Spanish, English, and Italian)
This event is for photographers who don't just want to do their jobs better. They want to live their profession better.
Ibiza 2026 starts here.
DAVID COPADO
There are photographers who take good photos.
And then there are those who build identity.
David Copado He is one of those authors with a clear, coherent, and deeply recognizable vision. His work combines sensitivity, narrative, and a solid aesthetic that doesn't seek to impress... but to endure.
From Ciudad Real, the winner of the 2025 FdB Photographer of the Year award, with over 15 years of experience, is a photographer who combines creativity and elegance. In Ibiza, he will share not only his experience, but also his way of thinking, observing, and constructing stories that go beyond allof the moment.
GABRIEL ROSE LENS
Creativity without limits. Emotion without filters. Gabriel He's one of those photographers who don't follow formulas. They break them.
Based in Bucharest, he has been recognized as photographer of the year 2024 in Fearless PhotographersHis work stands out among the most creative authors on the world stage.
His images are bold. Powerful. Different.
He is not content with simply documenting — he seeks to reinterpret reality with a fresh, daring, and deeply emotional perspective.
In Ibiza, he'll bring that:
a free mindset, courageous creativity, and a way of understanding the wedding as an infinite space for innovation.
DLOROUGHBOR
David de Loro He is an international wedding photographer, visual storyteller, and storyteller. His vision stems from photojournalism applied to emotion: real, intense, and honest images that pursue not only aesthetics, but the truth of the moments.
With over 120 international awards and third place in the Premios FdB By 2025, his work had become established as a benchmark in documentary wedding photography.
But his creative restlessness goes further alla. He has made the leap to film as a director — premiering his short film "Path of Heartbeats" in front of hundreds of people — and develops new film projects such as "Room 7"a psychological thriller. He has also published his short story "I knew everything", exploring written narrative with the same intensity that he applies to his images.
In Ibiza, he will share not only photographic technique and vision, but also his experience building a creative career based on perseverance, emotion, and the constant need to keep creating.
