An international photography conference
April 1 - 2, 2025 - Belgium
BY FEARLESS PHOTOGRAPHERS & MASTERS OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Get inspired
We’ve selected amazing speakers from around the world to bring you nothing but the best.
MEET FRIENDS
Make new and meet old photography friends in real life from all over the world.
Take a break
Take a break and get geared up for the new wedding season
The Fearless Masters conference is about so much more than hearing and learning from the speakers. It’s the shared experience of being at such an amazing event with the world’s best wedding photographers. Chatting over dinner, going out for drinks with them. Just hanging out with them. I can call many of them friends. Even though we see some of them only once a year, there is an unbreakable bond between us all. We don’t stand around talking about photography techniques, we just enjoy sharing life together when we meet.
I was a little hesitant to go to a conference where I wouldn't know anyone, all by myself. But everyone was so welcoming and kind, I had a really great time. On top of that, the talks were really interesting and inspiring, with great variety! You can probably imagine I don't want to miss any of those awesome conferences anymore!

Location
Theatre Elckerlyc, Antwerp, Belgium
“Antwerp is Europe’s effortlessly cool design destination. Buzzing with entrepreneurial energy, Antwerp’s creative culture is cooler than ever. It’s one of the best places to go in Europe for 2024 and easily Belgium’s most underrated city. In fact, the diamond capital of the world is somewhat of an undiscovered gem, with plenty of cool and culture” – CN Traveller
We recommend coming to Antwerp at least one full day before the conference, so you can explore the city and be in time for the Meetup on the the 31st of March, where you can meet and greet all other FMC attendees.
It’s also a good idea to stay one more night, so you can enjoy the closing party on April 2nd, have another full day in Antwerp with your friends and look back at all the experiences you’ve had together.
