Destination weddings

Your wedding isn’t just about a location; it’s about atmosphere, connection, and meaning. I photograph celebrations that feel both deeply personal and beautifully cinematic — anywhere in the world.

This isn’t about the coordinates—it’s about the feeling.

It’s for couples who see travel as part of their story; who value meaning over tradition, and beauty in the unexpected. The ones who want their celebration to feel as vivid as the landscape that holds it.

There are no templates here—just a tailored process built around your vision. Every destination, every celebration, becomes a creative collaboration shaped by light, place, and people.

Your guests are crossing oceans to be with you; together, we’ll create a photographic experience that captures the energy, emotion, and artistry of it all. Investment is fully custom, designed to honor the way you celebrate.

getting to know you

We’ll begin with a conversation about your vision, priorities, and what excites you most about your wedding. This call gives us the chance to connect, align on your story, and start shaping a photography experience that feels effortless and personal.

Tailored Experiences, Not Packages

Forget the tiers and templates. There’s no standard bronze, silver, or gold—because no two weddings deserve the same frame. Each commission is designed to reflect your story’s tone and texture, adapting to the atmosphere, location, and energy of your day.

photography with an editorial eye

Effortless yet intentional—crafted with intuition, emotion, and an eye for the unexpected. I know when to quietly observe and when to step in with guidance, ensuring every frame feels natural yet refined.

customized photography timeline

Together, we’ll refine your wedding timeline to ensure the day flows naturally while leaving space for beautiful light, portraits, and meaningful moments. This helps create a balance between structure and spontaneity.

thoughtful, complete documentation

On the wedding day (or wedding weekend), I’ll capture everything—from quiet anticipation and editorial portraits to lively, candid moments on the dance floor. My relaxed editorial approach lets you stay fully present while I tell your story.

the unveiling of your story

A bespoke selection of previews will be delivered within a week and not long after that, your full gallery is revealed in a cinematic slideshow. During this experience, you’ll have the chance to design albums and wall art with our consultant, turning your memories into tangible works of art.

your memories, made tangible

Your digital gallery is available for 24 months, but the true magic is in your prints. Each piece is custom-designed and crafted with care, ensuring your memories live beautifully beyond the digital gallery.

custom heirlooms

My design team will reach out to you for a complimentary design session to pre-visualize albums and statement wall pieces (sizes, frames, placement). We’ll align on what you want to live with in your home so I can shoot intentionally for those heirloom-worthy images.

How do you handle unexpected situations, like illness or emergencies, that could prevent you from attending?

In the rare case of illness or an emergency, I have a network of professional destination wedding photographers I trust who can step in to capture your day. I also maintain clear and detailed notes about your wedding plans and vision to ensure the substitute photographer delivers a high-quality experience in line with your expectations.

06

In the event of a cancellation or rescheduling, your retainer fee is non-refundable as it secures your date. However, I do my best to accommodate rescheduled dates based on my availability. If travel arrangements have already been booked, additional fees for changes may apply. I highly recommend investing in wedding insurance to cover unforeseen changes.


What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

05

I always plan to arrive at least one or two days before your wedding to allow time for any unexpected travel delays. This buffer ensures that I am present and ready to document your big day without stress. If, for any reason, unforeseen circumstances occur, I have a network of professional photographers I can call on for assistance.

What happens if there are travel delays or issues with your arrival?

04

I always arrive to a destination early and research your venue and surrounding areas ahead of time using online tools, maps, and past experiences. Upon arrival, I dedicate time to visiting the venue and nearby photo spots to assess lighting, angles, and the best backdrops to create stunning imagery.

How do you scout photography locations at my wedding destination?

03

Yes, you won't be paying anything additional! For destination weddings, travel fees (such as airfare, lodging, and ground transportation) are quoted upfront and added to your wedding package. This ensures transparency, and we can customize the package to suit your unique wedding needs.

Are travel fees included in your pricing?

02

I handle all my own travel arrangements, including flights, accommodations, and transportation, so you don’t have to worry about coordinating those details. Once your destination is confirmed, I’ll ensure I arrive at least one or two days before your wedding to scout locations and get acclimated to the area.


How do you handle travel logistics for destination weddings?

01

FAQs

Yes, I always travel with multiple cameras, lenses, lighting equipment, and backups. This ensures I’m fully prepared for any technical issues, so nothing gets in the way of capturing your day.

Do you bring backup equipment?

07

Can you capture moments beyond the wedding day?

Absolutely, and most clients hire me for multiple days for destination wedding coverage! I can document pre-wedding events (like welcome dinners or cultural ceremonies) and post-wedding sessions (such as "day after" photos or an adventure session). These additional sessions often showcase the destination and give you even more memories to cherish.

08

For weddings with more than 60 guests, I always bring a second photographer to ensure we capture every moment, from intimate details to the big group celebrations. If you’re looking for both photo and video coverage, I’ll have a dedicated videographer on the team as well. This allows us to work seamlessly together, creating a cohesive gallery and film that beautifully tell the story of your day.

Do you work by yourself or with a team?

09

How many hours of coverage do you recommend for a destination wedding?

For destination weddings, I recommend 10 hours of coverage to document all the key moments, from getting ready to the reception. Many couples also opt for additional coverage, such as pre-wedding events, post-wedding portrait sessions, or a storytelling session.
