From Coastlines to Countryside: 

Capturing “I Do” Anywhere You Choose

As a destination wedding photographer, I believe the most authentic love stories unfold when couples follow their hearts to places that feel like home, even when they might be thousands of miles away.

 Destination wedding photography isn't only about beautiful backdrops (though they certainly don't hurt). It's about couples who understand that where you begin your marriage matters, that the place becomes part of your story forever. When you're somewhere that speaks to your souls, everything else fades away, leaving just what's most meaningful.

Tell Me Your Love Story

My Approach to Destination Wedding Photography

How I Document Love Stories

What sets me apart as a destination wedding photographer isn’t just my love for travel, it’s knowing that these celebrations are truly about connection. Connection to each other, to place, and to the story you’re writing together.

With a background in event planning, I approach destination weddings with both artistry and logistics in mind: coordinating with vendors, anticipating light, and making sure the day flows seamlessly. Acts of service are my love language, and that extends to being a genuine support throughout the planning process and on your wedding day.

Most of all, I believe your photos should do more than show a beautiful setting... they should capture why that place mattered, how it felt to be there, and what the adventure means for your story. That philosophy guides every destination wedding I photograph.

Inquire About Your Date

Gathering Somewhere Extraordinary

Destination weddings strip away the unnecessary, leaving only what matters—you, your partner, and the promise you’re making. Whether it’s intimate vows on a cliff or a grand celebration in a centuries-old chapel, the magic happens when couples feel free to be themselves. My photography is built on that belief: the most powerful images come when place and story become one.

Adventures Begin With Yes

Every destination wedding package includes an on-site couples session. It’s a relaxed chance to explore together, find hidden light, and ease into being in front of the camera. These sessions often feel like mini-adventures, helping us connect so that by the wedding day, it feels like we’re continuing a story already in motion.

For the Couples Who Crave Authenticity

The couples I connect with most as a destination wedding photographer know their day should reflect who they truly are. Maybe that means sunrise vows on a mountaintop instead of seating charts, or exchanging vows somewhere that takes your breath away, with just the two of you and the sound of rushing rivers or wind in the trees.

Whether it’s an elopement or a larger gathering, my focus is always the same: the small, unscripted moments, the glance when no one’s watching, the hand squeeze, the laughter that comes when you’re completely at ease.

Thoughtfully Personalized Packages

No two celebrations are the same, which is why I create custom packages built around exactly what you want, nothing more, nothing less. For some, that’s film photography and a handcrafted album; for others, bridal boudoir, a second shooter, high-quality prints, or extra hours to capture every moment. Every detail is tailored to you, so your photography experience feels as personal as the celebration itself.

The Need to Knows

What does your destination wedding photography package include?

All of my destination wedding photography packages include complete coverage of your celebration, all travel expenses, pre-trip location scouting and planning assistance, a private online gallery with high-resolution images, and 72-hour sneak peeks so you can share the magic while it's still fresh.

I also offer package add ons like a second shooter, film photography, bridal boudoir sessions, extra hours of coverage, and more. Most importantly, you get someone who genuinely cares about your story and wants to help create an unforgettable experience.

What if my destination isn't listed? 

I've never met a destination that didn't intrigue me, so if you don't see your spot listed in my travel plans, please still reach out!

From remote islands to bustling European cities, from desert ceremonies to mountain adventures - if it's meaningful to you, I want to understand why and help you create something beautiful there.

Some of my favorite destination weddings have been in places I'd never heard of before my couples introduced me to them.

Do you photograph destination elopements? 

Destination elopements are some of my favorite celebrations to capture. There's something incredibly romantic about couples who choose to start their marriage with just each other and an adventure.

Whether you're eloping to avoid family drama or because you genuinely prefer intimacy over crowds, I understand that these celebrations aren't about what you're missing - they're about what you're choosing.

Do you have second shooters for destination wedding photography? 

Second shooters are available as an add-on to any destination wedding photography package to provide additional coverage for your big day.

I work with a network of carefully vetted photographers who understand that destination weddings require adaptability and cultural sensitivity. I only collaborate with people whose work and approach align with mine, ensuring your coverage feels cohesive and authentic throughout your celebration. 

Do you offer film photography for destination weddings? 

I love offering hybrid coverage that combines the reliability of digital with the timeless beauty of wedding film photography.

Film is one of many fun add-ons I offer to customize your wedding photography package. You can learn more by clicking the button below!
