Destination Weddings & Elopements

Photos that are effortless but considered.

I love to travel and it is a good job too as I am an Destination Wedding Photographer. I adore capturing weddings across the UK, Europe and further afield. Making sure you choose a photographer that is confident in how a day runs but with that added challenge of a new country or location is a must. With my knowledge of light and environments key in achieving the work that you see in my portfolio.

With each new location comes extensive research. Even if I have been to the area before- as each wedding day is captured differently and unique to each couple. Having captured weddings abroad since starting weddings in 2009, I have experienced each eventuality a wedding day abroad might throw at me.

Destination Wedding Photography FAQ

The simple answer is no. My packages do not change if you marry in the UK or internationally. You pick the package or we design one for you. Flights and accommodation. Simple. I adore photographing weddings across the world and I am as excited as you to do it in an amazing place. So why make it complicated!

Yes! I love it when couples add extra days to their wedding. Such as a welcome dinner, farewell pool party. Pre wedding couple session in another amazing location. Or a boat ride on Lake Como. Whatever your plans my coverage starts at £500 for a minimum of 2 hours and goes upwards from there.

Yes, a UK Wedding venue and Destination Wedding venue are one and the same. I do the same amount of research for the venue beforehand like I do every wedding. Such as checking the sun position at key times of the day. Looking at best couple photo locations and logistics. The BEST thing about a Destination Wedding is the light. And I am a master of light- from soft flare, to dark and moody. I have you covered.

I carry out video calls with all my couples where we go through the full schedule of the day and logistics. As well as photos you would love to capture. We talk about everything i need to know such as your favourite people and any family dynamics I need. If we are doing any pre wedding event coverage I will also get to meet you before the wedding day.

When I photographing a Destination Wedding, I either fly in a few days before or at the very latest the morning before. Giving me plenty of scope to see the area as well as settle into my hotel. Once we know your schedule we get all flights booked. This gives me the flexibility to document any pre and post wedding events, pool parties, or brunches you decide to hold.

I have over 10 of experience in photographing destination weddings so can give you advice you on all aspects of the wedding day. If you are stuck on where to have you ceremony at a specific time of day due to light I can help advise. Or how the weather and setting will be affected at different times of the year. I have travelled across the world and am experienced in so many different settings.

Finding a Wedding Photographer who’s work you resonate with is key. If you are looking for an Editorial Wedding Photographer with a documentary blend then it is often best to take them with you! My past Destination Wedding couples have often said that they struggled to find the style they wanted locally. And having someone who was based in the UK and fully understood their vision was key.

I have travelled all over the world to photography weddings for my couples. I have done many countries in Europe such as Italy , France, Germany, Spain and Croatia. As well as having been lucky enough to capture amazing weddings as far afield as Kenya, Seychelles and America. No matter where your wedding, I would be honoured to tag along and capture it with you.

Yes! You can add 35mm film photography to any of your Destination Wedding packages.
