Destination Weddings & Elopements

I love to travel and it is a good job too as I am an International Destination Wedding Photographer. I adore capturing weddings across the UK, Europe and further afield. Having done so man amazing locations! I cover destination weddings for couples who really want that special touch for their wedding abroad where the magic comes alive even more in an amazing location.

The light, vibe and magic that can be created on a destination wedding is like no other. Often this day might span the wedding day only, or multi day events.

To have had so many couples trust me with their most precious day and take me abroad is always a pleasure. And something I take very seriously.

Capturing your destination wedding in the most magical places

“i would love to hear more about your Destination Wedding ideas. “

Deciding on a Destination Wedding Photographer is so important. Someone who understands how light works different overseas. How heat can affect the day, or even the cold! How you need to travel with equipment and work with varying other suppliers for your day. I understand all of the little factors that go into a wedding day overseas. Having worked in some beautiful countries. I am a calm presence that helps your day run smoothly- knowing when to guide and when to step back and allow space. I have vast experience of understanding settings, light, weather and different cultures.

THE DETAILS

THE INVESTMENT

I wanted to make working with me super easy. All of my UK packages apply abroad. Or we can create a bespoke package together if you day is a little different. Flying by helicopter? Only the two of you? 3 day multi event? Whatever your decision I am there to cover it. My process is simple. Package, flights, hotels. And then we can discuss anything else in between. I work with my couples to be able to make Destination Weddings as cost effective as possible, with no hidden costs or over the top fees.

I do not bolt on large fees as standard but work with the couples to find cost effective flights and hotels for normally 2 nights stay in Europe or maybe more if the location is International. I don’t have any hidden extras. So Destination Wedding Photography is much more cost effective than you think. The four packages below show the base options before travel and accommodation and I am also happy to tailor design a package for you. Such as Elopements in the Dolomites, Rome or beyond. As well as smaller weddings. Taking your wedding photographer abroad never seemed easier.

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. And if the weather conditions and location is suitable I can aim for some scene setting or hero ariel images of the two of you. Such as an overhead view over the Lago di Braies. Just talk to me about it befrehand when we discuss your plans.

Emma was nothing short of fantastic for our wedding. So organised and easy to communicate with throughout. Lots of experience and advice to help us, and importantly, so so lovely, who put us and our guests at ease. Stunning photos and cannot recommend Emma enough. Thank you Emma – so glad we found you!

“Words can’t describe how amazing Emma was on our wedding day (and for the whole lead up). We are ecstatic with all our amazing pictures to capture our special day. She knew what we wanted better than we did and was so friendly, professional, creative and a true expert at what she does.

We’ve had so many amazing comments about both the photos and how amazing Emma was herself as a person and we’ll be forever grateful that we have the perfect memories captured thanks to her! If you’re reading these to decide whether to contact her, there’s no hesitation needed. It’s the best decision you’ll make for our big day. Thank you so so much Emma!”

“I’m OBSESSED. I hired Emma for my engagement photos and I loved her so much that I hired her as a traveling photographer to capture my wedding day in Colorado, USA. I appreciated that she gave guidance on the wedding photo schedule and number of photo groups/size. She also helped keep us on schedule and was able to adapt as needed. She helped provide lots of guidance with posing which we needed as well. I couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out and everyone at our wedding loved working with her too! I’m currently looking for excuses to hire her again.”
