Destination Wedding Frequently Asked Questions

With more than 15 years of experience and hundreds of weddings behind me, I’ve been fortunate to capture love stories of every kind—from intimate backyard celebrations to breathtaking destination weddings. As an award-winning, published photographer and a former director of a wedding venue, I understand both the beauty and the behind-the-scenes details that make a wedding day truly special. Having been a recent elopement bride in a stunning European territory, I know firsthand how essential it is to have your love story captured with care and artistry. No matter how many “I dos” I’ve witnessed, I still get butterflies each time the ceremony begins—that’s how I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

Absolutely! Traveling is one of my favorite parts of this job. Whether it’s a mountainside ceremony in California, beach elopement in Bermuda, or an adventure in Italy, I’m thrilled to come along! I offer all-inclusive Destination and Elopement packages for one price - no additional travel fees! All of my destination packages include multi-day shoots as well.

Yes. We have specifically structured our commissions to be highly competitive for weddings in Italy and throughout Scotland and Ireland. Because these are regions we prioritize in our annual calendar, we offer bespoke, travel-inclusive packages. We aim to bring a sophisticated, fine-art perspective to these iconic locales while providing an effortless experience for our couples.

You are hiring a veteran professional who is unshakeable in any environment. Fifteen years in the industry has taught me how to pivot—whether navigating the unique island light of Bermuda or the atmospheric landscapes of Europe. My focus is always on delivering heirloom-quality imagery and a polished, professional presence, ensuring your experience is as refined as the final photographs.

With over 15 years of professional tenure, my process is designed to be entirely seamless. Having worked in locations ranging from the sophisticated coastlines of Bermuda to the historic estates of New England, I am well-versed in the nuances of destination logistics. I manage all my own travel arrangements and conduct thorough location scouting to map the light and identify the most evocative backdrops, ensuring your gallery feels intentional and curated.

Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime legacy, and you deserve a photographer who is as invested in your story as you are. While resort photographers are often talented, there are three major reasons why my couples choose an independent, specialized experience:

• Consistency & Connection: When you hire me, you know exactly who is showing up on your wedding day. You aren’t assigned a random photographer from a revolving staff list. We build a relationship months in advance, ensuring you feel relaxed and natural in front of my lens—which is the secret to those "true-to-life" moments.

• A Timeless Aesthetic: Resorts often prioritize volume and fast turnarounds, which can lead to "templated" editing. My approach is bespoke. I spend hours meticulously hand-editing every frame to ensure the colors are accurate, the light is romantic, and the final gallery is a cohesive work of art that won't look "dated" in ten years.

• Advocacy & Planning: A local resort photographer often works for the hotel; I work for you. I assist with your timeline, scout the best light away from the "tourist spots," and act as a dedicated guide to ensure your photography experience is seamless and stress-free. You aren't just a room number to me; you are a legacy I am honored to document.

100%! Most couples tell me they’re awkward in photos—but by the end, they’re laughing, snuggling, and having a blast. My approach is very natural and guided, not stiff or posed. I’ll help you every step of the way so your photos look and feel effortless.

.

Absolutely. Many of our couples value the ability to connect with their photographer locally before departing for their destination. Establishing that relationship early ensures a level of trust and comfort that is beautifully reflected in the natural, effortless feel of your wedding portraits.

Of course! Your gallery includes high-resolution downloads and a print release. You can also order professional-quality prints, albums, and wall art directly through your gallery for convenience and heirloom-level quality.

My work blends beautiful lighting, emotion, and storytelling. I love candid, joyful, and romantic images that capture real connection—not just poses. My goal is to create photos that feel timeless and authentic, not trendy.
