Destination Wedding Logistics Guide

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
