Why we love destination weddings
There’s something undeniably magical about destination weddings. The excitement in the air, the sense of adventure, the closeness of family and friends who’ve traveled far and wide to celebrate love—it’s unlike anything else. As wedding photographers, we often get asked what it's like to shoot weddings away from home. The truth? We absolutely love it. And here’s why.
We Arrive Early—Because We Care About the Story
One of the things that sets destination weddings apart is the immersive experience they offer. We typically arrive at the destination a day or two early, not just to beat any potential travel hiccups—but to map out the story we’re about to tell.
We spend time walking the property, understanding the light throughout the day, and building a mental shot list that’s tailored to your unique setting. Whether it’s a villa on the Amalfi Coast, a mountaintop ceremony in Colorado, or a beachside resort in Tulum, each location has its own rhythm—and we want to be in tune with it long before you say “I do.”
We Craft a Walking Route for Seamless Storytelling
Destination weddings often mean large properties or unfamiliar terrain, and the last thing we want on your big day is to lose time or energy figuring out logistics. That’s why we create a custom walking route based on your wedding timeline and locations—from the getting-ready suite, to the ceremony spot, to golden hour portraits.
This route helps us stay ahead of the moments, so we’re always exactly where we need to be, capturing each part of your day with intention, calm, and care.
We’re There for the Welcome Party (And Every Moment In Between)
Unlike traditional single-day weddings, destination weddings are often multi-day celebrations. That means more time with your people—and more memories worth capturing.
We love photographing welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, casual pool hangs, sunset cruises, and anything else that makes your weekend unforgettable. These are the unscripted, in-between moments where the joy truly lives: laughter between old college friends, the emotional hug from your grandmother, or the impromptu dance-off before the formal party even begins.
We Get to Know Your People—And That Makes the Photos Better
When we spend a few days with your inner circle, we naturally blend in. Your guests get used to seeing us, chatting with us, laughing with us—and that comfort translates into real, raw, and authentic photos.
We’re not just strangers with cameras. By the time the ceremony begins, we’ve probably shared a toast with your dad or exchanged dog photos with your maid of honor. That connection allows us to document your day with the sensitivity and insight of someone who truly gets you.
It’s About More Than Just a Wedding—It’s a Shared Experience
At the heart of it all, destination weddings are about community. They’re about intentionally bringing your closest people to one place to witness your love and create lifelong memories together. As photographers, we’re honored to be invited into that experience.
We're not just capturing the event—we're living it alongside you. And that depth of presence allows us to create a gallery that feels like a true reflection of the magic you felt every second of that weekend.
In the end, we don’t just love photographing destination weddings—we live for them.
Because when love meets adventure, and photography meets connection, something extraordinary happens.
And we’re here for all of it.
