After 2,500+ weddings and fifteen years in business, we've built our reputation on consistency. Not just showing up, but delivering images that exceed expectations every single time, regardless of where in the world your celebration takes place.
Couples sometimes wonder whether to hire a local photographer at their destination. In our experience, the familiarity you build with your photographer matters more than their proximity to the venue. We arrive a day early to scout your location, learn the light, and map out portrait opportunities before the wedding day begins. You won't spend your wedding introducing yourself to a stranger.
We've followed our clients to Mexico, Dubai, the Maldives, Jamaica, the Caribbean, China, and Italy. Every destination teaches us something new, and we bring that accumulated experience to every wedding we photograph.
We've photographed destination weddings across the United States and internationally. Here are some of the locations where we've had the privilege of working.
A destination engagement session is a perfect way to combine a mini-adventure with professional portraits. We recommend combining two locations for a complete session with variety and contrast.
Granite walls, ancient waterfalls, and meadows that stretch toward the High Sierra. Yosemite Valley offers portrait backdrops that are genuinely unmatchable anywhere else in the country. We love the soft light of late afternoon in the valley and the dramatic views from Tunnel View at sunrise.
Ancient coast redwoods, filtered cathedral light, and the stillness of old growth forest just 30 minutes north of San Francisco. Muir Woods pairs beautifully with Baker Beach for a complete Bay Area session that captures two completely different moods of the Northern California landscape.

Based in Orange County, California. We travel domestically and internationally for weddings and engagement sessions. We arrive at every destination a day early to scout locations and learn the light before your wedding day.
Our destination wedding photography packages are priced identically to our regular wedding packages. The only additional costs are the actual travel and logistics expenses, which we keep as lean as possible.
Depending on your package, timeline, guest count, and program, we need you to fly out up to 3 people per team (photo and cinema). We like to depart for the destination a day in advance to scout your venue and ensure we're on time on your wedding day. For the return flight, we typically book tickets for the day after your last event, preferably at a later time.
If you'd like to use your travel miles or rewards points and book flights on our behalf, we simply ask that you send us the flight information in advance so we can approve the details, including flight times, transfers, and layovers.
Our packages are priced the same as our regular wedding packages. The only additional costs are the actual travel expenses listed above. We don't mark up travel costs or add destination surcharges beyond what we actually spend.
We ask that all accommodations be in safe, secure locations to protect the team, their equipment, and your photos and video. Airbnbs are acceptable as long as they're in safe neighborhoods with high ratings. We're happy to review accommodations before you book if you're unsure.
Hiring locally isn't necessarily easier or cheaper. Destination photographers often charge more for the novelty of the location, and coordinating with someone you've never met adds risk to an already complex day. When you work with us, you know exactly what you're getting. We've built a working relationship before the wedding day, you can visit our studio, see our albums, and meet our team in person. If you ever have a question about your images, you can simply come to us directly rather than navigating an inconvenient long-distance correspondence.
