Destination wedding photographer
Marrying abroad? I’ll come to you.
Same approach, warmer light. One all-in price for anywhere in Europe with the travel already in it, a day-before arrival so nothing is left to the airline, and a plan for when the airline has other ideas.
All in for anywhere in Europe.
Flights, two nights and transfers included.

The approach
Documentary photography, taken somewhere hotter.
A destination wedding is different. The light is unfamiliar, the venue is extraordinary, and the people you love have flown hours to be in the same room. That deserves a photographer who can disappear into a space and let it happen, not one recreating poses from a portfolio. I photograph abroad exactly as I do at home: whole days as they actually happen, gentle guidance when you want it, and three short portrait sessions so you are never away from your guests for long.
How it works
Day before, wedding day, day after.
I arrive the day before.
Always. It’s a buffer against delays, a chance to walk the venue in the light I’ll be shooting in, and, if the timings work, an evening shoot or welcome drinks while everyone is fresh off the plane.
The wedding day is the wedding day.
Unlimited hours, from getting ready to the dancefloor, the same as in the UK. Sunset comes late in most of Europe in summer, so the third portrait session tends to be the best of the lot.
I fly home the day after.
If you want the morning-after brunch or a second event covered, that’s an extra day and I’ll quote it. Multi-day weddings, Asian weddings with separate events, haldi and mehndi: all photographed abroad before.
What’s included
Everything travels with the price.
Two nights, included
The night before and the wedding night. Flights, accommodation and local transfers are in the price for European destinations.
Worldwide on request
Outside Europe the coverage is exactly the same: the fee is £2,500 and travel is added at cost. Cape Verde and the USA are on the list already.
Drone, where permitted
Aerial coverage at no extra charge if the rules allow it. I check them for your location before I travel; if it’s a no, nothing is charged.
Kit travels with me
Two camera bodies, duplicate lenses, dual card slots. All of it in cabin baggage. Nothing that matters goes in the hold.
Previews next morning
100+ edited images in your inbox the morning after, wherever you are. The full gallery within 16 weeks.
Second photographer
£400 plus their travel, if you want one. Worth it for 200+ guests or two venues; not needed for most days.

If the flight is cancelled
The plan nobody asks about until they need it.
The buffer. Arriving the day before means a cancelled flight is an inconvenience, not a crisis. For anywhere more than one flight away, or in peak strike season, I arrive two days before.
The fare. I book the first departure of the day on a flexible fare, so if it goes, I’m rebooked on the next one before most passengers have found the queue. For most of Europe there’s an overland fallback too.
The backup. In the very rare case I genuinely can’t get there, the contract says what happens: a replacement photographer of a comparable standard, subject to your approval, or a full refund.
Your photographs. Cards are backed up to two drives before I leave the venue and to the cloud before I leave the country. If my bag went missing on the way home, your wedding wouldn’t.
Where I shoot
Anywhere in Europe, one price.
Beyond Europe, the same day; the travel is simply priced on top. Recently: France, Italy, Spain, Majorca and Malta in Europe, Cape Verde and the USA further out.
£500 holds the date; the balance is due 30 days before.
Ready when you are
Tell me where, and I’ll tell you how.
One price for anywhere in Europe. I reply myself, usually the same day.
