let's chat 

I am a destination wedding photographer based in Kent, UK. So far, I have been fortunate enough to photograph weddings in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Luxembourg and Italy.

Congratulations on your engagement, and it is so exciting to hear you are getting married abroad! Getting married abroad might be a scary thought, but I can assure you it will be a decision you won't regret. You're combining the best day of your lives with a vacation; it doesn't get much better than that!

Couples who book me to document their destination weddings want me to capture genuine and authentic moments with minimal posing or interference. I love photographing people as they truly are, enjoying themselves and having fun at their wedding abroad! If you love documentary-style photography and want your destination wedding beautifully captured, take a look at my destination wedding portfolio below.

12 of my favourite destination wedding photos

Featured Destination Weddings

Here are a handful of my favourite destination weddings from the last couple of years in various locations. These featured weddings contain almost a full collection of photos from a wedding day, and hopefully they give you an idea of what to expect from me as a wedding photographer. If you want to see more weddings, then visit my blog. 

I photograph weddings in a documentary style, which means I specialise in capturing natural images from the best day of your lives. My approach to wedding photography is relaxed and fun, meaning you have more time to enjoy your wedding day without having to worry about a long photoshoot. I keep things unobtrusive, natural and hassle-free. I really take the time to get to know you both as a couple, so hopefully you see me more like a guest with a camera.

Popular destinations for UK couples getting married abroad

Italy

Greece

Spain

Norway

France

Ireland

When someone mentions Greece, I think of bright white buildings, rugged coastlines with hundreds of islands, crystal blue waters, and of course, gyros! Islands such as Santorini, Rhodes, and Kefalonia are all popular destination wedding locations.

Greece

Italy offers incredible diversity when it comes to weddings. You can get married in the rolling hills of Tuscany, along the sunny Amalfi Coast, elope with picturesque views of the Dolomites, or celebrate in the historic and bustling cities of Rome. You are spoiled for choice, which is one of the reasons why Italy is one of my favourite countries to visit. Popular wedding locations include Lake Garda and Lake Como.

Italy

France is another popular country for UK couples. You can get married in the "Capital of Love," Paris, or venture into the countryside. The south of France is a beautiful region with vast and stunning landscapes. You can also consider a rugged mountain wedding in the Alps in ski towns such as Chamonix, Courchevel, Megève, and Annecy. I spent much of my childhood visiting the Alps in winter for family ski holidays, making it a place I hold close to my heart.

France

Ireland isn’t known for its warm climate, but it is a country I would love to visit, and it is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. Otherwise known as the Emerald Isle, it is an amazing place for hiking, exploring castles, and admiring its jagged coastline. You can’t forget that it’s also home to a tasty pint of Guinness!

Ireland

I have been fortunate to capture several weddings in Spain—one in the beautiful city of Valencia and another in a stunning villa tucked away in the Andalusian mountains. I love Spain for its vibrant culture and delicious cuisine, such as paella, patatas bravas, and croquettes! I am travelling to Ibiza later this year for a wedding, which I am very excited about. I would love to capture weddings in Seville, Barcelona, and Majorca.

Spain

Often described as one of the most scenic and happiest countries in the world, Norway has so much charm, from its famous fjords and Viking history to its quaint fishing villages. I would love to visit this Scandinavian nation and photograph a wedding there.


Norway

It might sound a bit cliché, but it's true! There is nothing better or more exciting than hopping on a plane, boat, car, or train to a new destination—exploring new cultures, trying new foods, and seeing interesting sights. Although I don't remember it, I have been on and off planes since I was just six months old. I used to spend two to three months of the year visiting my grandparents in the Middle East (Dubai and Saudi Arabia).

My mum also has a passion for exploring, and we would often go on a couple of family holidays each year to exciting destinations like France, Egypt, South Africa, the USA, and Turkey. Since then, my partner Sydney and I have made it a goal to visit at least one new country every year. We even backpacked around Southeast Asia for four months, visiting some truly exotic and amazing countries such as Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. My camera goes everywhere with me, allowing me to document everything I see. Whether I'm using my long telephoto lens to capture close-up portraits of exotic wildlife or my wide-angle lens to frame breathtaking landscapes, I love bringing all my gear to preserve the memories of my adventures.

Travelling is ingrained in me, and I have the bug! I hope to continue exploring the world while photographing weddings across the globe.

frequently Asked Questions

Hiring a wedding photographer to travel overseas

Do I need a wedding photographer from the UK?

Whilst you can book a local photographer in the country you're getting married in, sometimes this may cause some hiccups later down the line, such as language barriers, a clash in photography styles, and less of a personal connection. The advantage of booking a documentary wedding photographer from the UK is that you have the opportunity to communicate multiple times before the big day, so you know exactly what to expect and can build a great connection with your photographer. For these reasons, you might want to consider booking a UK destination wedding photographer.

What do you charge for a destination wedding?

For weddings in Europe, I charge my standard full-day wedding package plus an additional £500 to cover all my travel and accommodation expenses. For countries outside Europe, I may have to charge more for travel expenses due to the higher costs involved. I can give you more specific information once I have more details about your wedding.

How far are you willing to travel to photograph our wedding?

Wherever you are planning to have your wedding abroad, I would love to join you. So far, I have photographed weddings in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal, but I am looking to visit new places. If you are looking for a documentary-style destination wedding photographer, then I would love to hear from you.

Do you just photograph the wedding day?

When photographing a destination wedding, I love to arrive a few days earlier and leave a day or two after the wedding. This gives me plenty of time to capture any pre- or post-wedding celebrations and tell the full story of your destination wedding abroad. 



How do we book you as our wedding photographer?

First of all, if you like what you see, then enquire as soon as possible! Hopefully, if I am available, I will respond with an email asking to have a chat over Zoom or in person. This is a great way for us to get to know each other and also make sure I am the right fit for your destination wedding. Once I have confirmation that you would like me to be your photographer, I will send over an email containing the booking process, which includes a 25% deposit and a booking form. The remaining balance is due one month before the wedding. 

Are you insured to photograph weddings abroad? 

Yes! I have insurance which covers me internationally. I can provide you with any documentation you need before the wedding. It's good to know you are in safe hands before getting on the plane!

Travelling to a wedding in another country?

I always book my flights and travel for destination weddings in advance (unless I get a last-minute booking). I am happy to arrange all my own transport and accommodation unless you, as a couple, have some other ideas. I sometimes stay in large villas with my couples so I am on site for the whole weekend and can capture the full story. Don't worry, I make sure my passport is always up to date, and I always check entry requirements such as visas!

Destination Wishlist

So far, I have photographed weddings in Europe; however, I have a destination wedding wish list:

My journey into the world of photography started when I was 15 years old whilst I was abroad. My mum handed me the camera during a family sailing holiday in Greece and asked me to take a few shots of the scenery. As I put my eye to the viewfinder and composed the frame, a dolphin suddenly jumped out of the water into view. I quickly pressed the shutter release button and captured a very blurry image of the dolphin. Although it wasn’t the best photograph, that moment sparked my interest in photography.

When I got home, I started snapping away, no matter the subject. I would walk down to my local beach, Botany Bay, with my wide-angle lens and tripod to practice landscape photography, or I would spend the day at the zoo, trying to photograph the animals with my telephoto lens through the mesh cages.

I later integrated photography into my A-level Art projects and taught myself the basics, even experimenting in a darkroom to develop beautiful monochrome images. I spent hours researching different camera settings and how each one impacts the aesthetics and feeling of a photograph. I experimented with ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, as well as composition techniques such as leading lines, the rule of thirds, and the use of foreground and background. I also learned how to compose, expose, and edit my images in Adobe Lightroom to create beautiful finished photographs.

Looking at the images on my website, I like to think my craft has improved significantly since I first started. I began photographing weddings in Kent four years ago, and I am now starting to travel abroad more and more for work! I quickly learned that there is so much more to capture at a wedding than just the traditional family group shots. From the emotions of your bridesmaids and Dad during the bridal reveal, to guests enjoying cocktail hour, to elegant couple portraits during golden hour and that big, bellowing laugh from Uncle Bob during the best man's speech, weddings are full of fun, natural moments. The pure joy and excitement on people's faces make them a playground for a wedding photographer!
