“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” – Seneca

My client base is all over the world, and I love that! Most of my work is destination, which we classify as any event that requires a hotel stay. Some clients want their photographer to have worked at their venue before, but I am just the opposite. I am inspired by new places and my creative energy is highest when working in environments I have not photographed over and over again.

It is important to choose a photographer that is an experienced traveler, especially for international weddings. I have years of experience with packing my camera equipment appropriately for smooth travel on various airline carriers; and packing with “gear priority” so that even if my luggage doesn’t make it to the destination, I still have what I need with me to photograph your destination wedding. I make sure to leave enough time for emergencies, travel delays, scouting, prepping, and an around-town couple’s shoot, in addition to the wedding day.

Even more reasons to look beyond the local photographer options for your event:

• In some locations, the choices for photography are limited. You cannot un-do bad photography of your wedding day, so why take the risk.
• Traveling puts me at the top of my game. It gets me away from the office and other daily distractions of running the business. When I arrive at a new location, my attention is 100 percent focused on you and prepping for the event ahead of us. New landscapes, different climates, unique venues… they excite me!
• Since 99% of our clients don’t live in our city, we are comfortable working with out of town brides. Contracts and payment options, as well as the image gallery and album design proofs are all completed online.
• Many popular destination venues offer a package including a photographer for your event …there is a big risk of ending up with an uninspired photographer who shoots the same venue every weekend and has no personal relationship with you. A lackluster experience on wedding day and little follow through afterwards is often the disappointing result.
• For international weddings it is difficult to connect to, plan a timeline with, and especially design an album with a photographer based in an unfamiliar country. We are dedicated to helping you achieve the look you want and are happily involved in the process before AND after the wedding.

A few of my favorite places we have worked before are listed below; we are always happy to return to old favorites. If you don’t see your dream wedding or engagement shoot location on the list, that’s great too – I would love to hear more about your day! New places inspire me!
