Are destination weddings worth it & other FAQ’s.

  • Are destination weddings worth it?

    Biggest Pros Built-in honeymoon: Combine your wedding and honeymoon into one trip Save money: Destination weddings can be cheaper than traditional weddings especially if you shift your focus to finding the venue of your dreams and bringing just your photography and video team.

    Cons Higher costs: Guests may have to pay for airfare, transportation, and more formal attire Unpredictable weather: Rain, heat, and wind can disrupt plans Language barriers: If you're getting married in a different language country, you may experience misunderstandings

    More planning: Destination weddings require more planning, which is why it’s great to have a chat with your traveling photographer to get a gauge on location and logistics (let’s talk about timing and lighting for the best photos!)

  • While it’s tough to plan a wedding on a tight budget, consider doing a destination elopement instead. Destinations like the Dominican Republic and Colombia have plenty of non traditional venues with all inclusive packages. Elope with just your partner and bring a specialty destination photographer so your family and friends can feel like they were there!

    "MADE US AT EASE"

    “Patricia took my fiancé and I's engagement pictures a few weeks ago and the experience could not have been any better! After expressing that we could be a bit shy in front of the camera, she made sure we felt comfortable and was truly able to capture our love. We can't wait to have her shoot our wedding next year! Thank you, Patricia!”

    "JAW DROPPING PHOTOS"

    “It's evident that Patricia knows how to work her camera, but what’s even more important, is that she knows how to connect with her client. Our whole shoot felt relaxed yet purposeful. I saw my gallery of engagement photos and jaw dropped at how many stunning images she captured. Thank you Patricia! Can't wait for the wedding day!”
