DOCUMENTARY & LUXURY Destination Wedding Photography
My favorite photography service is wedding photography. Whether you plan to get married in the U.S., Europe, Caribbean, or anywhere else in the world, rest assured I will be by your side making sure every detail is thought through for the perfect photographs to be cherished forever.
Let’s talk about what goes into planning and having a destination wedding and why hiring a talented and passionate luxury destination wedding photographer should be a top priority when it comes to logistics and peace of mind.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF HAVING A DESTINATION WEDDING:
Advantages of planning a luxury destination wedding.
There are so many clear advantages (built-in vacation!) to picking the most gorgeous destination for the biggest day of your life. You will remember your wedding for years to come and you will have the photo album of dreams that will take you back again and again. Having a destination wedding is adventurous, nostalgic, romantic, luxurious and exciting. What a way to kick off your marriage!
Disadvantages of opting for a non traditional destination wedding.
On one hand, you may feel like you are asking for a lot from your loved ones and wonder “Are destination weddings selfish?” But on the other hand, by inviting less guests and being more exclusive with whom you extend the invitation to - you are displaying consideration for the people you adore by making them feel extra special.
Which option is right for you?
If you have a tough time narrowing down the list of guests and it’s important for you to have everyone present, then consider a destination wedding in your country. There are plenty of amazing places to get married at that do not require for anyone to get their passports. However, if you value and prioritize exclusivity, insanely picturesque backdrops, travel and just want a romantic wedding filled with adventure + a built-in honeymoon - go for a destination in another country.
Why hire a confident, passionate & experienced destination wedding photographer.
We just get it! We love to travel, we know how to plan, we naturally take charge, love to help with the details, and we know the best logistics for lighting, timeline, time of the year, what to bring and whom to hire first. We are so much more than a photographer.
I am a travel savvy, aesthetic, fashion forward multi passionate artist. I can’t wait to offer all my expertise and love to craft the wedding you have been dreaming about.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY investment
DESTINATION WEDDING VENUE INVESTMENT
The average cost of a destination wedding venue for a full day is around $30,000 to $42,000, with some more affordable venues ranging between $10,000 to $25,000. Popular tropical destinations such as Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic in the Caribbean tend to be less expensive. I have a ton of experience photographing at these locations.

With multi-day coverage, I capture every meaningful moment—whether it’s the intimate rehearsal dinner, a fun beach day with loved ones, or the little in-between moments that make your wedding weekend unforgettable.
Since it’s already included in my package, my couples don’t have to worry about extra costs for additional days, making it an easy and stress-free way to document the full celebration.
My all-inclusive multi-day wedding investments start at $7,000.
TRAVEL INVESTMENT

Destination Wedding Locations
I call Miami and Orlando FL home. Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic are my home away from home. I photograph weddings at these lush destinations regularly.
My personal favorite wedding destination outside the U.S. would be somewhere in the Caribbean. It feels like home to me with its golden light, lush beaches, and vibrant culture. Destinations in the Caribbean remind me of my Puerto Rican and Dominican roots. If you love sunshine, beach wedding vibes but with a luxurious feel - we are the perfect match.
Of course, Europe is the epitome of timeless romance historic charm, grand architecture, and an effortless blend of fashion and love. I am really looking forward to shooting a wedding in Italy later this year and excited to find out which which wedding destinations in Europe are on your bucket list.
Destination Weddings, USA
East Coast (think New York Skyline) gives that chic, editorial city romance, while the West Coast (California Dreams) brings dreamy cliffs, vineyards, and golden hour perfection.
Wherever you are going, that’s ultimately where I want to be.
Traveling and capturing love are my two favorite things. I will pack my suitcase for your destination wedding quick and in a hurry!

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!
