Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes — I have shot weddings in Colorado, Texas, Arizona, California, Florida, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Travel within the continental US is included in collections $5,500+. International is a flat $1,800 add-on for flights + lodging.

How much does a destination wedding photographer cost?

My destination wedding collections run $5,500–$12,000 all-in — that includes flights, hotel, ground transport, full coverage, and second photographer. Most couples save 20–30% vs. hiring a local destination photographer plus their own travel.

What destinations have you shot?

Lake Como (Italy), Cotswolds (UK), Rocky Mountain Park (Colorado), Sedona (Arizona), Big Sur (California), Hill Country (Texas), Florida Keys, and Tulum (Mexico). Full destination galleries on the destinations page.

Do you bring backup gear internationally?

Two camera bodies, four lenses, two flashes, dual SD cards per slot, surge protectors, and international power adapters. Gear is hand-carried, never checked.

How far in advance should I book a destination wedding?

9–12 months out is ideal — that locks in flights at the lowest rate and reserves the venue dates. I take 4 destination weddings per year max so dates fill up.

Do you shoot destination weddings from Minneapolis?

Yes — 8–15 destination weddings per year. Domestic collections start at $6,500 all-in; international at $10,500. All flights, gear, and 3-night stay included.

Where have you shot destination weddings?

Costa Rica, Tulum, Cabo, Italy (Tuscany, Amalfi), Colorado (Aspen, Telluride), California (Napa, Big Sur), Puerto Rico, Charleston, and Nashville. Full portfolios on request.

Do we cover your travel separately?

No — all travel is baked into the destination collection quote. One flat price, no per-diems, no post-wedding travel invoices.

Do you carry travel insurance and gear insurance internationally?

Yes — $2M liability plus international gear insurance and travel-disruption coverage. Every destination client gets a certificate of insurance for their resort/venue.

How far in advance should we book destination?

12–18 months for peak destinations (Costa Rica dry season, Italy May–October). International flights and villa lodging both need lead time. I hold destination dates with just a $500 retainer.

Do you know planners at the destination?

For repeat destinations (Costa Rica, Tulum, Italy) — yes, I have a preferred planner and vendor list I share with couples. For new destinations I vet planners with you before booking.
