Photography Beyond Borders
Your location is
not the backdrop.
It is the story.
The difference
What makes a destination wedding extraordinary
A destination wedding is not simply a wedding held somewhere beautiful. It is a ceremony shaped by place: the particular warmth of that latitude, the texture of stone that has stood for centuries, the color of light at 6pm in a city you love but do not live in.
When you choose to marry somewhere that matters, you are saying something about who you are. You are choosing meaning over convenience, beauty over familiarity, and experience over tradition. That choice deserves a photographer who treats your location with the same intention you did when you chose it.
I arrive early. I scout on foot. I find the hallway that turns golden at late afternoon, the courtyard no one else is using, the rooftop where the city spreads out behind you like a painting. I build a light and movement plan for your day before your day begins.

Common questions
Everything you want to know
What makes a destination wedding different from a local one?
Everything. The light is unfamiliar, the architecture carries centuries, the landscape doesn't look like anything from your daily life. A destination wedding is not just a wedding in a beautiful place. It is a ceremony shaped by that place: the smell of the air, the color of the stone, the particular gold of the light at that latitude. When I photograph a destination wedding, I treat the location as a character, not a backdrop.
Why hire a dedicated destination wedding photographer?
Because most local photographers in destination cities are generalists. They know the spots. I know the light. I arrive early, scout on foot, find the corner of the courtyard that catches the afternoon sun at exactly the right angle, the hallway that turns golden at 6pm, the terrace that nobody else is using. A destination wedding requires someone who treats every location as if they've never photographed there before: with the eye of an explorer and the patience of a documentarian.
Do you travel internationally?
Always. I am based between Medellín and Vancouver and regularly photograph weddings in Colombia, Mexico, Canada, the UAE, Italy, Spain, and beyond. Travel is included in all destination proposals. I build every quote around the specific location and logistical context of your wedding.
How far in advance should we book?
For destination weddings, I recommend 12 to 18 months in advance. I accept a limited number of destination commissions per year. The earlier you reach out, the more time we have to plan coverage that truly honors the scale and complexity of your day.
Will you do a site visit before the wedding?
For multi-day destination weddings and particularly complex locations, a pre-wedding site visit is part of my process. For most destination weddings, I arrive at least one full day early, spend time scouting, and build a light and movement plan before your day begins.
Do you shoot film as well as digital?
Yes. I work with both 35mm film and medium format film alongside digital. Film adds something irreplaceable to destination weddings: a grain, a softness, a quality of light that feels closer to memory than documentation. Film integration is available for all destination commissions.
What is your editing style for destination weddings?
Cinematic and location-aware. I edit to honor the actual light of the place: the warmth of a Cartagena afternoon, the blue-hour cool of a Montréal winter, the particular green of Colombian jungle light. I never apply a generic preset. Every gallery is graded to the specific color world of your wedding.
How does pricing work for destination weddings?
Every destination wedding is quoted individually based on location, coverage duration, travel logistics, and scope. Wedding photography collections begin at $8,000, with most destination couples investing between $10,000 and $18,000 for full weekend coverage. Custom proposals are created after a conversation about the scale and rhythm of your wedding.
