How it works

Booking a destination wedding, step by step

  1. 01

    Reach out with your date

    Tell me the date, destination, and rough plan. I'll check availability within 24 hours and send you a transparent cost breakdown including travel.

  2. 02

    Video call & planning

    We meet over video to talk through your day. I learn about you, your guests, and what matters most. I can also recommend planners or venues if you're still deciding.

  3. 03

    Your wedding day

    I arrive the day before for venue scouting and a relaxed hello. On the day I work quietly in the background. No posing, no staging — just real moments captured as they happen.

  4. 04

    Your gallery & film

    Within 6–8 weeks you receive your full gallery in high resolution. Film deliveries follow within 10–12 weeks. Optional wooden USB box and print-ready files on request.

FAQ

Destination wedding questions

Where are you based and how far do you travel?

+

I'm based in Leipzig, Germany — centrally located for weddings across Europe. Germany-wide travel is included in every package. For European destinations, only travel costs are added. Worldwide travel is available on request.

Do you speak English?

+

Yes, fluently. I work regularly with English-speaking couples and international wedding guests. All communication, planning documents, and galleries are available in English.

What does a destination wedding cost?

+

Destination wedding photography starts from €2,800 for full-day coverage, plus travel costs (flights, accommodation, local transport). Most couples budget between €3,500 and €6,000 total. Photo + film packages are available on request.

What style do you shoot?

+

Documentary and candid. No posed portraits, no stiff group photos. I capture real moments as they unfold — the laughter, the tears, the quiet glances. My images feel like your day actually did.

How far in advance should we book?

+

For peak season destination weddings (May–September), 9–12 months in advance is ideal. For off-season or mid-week elopements, 3–6 months is usually enough. Send me your date early to secure availability.

Do you offer film as well as photo?

+

Yes. I offer photo and film from one source, which is rare for destination weddings. You only need to brief one person, and the visual language stays consistent. Film packages start at €1,800 in addition to photography.

What happens if weather ruins the outdoor plans?

+

I scout backup options in advance and adapt on the day. Documentary photography actually thrives in unexpected conditions — rain, wind, or golden hour after a storm often produce the most memorable images of the wedding.

Can you recommend venues or planners at the destination?

+

I've built a small network of trusted planners and venues across Europe. If you're still deciding on a location, I can share recommendations based on your style and guest count — no commission, just honest suggestions.
