How it works
Booking a destination wedding, step by step
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
