The photographer will give you a custom USB Key with all the photographs in high resolution. This model enables you to reprint your photographs when you want, where you want and as much as you want. Also, unlike many photographers who cap the amount of pictures you get back, we don't. You will receive the full total amount of taken photos with any of the packages below.

Destination travel

A few simple things to know
before we pack our bags.

  • Round-trip economy airfare to the destination: one checked bag per person
  • Accommodation for the duration of our stay: mid-range hotel or Airbnb, safe and close to the venue
  • 2 nights minimum for domestic or nearby destinations
  • 3–4 nights for international weddings: we arrive 1–2 days early to scout and settle, and depart the day after your event
  • All local transportation, gas, tolls, and parking at the destination
  • Drone and aerial permits wherever they're required
  • Any additional nights beyond the agreed stay: that's on us, not you
  • Meals and incidentals throughout the trip

We don't show up the morning of your wedding seeing your venue for the first time. We arrive early, scout the location, and make sure we know exactly where the light falls and where the moments happen.

For a Saturday wedding our typical schedule looks like this:

Day What happens
Thursday We arrive, check in, scout the venue
Friday Final prep, timeline review, meet the couple if possible
Saturday Your wedding day: we're fully present
Sunday Departure, unless a post-wedding session is planned

For North American destinations, travel costs are calculated per booking based on location, dates, and team size. We provide a full transparent travel quote with no hidden fees.

All travel is coordinated directly with you. We align our flights and accommodation with your timeline so there's never a scheduling conflict. We don't add hidden costs; if we choose to extend our stay beyond the coverage window, that's entirely at our own expense.

We've traveled for weddings more times than we can count. We know how to show up ready: wherever you are.
