Eighty per cent of my work is out of town and I have made destination work a very important part of my business. I have shot in some amazing destinations and had the privilege of seeing parts of the world I would not have had the opportunity to see had I not been a destination wedding photographer. Airfares are reasonable in comparison to the total budget of the wedding, and therefore the cost of flying someone in to do hair and make-up or the photography isn’t as debilitating as the idea would initially seem. When couples compare the cost of getting married in their own hometown for 150 guests, it could very well be the same expense as getting married in a beautiful Tuscan village for around 50 close friends and family, those who are close enough to the couple to go to the trouble and expense of travelling to be with them on their special occasion. At the end of the day, the feeling tends to be that a more intimate wedding in a dream location will be far more memorable and romantic.


INCLUSIVE QUOTES

When quoting for destination weddings, the clients know that you need to include travel, accommodation and a few other expenses, such as local assistants, car hire, taxi, visas, gear rental and food. You also need to find out about the costs of delivering the final product if the client lives in a different city or country to you. I firmly believe in custom-made quotes for my clients as they will know exactly what they are in for and don’t have to do any nebulous calculations themselves. It also avoids any potential for conflict where clients dispute the final expenses.
