Editorial wedding photography for your destination wedding
“TL;DR: An editorial approach to destination weddings combines natural moments with high-fashion style, creating images that are beautiful, timeless, and full of personality.”
WHAT MAKES A WEDDING ‘EDITORIAL’?
Editorial wedding photography borrows from the world of fashion magazines: clean composition, thoughtful styling, and an attention to detail that elevates the everyday. But it’s not about staging or perfection.
My approach is about applying that same eye for detail to real life. The laughter during speeches. The way the light falls as you step into a courtyard. The emotion of moments you didn’t even realise were happening.
When people describe wedding images as editorial, they usually mean photographs that look polished enough to appear in print, yet still feel authentic. That’s exactly the balance I aim for: genuine moments, framed with a refined sense of style.
WHY IT WORKS SO WELL IN EUROPE
Europe is the ultimate backdrop for stylish destination wedding photography. Its landscapes, architecture, and natural light bring an atmosphere that feels cinematic and romantic.
Italy - from Tuscan villas and beautiful masserias in Puglia to the Amalfi Coast and Lake Como
France - Parisian elegance, Provençal charm, and the grandeur of Loire Valley châteaux
Spain - vibrant Barcelona, Andalusian courtyards, and rustic island fincas in Mallorca or Ibiza
Greece - iconic blue domes, whitewashed villages, and sunsets over the Aegean
Croatia - medieval towns, Adriatic coastlines, and historic venues full of character
These settings lend themselves perfectly to photography that feels both natural and refined.
BLENDING DOCUMENTARY WITH EDITORIAL
My work combines documentary photography with a fashion-inspired edge. I don’t direct or interfere, but I do pay close attention to light, composition, and atmosphere.
That might mean suggesting a small shift into softer light or framing a candid moment against an architectural backdrop. These subtle adjustments make the difference between a snapshot and an image that feels truly striking.
The result is a gallery that tells the story of your day as it happened, while also giving you images that wouldn’t feel out of place in a magazine spread.
THE EXPERIENCE OF A DESTINATION WEDDING
A destination wedding is rarely just the wedding day itself. Often there are welcome drinks the night before, a rehearsal dinner, or a relaxed brunch the day after the wedding. These moments have their own atmosphere: the excitement of everyone arriving, the chance for guests to properly connect, and the calm after the big celebration.
If you have events planned either side of your wedding, I can be there to capture them too. From pre-wedding cocktails to post-wedding boat trips, these gatherings add so much depth to your story and deserve to be photographed.
By including these extra celebrations, your gallery becomes a true reflection of the whole experience, not just the ceremony and party but also the build-up, the energy, and the afterglow.
