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 photography borrows from the world of fashion magazines - thoughtful composition, considered styling, and an eye for detail - but in my case, applied to real moments. It’s about creating images that feel as though they could live in print, while staying true to the atmosphere of your day.

WHY IT WORKS SO WELL IN EUROPE

European architecture, landscapes, and light are an editorial dream. Whether it’s the golden glow of a Tuscan evening, an imposing French chateau, or the minimal elegance of a Scandinavian city hall, these backdrops lend themselves perfectly to a refined yet natural style.

BLENDING DOCUMENTARY WITH EDITORIAL

I’m there to capture the story as it unfolds, but also to find those moments where a slight adjustment — a step into better light, a change of angle — turns an image into something truly striking.
