Top 10 reasons why you should consider a destination wedding
Wedding videography in Italy
Italy is one of the most romantic places on earth. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to travel to Italy on multiple occasions, including special places like Rome, Milan, Tuscany, and of course Lake Como.
Italy, with its rich history, romantic ambiance, and picturesque landscapes, is a dream destination for couples seeking a memorable wedding. For those desiring to capture their special day in all its cinematic glory, Italy offers a perfect stage. As a destination wedding videographer, I can’t think of better places to say ‘I do’ than Italy, as it truly allows me to craft unforgettable wedding films. Italy, often referred to as the "Land of Love," is a country that oozes romance from every corner. From the historic cities to the breathtaking countryside, Italy's timeless beauty serves as an enchanting canvas for capturing the love stories of my couples from around the world.
Wedding videography in Spain
Spain is a land of remarkable diversity, where the old-world charm of historic cities seamlessly merges with the natural grandeur of its landscapes. From the sun-kissed beaches of the Costa del Sol to the enchanting beauty of the Balearic Islands, and from the iconic allure of cities like Barcelona and Madrid to the rustic charm of Andalusian villages, Spain offers a plethora of wedding settings. Couples have the privilege of choosing the perfect backdrop that resonates with their love story, making Spain an ideal destination for weddings that span the entire aesthetic spectrum.
I love travelling to Spain for destination weddings, as I always capture both intimate couple moments, as well as the amazing sun-kissed scenery. The architecture and landscapes in Spain are a work of art, and something I feel passionately about.
Wedding videography in France
I was born and raised in France (Lyon, to be precise), and moved to Manchester in 2006. I love going back to France, whether on holiday or for a destination wedding, as it always takes me back to my roots. France is a unique place, and even more so on your special day. It is renowned for its stunning architecture, from historic châteaux to quaint villages, and its diverse landscapes, including rolling vineyards, picturesque lavender fields, and stunning coastlines. This visual variety is something I always crave in my wedding films, as it provides the perfect canvas for my artistic style to bring your day to life. France is home to iconic wedding destinations like Paris, the French Riviera, Provence, and the Loire Valley. Each region offers its unique charm and beauty, ensuring that couples can find the perfect setting for their dream wedding.
As a Frenchman (with a French passport!), I speak both languages fluently. For destination weddings in France, this is perfect as you get a wedding videographer that can communicate to both local suppliers and the couple in either language.
“Reliving the magic of our wedding through every frame captured - a beautiful tapestry of love, laughter, and cherished moments.”

FAQs
How much do you charge for destination wedding videography?
My rates are the same, regardless of the location you have selected to tie the knot. This is true for UK weddings and destination weddings, too. I offer packages based on the duration of your wedding film. All prices are available on my pricing page.
How do you handle travel and accommodation expenses?
Travel expenses are quoted separately, as they are dependent on the location you have picked. For weddings across Europe, I always fly with budget airlines, typically the day before your wedding, and fly back the day after. If you have already been to a specific venue, and would like to offer suggestions on where to stay, I will follow your lead!
What’s included in our destination wedding videography package?
For international weddings, I always recommend the Feature package. This includes a short film (3-5mn Highlight) and a long version (15-20mn Feature). There is so much to capture that I never recommend just a Highlight video for destination weddings.
How do we go ahead and book you for our destination wedding?
Simply fill out the form on my Contact page with as much detail about your dates, the venue, and any additional information you can share on your vision for the day. If I’m free on your date, we’ll schedule a Zoom call to go through your plans for the big day together.
