Why You Should Have a Destination Wedding
Are you dreaming of exchanging vows in a unique and unforgettable location, surrounded by your closest family and friends? If so, a destination wedding might be the perfect choice for you! Having a destination wedding adds an element of adventure, excitement, and romance to your special day. As a photographer, I have had the privilege of capturing many destination weddings, and here are a few reasons why I believe you should consider it too.
Stunning Locations
One of the most obvious advantages of a destination wedding is the opportunity to get married in a breathtaking location. Whether it’s a tropical beach, a historic European city, or a mountaintop summit, you can choose a setting that reflects your personal style and creates a memorable backdrop for your wedding photographs. These extraordinary locations provide unique and stunning landscapes for your wedding memories that you and your guests will cherish forever.
Intimate Celebration
Destination weddings often result in smaller guest lists, as not everyone can travel to attend. Instead of inviting the whole extended family and countless acquaintances, you can focus on inviting only your nearest and dearest. This allows for a more intimate celebration, where you can truly bond and connect with each and every person present. As a photographer, I find that smaller weddings promote a relaxed atmosphere where I can capture genuine emotions and interactions between the couple and their loved ones.
Extended Celebration
Unlike a traditional one-day wedding, destination weddings often turn into week-long celebrations. This means that you can enjoy quality time with your guests and create unforgettable memories together. It’s a chance for your loved ones to take a break from their daily routines, explore new places, and enjoy a mini-vacation while celebrating your love. As a photographer, I’ve noticed that this extended celebration allows for more opportunities to capture candid moments and special interactions throughout the week. It also makes for even more memories!
Stress-Free Planning
Contrary to common belief, destination weddings can be less stressful to plan than traditional weddings. Many resorts and venues offer all-inclusive wedding packages, taking care of every aspect of your wedding, from accommodations to catering, to decorations and entertainment. This allows you to focus on the most important details, such as your dress, the ceremony, and choosing the perfect photographer to capture your day.

Additionally, wedding planners at the destination are often experienced with coordinating events from afar and can take care of the logistics, leaving you to enjoy the anticipation and excitement leading up to your special day.
Unique Cultural Experiences
When you have a destination wedding, you and your guests have the opportunity to immerse yourselves in a new culture and experience local traditions and customs. This can add a layer of richness and significance to your wedding, enhancing the overall experience for everyone involved! As a photographer, I love capturing the blending of cultures and seeing how different traditions come together to create a truly remarkable celebration of love.
Overall, having a destination wedding provides a remarkable and unforgettable experience for both couples AND their guests. With all of these amazing perks, it’s no wonder why destination weddings have become increasingly popular! I can personally attest to the joy and pure magic that comes with capturing these unforgettable moments in extraordinary locations. So, consider taking the plunge and make your destination wedding day an unforgettable adventure!

“Eryn has created some magical images out of a session with a very two year old and a large group(most of which despise photos). But she pulled it off and we are so in love with our images! I love the lifestyle and movement caught. Her editing style is so beautiful. These photos are worth so much more and will be treasured for a lifetime and then some.” -Morgan
