Editorial Destination Wedding Photography with a multi-lingual photographer
Al fresco dinner beside Mallorcan ruins... Aperol toasts by Portofino bay... Sunrise at your favourite spot... I want to document the whole vibe of the place you love so much that you chose it as the setting for your wedding.
Documenting weddings digitally and on analogue film, my photography is intuitive, soulful, and so you.
Whether you’re a foodie, you’re music obsessed or can’t stop thinking about the fashion… multi day events are the perfect opportunity to show off so much more of what you love.
Travel is the perfect blend of immersion and escapism. You’re so present and aware of your surroundings while simultaneously having some respite from the noise of the every day and the weight of your usual responsibilities. I think that’s what makes destination weddings so special.
Destination weddings often span days, with each event playing a huge part in establishing a relaxed and celebratory ambience. Every location has a different vibe - so there really is somewhere for every couple and type of celebration: from chic city weddings and old Hollywood aesthetic to al fresco dinner and dancing… pool parties, marching bands, opera sopranos !
I’ve seen it all and more and am prepared to help you document each fleeting moment.
Why me?
If you’re looking for a destination photographer, you need someone with stamina, cultural awareness, and positive energy—a shapeshifter who can help everyone feel comfortable, even with language barriers and different customs to consider—while capturing everything in a stylish and authentic way.
I have confidence not only in my technical abilities but also in my people skills. My relaxed yet meticulously organised approach is perfect if you want all the photos but don’t want to feel like it’s at the expense of being present with your guests and partner. I work closely with my couples throughout the process, ensuring that you can reach out as much or as little as you need. Before your big day arrives, we’ll have discussed in depth how you want your day to feel and your gallery to look. My couples know that they have a confidant throughout the process who is invested in not just delivering the best photos, but helping everyone to have the best possible time.
I vet my team carefully to ensure every member fits the vibe check. They are calm yet in-control, are dedicated to helping your day run smoothly, and know how to keep the energy alive well into the night—especially important for destination weddings, which often extend much later than traditional weddings.
IT'S ALSO ABOUT PICKING SOMEONE WHO LOVES WHAT THEY DO WHOLEHEARTEDLY. I THINK ABOUT TRAVEL EVERY DAY; EPIC ARCHITECTURE, LOCATIONS I’D LOVE TO SEE WITH MY OWN EYES AND SHOW MY DARLING SON, PLACES I WANT TO PHOTOGRAPH...
My love for both documenting weddings and seeing the world is a huge part of who I am. As a linguist by trade, I taught languages for nearly a decade before pivoting to photography full-time. I have a degree in Spanish and Italian, and am sincerely grateful that my work allows me to use my languages regularly while traveling throughout Europe. Facilitating meaningful travel experiences continues to be my biggest driving force, and I love that I get to combine it with a career I love, working with like-minded people worldwide.
How to book
To keep things simple, I offer a flat rate for all day coverage with two shooters, plus an hourly rate for additional days so that you can ensure comprehensive coverage. I also encourage a sunrise shoot at a local place of interest to have some time together somewhere beautiful just you two at no additional charge.
If you are interested in working together, please get in touch with as much information as possible about your day.
I honestly don't know how to summarize how amazing Faye is. She is an incredible photographer and an all around wonderful person. My fiancé, Faye, and I had spent months planning our engagement photos in Lake Como. We travelled from Canada to Lake Como and had planned to shoot the engagement shoot in one day. Unfortunately, the 3 days we had in Lake Como were plagued by Thunderstorms. Thankfully, Faye was tracking the weather the entire time. She reached out a day early, noticing that we would have about a half-day of sunshine, and completely re-arranged her (and her family's) schedule, to ensure we got some sunny photos. Her husband and her adorable son even got roped in - driving 45 minutes, just to bring us a drone so that we could get some amazing panoramic shots and videos. Rather than shooting in one day, Faye and her family completely re-structured their trip to allow us to shoot all our photos over the course of two days. Faye literally embodies what it means to go "above and beyond." We could not be more thrilled with how our photos turned out - and the cherry on top is that we got to spend it with Faye, who hyped us up, made us feel comfortable, and was an absolute joy to be around. Faye, we cannot say THANK YOU enough. – Sarah and Marcus
Book now!! Faye was the literal best person for this job, I cannot believe how lucky we were to connect as a couple getting married in Italy, from Seattle, with a photographer from the UK! She coordinated everything so well, made it so easy for us, and her work is 12/10. For context, our immediate text to her after receiving our full album (early no less!): “Okay we finally had the chance to sit down together this morning and go through the photos and they are so so so INCREDIBLE!! They capture the day so perfectly. We’re now stuck wondering how many framed photos of your wedding it is socially acceptable to have!?! - You somehow brought out the PDA in us for probably the first time ever, so major props to you. And we so enjoyed seeing all the photos of the guests, our goal was to host the party of a lifetime and you can see the joy captured on everyone’s faces so well. Seriously, thank you so much, so glad I found you and we were able to make this work.” Not to mention the way she completely listened to my vision, and gave great advice. Texts from friends after seeing photos of themselves include “SUCH a good job, also she was just so lovely to be around”, “we’re obsessed with her”, “she was amazing she came around and got us out of our shell!” Anyways, the love letter could go on, but please work with Faye if you can!
