When I was making my list of goals for the year back in January, I had a hard time coming up with things. In the past it was so easy! There were lots of milestones I was striving for as a new business owner…being able to go full time, booking x amount of weddings, etc. After being fortunate enough to accomplish many of the dreams I had back when I was just starting out, I wasn’t 100 percent sure what I wanted to do next or what I wanted to start working towards. I don’t envision myself as striving to become a “rock star” photog or anything like that. I’m happy creating beautiful images, serving my clients, and doing both of those things as best as I can. I realized though, there’s one really big “bucket list” type dream I’d really LOVE to accomplish…and that’s a destination wedding!

I, like everyone else, LOVE to travel. John does too. Though we don’t get to do it as much as we’d like to, visiting new places together is something we really enjoy. It’s my goal to shoot a destination wedding (okay, maybe more than just one) not just because we want to travel the world together (we do) but because I’m inspired deep down in my heart by parts of the world I’ve yet to even see. As a creative, I yearn for experiences and scenery that fire up the desire in me to create beautiful images, and some of my dream destinations really fill me with joy just even thinking about them. I believe feeling inspired and creating for the love of it are so important to the process.

Here are a few of my DREAM SHOOTING DESTINATIONS!

• Big Sur
• Iceland
• Hawaii
• Venice (both in California, and Italy)
• Alaska
• Mexico
• Glacier National Park
• England
• Paris, France (duh)
• Seville, Spain
• Florence, Italy
• New Zealand (hey, might as well go big, right?)
• Bali
• New Orleans
• Redwood National Park
• Las Vegas (a Vegas elopement sounds so fun!)
• Antarctica (again, might as well go big or go home!)
• Fiji (ditto above)
• Greece

Needless to say, I’m dying to work with couples who love photography and love travel. Especially those who are inspired by nature and architecture (and amazing cuisines!) like I am. If you are thinking of having a destination wedding and love photography, please reach out to me! I’d love to chat with you!

Also, can I just say, I totally wish HONEYMOON PHOTOGRAPHER was totally a thing?
