Destination Wedding Photographer & Film-Maker
I'm Aaron, a UK destination wedding photographer based in North Yorkshire. I photograph your wedding abroad and make your highlight film too, so you fly out one person you already know, not two teams you've never met.
Why bring me with you
One person, one flight, photographs and film.
Most couples marrying abroad choose between a resort photographer they meet on the day and flying out a photographer and a videographer separately. There's a simpler way.
I photograph the day in a relaxed, documentary style and make your highlight wedding film as well. You catch up with the people who travelled to be there. I catch what happens.
You know who's turning up.
We talk on a video call first, in plain English, months before you fly.
No conveyor belt.
I'm there for your wedding only, not three that day.
Short, easy group photos.
In the heat, nobody wants to stand in a line. We get them done quickly and get you back to the shade.
Award-winning at home.
North East Wedding Photographer of the Year 2022.
Founding couple offer
No photography or film fee for three founding couples in 2027.
I'll be straight with you: I'm building my destination portfolio. There are three founding couple places in 2027, one per country, offered to whichever couples book first. When all three are booked, the offer closes. There's no photography or film fee. You cover the travel, as listed below.
Photography and film
Photography and your highlight film, for 2027 weddings: full-day photography with no fixed finishing time, like my Willow package, and a 3–5 minute highlight film with real audio. The album and pre-wedding shoot aren't included.
The travel
Return flights, a checked bag for camera kit, two nights' accommodation, and airport transfers or car hire. You also cover any fee your venue charges outside suppliers. A £100 booking fee secures your date, and it comes off your travel and accommodation costs.
The full service
The same contract, the same care and the same full gallery as any couple who books me at home.
Three founding couple places in 2027, one per country, offered to whichever couples book first. When all three are booked, the offer closes. In return, I'd like to share your photographs and film on my website and social media, and with your suppliers.
Where I travel
Destination wedding photography across Europe and Thailand.
These are the places I'm taking founding couples. If yours isn't here, ask anyway.
A real wedding abroad
My friends' wedding in Pattaya, Thailand.
A beach wedding in Pattaya, Thailand, with palms, a pier over the sea and a flower canopy at the water's edge. It's the first wedding I've photographed abroad.
Photographing it taught me what matters abroad: plan around the heat, keep the kit light, and give the couple time with the guests who came a long way.

How it works
From first message to flying home.
We talk
Tell me your date, country and venue. We have a video call to see if we get on.
You check with the venue
Ask whether outside photographers are allowed, and whether there's a fee.
We book travel
We agree flights and accommodation together before anything is paid for.
I arrive early
I'm there the day before, I look round the venue, and on the day you get on with your wedding.
Good to know
Destination wedding photography questions.
Do you photograph and film?
Yes. I photograph the day and can also make a highlight wedding film. One person doing both means one flight and one room to pay for, not two teams.
Is the founding couple offer really free?
There's no photography or film fee. There are three founding couple places in 2027, one per country, offered to whichever couples book first. When all three are booked, the offer closes. You cover return flights, a checked bag for camera kit, two nights' accommodation, airport transfers or car hire, and any fee your venue charges outside suppliers. A £100 booking fee secures your date, and it comes off your travel and accommodation costs. You get full-day photography with no fixed finishing time, like my Willow package, and a 3–5 minute highlight film with real audio. The album and pre-wedding shoot aren't included. In return, I'd like to share your photographs and film on my website and social media, and with your suppliers.
Have you photographed weddings abroad before?
I've photographed friends' wedding in Thailand. Beyond that, most of my work is in North Yorkshire and the North East, which is exactly why the founding couple offer exists. I'd rather be straight with you about that than pretend otherwise.
Will our venue or resort let us bring our own photographer?
Most will, but some resorts charge a fee for outside suppliers or ask you to use their own. Ask your venue before you book me, and I'll help you with what to ask.
Can we legally marry abroad?
It depends on the country. Many UK couples do the legal part at home and hold a symbolic ceremony abroad. The government's getting married abroad tool gives the current rules for each country.
When do you arrive?
I plan to arrive at least the day before, so a delayed flight doesn't become your problem, and so I can see the venue and the light before the day.
Do you photograph elopements and small weddings?
Yes. Two people on a mountain or thirty people at a villa both suit the way I work: quietly, without taking you away from your guests for long.
Let's check your date.
Tell me where and when you're getting married, even if you only have a month and a country in mind.
