One of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer is getting to explore new places with incredible couples. There’s something magical about photographing love stories in locations that are full of adventure, beauty, and meaning. Whether it’s the warm glow of Tennessee light or a view that leaves you speechless, every place has its own energy, and that energy becomes part of your story.
That’s why I’ve created this bucket list of dream wedding locations I’d love to photograph in.
And here’s the best part: if you book your wedding or elopement at one of these destinations and mention this blog when you inquire, you’ll receive exclusive savings or waived travel fees as part of my Bucket List Wedding Offer.
It’s my way of saying thank you for helping me capture a place I’ve always dreamed of experiencing through your story.
Arizona — A Love Letter to the Desert
Arizona will always have my heart. From Sedona’s red rocks to Horseshoe Bend and the Grand Canyon, every view feels like pure magic. The colors, the light, and the vast desert skies make it one of the most breathtaking places to exchange vows.
Because I spent years photographing in Arizona and still travel there often, there’s no hotel fee anywhere in Arizona. Just choose your favorite spot, and let’s make something unforgettable.
