Destination Wedding Photography & Videography

But the unfortunate truth is that most venues’ destination wedding photographers are impersonal, inexperienced, and treat your wedding day like a stock celebration.

Not to mention they likely won't have a videographer option for you.

You’ve heard countless stories of brides who planned the wedding of their dreams abroad, only to find that the pricey venue photos were less than wall-worthy.

Meanwhile, you’re investing so much time, energy, and effort into the adventure of a lifetime, and having photos and a wedding film that capture that beauty is one of the most important parts! There are no wedding day do-overs, and you want to capture it right. 

You said “yes” to a destination wedding for a dreamy adventure, 
not a picture-planning nightmare

It’s no secret that planning a destination wedding has a lot of moving pieces. But as a husband & wife videographer and photographer team, we make every move together.

What makes Avodah 
destination weddings different?

All-inclusive travel & lodging

Planning support & guidance

Cohesive photo and video coverage

We won’t be fighting each other for time with you or disagreeing about where to shoot. We plan and scope everything together so we’re always on the same page! A streamlined experience makes all the difference in planning a stress-free day.

Whether you’re envisioning a simple getaway or a week-long adventure, handling all the details leaves a lot on your plate! All of our destination wedding packages include wedding planning guides, vendor coordination, and planning calls so you know exactly what will happen from sunrise to sunset.

Our packages include flights, a car rental/transportation, and a hotel stay for the two of us for up to a week! This time is completely accessible to you and usually includes location scouting or venue tours for the ceremony, reception, and any other documented events, a complimentary adventure session the week of your wedding, rehearsal dinner coverage, day of coverage, or day after coverage, whatever you need!

Every destination wedding package includes:

This isn’t just wedding photos + videos. It’s a warm and personal experience.

This isn’t just wedding photos + videos. 
It’s a personal and professional experience.

Location scouting 

Whether we've traveled to your destination before or it's been on our bucket list for years, we don't just show up and shoot and hope for the best...we spend hours of time researching your location, looking at Google Earth Pro to find exact locations we want to shoot at, plan around sunrise/sunset times, and plan around weather to make a streamlined experience for everyone involved!

We’ll take the time to make sure we’re the right fit for you, brainstorm ideas for your day, and keep all our planning details organized in one place.

A consultation call + client portal

The Full Picture? Our destination wedding photography and videography packages include:

Not only have we shot hundreds of wedding days together and have learned a thing or two along the way, but we planned our own wedding day from scratch, AND traveled every month for a YEAR for work after getting married, so we know how to pack our bags (and help you pack yours too!)

Full scope wedding planning guide (with a packing list!) 

With our destination packages, you get both of us for a full week at the destination you choose! Whether we're documenting events for one day or multiple, we'll help you create a schedule that includes everything you love and nothing less - no need to choose between 6, 8, or 10 hours with us!

Full day to multi-day coverage options

We'll take the middle-man job from you! We'll directly work with your destination wedding planner to create a cohesive experience for you and your guests!

Coordination with your destination wedding planner

You're choosing to get married in one of the most beautiful places in the world, why wouldn't you want photos in your everyday clothes as well? We'll help you choose a location, coordinate outfits, and we'll already be there, so it'll be at no extra cost to you! 

Complimentary adventure session

You don’t have to wait to share the joy with the people who celebrated from home! We deliver a curated preview gallery and teaser film to you within one week of your wedding day!

Why photo and video?

Pretty much anywhere! There might be custom travel fees if we’re traveling to, say, Antarctica, but our packages include travel fees to all of the most popular destination wedding locations in the world.

+ Where will you travel for destination weddings?

If you need us to stay on-site with your wedding party to avoid paying vendor fees at your venue, we’ll make it happen! We can plan our accommodations and customize your package based on your needs. (This is often a hidden fee, so make sure to confirm with your venue ahead of time!) 

+ Will you stay on-site with us?

Absolutely! We thrive when we get to shoot together, but we do offer collections for just one service or the other. When you inquire with us, specify in your form what you're looking for. We can talk you through your options when we connect!

+ Can we book you for photography or videography only?

+ Do you provide a second shooter?

Yes! Some of our collections include a second photographer, a second videographer, or both! We’ve worked in the industry for over 5 years, and only invite high-level professionals and people we think you'd jibe with, because that matters too! 

We know how excited you are to share your day with your people! That’s why our packages include a First Week Sneak Peek* and a teaser video to share. We take pride in everything we deliver and want to bring you to happy tears, so our editing process isn’t one-filter-fits-all. High quality and attention to detail take a little time! Your final product will arrive 3-6 months after your wedding day depending on the package you choose, and it'll be just like Christmas morning…so worth the wait! We aren't just slapping a filter on your photos or throwing a song over your film: we obsess over the details as if your photos/videos were our own! What’s a few months when you’ve got a whole lifetime ahead of you, yknow? 

*Fine print alert! Depending on the schedule for the week, we may take up to 2 weeks to deliver your sneak peeks and teaser film. Inquire for a full package breakdown to learn more!

+ How long will it take to get my photos + elopement video back?

+ Where is my money going?

Great question! A lot of places. When you decide to work with us, we don’t treat it as a one-day deal. Between phone calls, timeline planning, location scouting, vendor matching, traveling, multiple days of shooting, and editing your photos for delivery…*deep breath*...we invest a minimum of 40 hours into each wedding experience — and for some packages, it’s more than double that! So your investment isn’t just going into a product that will last a lifetime. It’s also going into our time, our thoughtfully curated process, and business investments like gear, education, & training. Since part of Avodah’s mission is to give back & serve, some of your investment will support causes we care about! We donate to 3 different organizations & ministries a month — you can read more about that here!

We shoot no more than ONE destination wedding per month because of the time, dedication, and connection we put into each experience! That means we won’t be jetting off to shoot anyone else’s wedding in the final weeks before we shoot yours. Our destination wedding availability is limited, so if you already have a date picked out, reach out ASAP to see if we’re available. Fingers crossed! (We’ve got two hands each, so that’s double the good luck.)

+ How many Destination weddings do you shoot each month?

Absolutely! We thrive when we get to shoot together, but we do offer collections for just one service or the other. When you inquire with us, specify in your form what you're looking for. We can talk you through your options when we connect!

Yes! Some of our collections include a second photographer, a second videographer, or both! We’ve worked in the industry for over 5 years, and only invite high-level professionals and people we think you'd jibe with, because that matters too!
