Destination Wedding Photography by Brett Harkness

Very proud to photograph weddings in so many countries 

Getting married is an amazing thing to do - getting married in another country is even more amazing! I understand that it’s a big decision to take any suppliers with you but over the last 17 years I have travelled all over the world photographing Destination Weddings. Taking a photographer with you is not to be underestimated. Before I started photographing weddings back in 2001 I travelled extensively working aboard a cruise ship out of Miami gave me the opportunity to use Miami as a base and stretch out my wings. Spending considerable time in the Amazon, South America, Hong Kong, India ,USA & Canada. I saw the opportunity to travel with my camera and document the people that I came across on my journeys. Often going off the beaten track looking for stories and individuals to photograph.

Now as a Wedding Photographer what more as a photographer could I want to do! Photograph a Wedding abroad? Yes!! Photographing destination weddings is a true joy. You have spent a long time planning this day so don’t leave the record of it too chance. I have photographed weddings from the shores of the beautiful Italian Lakes to the beaches of Miami. My style is perfectly suited to document your wedding. With a relaxed , informal and fun approach we make sure that nothing is missed. We work fast, meaning you have plenty of time with your guests. We understand that things are different abroad. From handling the contrast and different lighting to dealing with the elements that an abroad wedding can offer.
