Before I dive into Katie and Jake’s beautiful day, let me share a little secret: I absolutely love traveling. As a destination wedding photographer, I feel right at home in airports, juggling tons of bags, chatting with airline agents, and yes, sipping champagne at takeoff (it’s one of the perks of being a destination wedding photographer, after all!).
My love for travel started young, flying solo between Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, and California. Those experiences shaped me into the destination wedding photographer I am today. So when we get booked for a destination wedding, I’m all in!
As a destination wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of working with Katie and Jake for their engagement session at Baker Beach in San Francisco. The Bay Area charm was evident in their photos, but little did I know that their wedding would take us to the breathtaking landscapes of Park City, Utah.
Let me tell you, as a destination wedding photographer, Deer Valley Ranch is a slice of heaven. The resort’s gorgeous scenery provided the perfect backdrop for documenting Katie and Jake’s special day. From snow-capped mountains to lush greenery, this destination wedding photographer couldn’t ask for more!
