Destination Wedding Photographer
I’m Paul, a destination wedding photographer from Sydney, Australia, and I’ll be photographing weddings across Europe during the summer of 2026.

Europe is filled with extraordinary venues that set the stage for unforgettable celebrations - from grand villas and castles to rustic farmhouses and intimate boutique hotels. Whether you’re planning a lavish celebration with family and friends or a quiet elopement in the countryside, a destination wedding in Europe offers endless opportunities to create memories you’ll cherish forever.

Personable, Elegant & Modern
For me, wedding photography is about so much more than beautiful images. Of course, the majority of my day is spent behind the lens, documenting each moment as it unfolds. But just as important is the connection I build with you — creating an atmosphere where you feel comfortable, present, and able to truly enjoy every part of your celebration.
My approach is both editorial and emotive: I strive to capture photographs that tell your story with elegance, while also evoking the raw emotion of the day. The kind of imagery that allows you to not only remember how your wedding looked, but to relive how it felt.
Your gallery will be a complete reflection of your day — the details, the quiet in-between moments, the tears, the laughter, and the energy of the celebration itself. More than anything, it will serve as a reminder of how much joy you experienced, and how this day will forever stand as one of the most meaningful chapters of your story.
Destination Wedding Photography
There’s a reason so many couples dream of a destination wedding in Europe. From Tuscan vineyards to the cliffside charm of Amalfi Coast towns like Positano and Ravello, the historic elegance of Lake Como, the lavender fields and châteaux of Provence, the glamour of the French Riviera, and the sun-soaked cliffs and iconic architecture of Santorini, each location offers its own kind of magic.
What I love about photographing weddings across Europe is how naturally these settings align with my style - elegant yet relaxed, modern yet authentic. Whether it’s a long-table dinner under olive trees in Tuscany, champagne in a French château garden, or golden-hour portraits overlooking the Aegean in Santorini, every moment feels cinematic, emotional, and true.
For couples traveling from Australia, a European wedding is about more than the scenery - it’s about immersing yourself in culture, food, wine, and traditions, and sharing that experience with your loved ones. A wedding in Europe isn’t just a celebration; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
As your destination wedding photographer in Europe, my focus is on capturing these moments naturally and thoughtfully — creating timeless images that transport you back to the magic of your day.
