Hey you!

I’m Brandi, your go-to Michigan elopement photographer plus a Destination Wedding expert! Whether you’re dreaming of eloping in Michigan or having a breathtaking destination wedding, I’m here to help guide you every step of the way. 

Checklist for Planning Your Perfect Destination Wedding:

1. Choose your dream destination

2. Set your wedding and guest travel budget

3. Decide on a symbolic or legal ceremony

4. Pick the perfect wedding date

5. Plan travel for you and your guests

6. Book your photographer – me!

A quick overview, let’s dive deep into each point and see where you will want to have a Destination Wedding. 

1. Choose Your Dream Destination Wedding

Where do you want to celebrate your wedding? Think about the vibe you’re looking for. Is it a warm, sunny beach in Jamaica, a picturesque mountain backdrop in Montana, or maybe an international destination – Italy or Greece? The options are endless! Another consideration is how easy it will be for your guests to get there. Some couples prioritize convenience, while others focus on the destination’s uniqueness. That choice is up to you! 

2. Set Your Wedding and Guest Travel Budget

Your budget will be a major factor in planning your destination wedding. First, decide how much you want to spend on the wedding itself. Then, think about the travel costs for your guests. How much will guests need to budget for their own flights and stays? Setting clear expectations early on will help everyone prepare.

3. Decide on a Symbolic or Legal Ceremony

You have two options for your ceremony: a legal or symbolic one. If you choose a legal destination wedding, you’ll need to follow the legal requirements of the country you’re marrying in, which could involve extra paperwork. Some couples prefer to take care of the legal side of things in the U.S. before or after the destination celebration, leaving the destination ceremony as symbolic. Both options are equally beautiful!

4. Pick the Perfect Destination Wedding Date

Timing is everything! When choosing your wedding date, consider the best time to visit your destination. Look into the weather, local events, and any travel restrictions during certain seasons. It’s essential to pick a time that aligns with both your vision and what your guests can accommodate. I will help with this process too!

5. Plan Travel for You and Your Guests

Here’s where I step in as your travel expert! From booking your flights, resort, and transportation, to organizing travel for your guests, I take care of all the details. You don’t need to stress about coordinating group travel—let me handle the logistics so you can focus on enjoying the experience.

6. Book Your Photographer – That’s Me!

Finally, it’s time to capture the magic! As your photographer + travel agent, I’ll be there to document every special moment, from the little details to the big emotions. Not only do I handle the photography, but I’ll also be your planning pro and hype girl, making sure everything flows smoothly on your big day.

So, what do you say? Are you ready to embark on an adventure of a lifetime! Let’s get started planning your destination wedding today! I’m here to make the process seamless and stress-free, ensuring your day is nothing short of magical.
