Destination Wedding Photography Bucket List

For a while now, I’ve been keeping a little list on my phone of all the places I dream about photographing a wedding (or engagement, anniversary, family)! This is not to say that I want to constantly be traveling – I fully enjoy living in the Hudson Valley, spending quality time with my family and photographing love stories in the surrounding area. But there are some uniquely beautiful corners of the world that I’d be honored to photograph people in. Some are places that I’ve already been to that I’d like to revisit (marked with an *) , and some I only know through the eyes and stories of others. I truly believe that if you put something out there, you want it badly enough, and you work hard for it – it will come to you! So without further adieu, here is my destination wedding photography bucket list! I hope to cross paths with someone who is looking for a photographer in any of these regions!
