Transparent travel (the part everyone wonders about)

I photograph destination weddings — travel is real and I keep it simple.

Your final quote = Base photography fee + Travel at cost

Base photography fee is fixed (my work).
Travel at cost means you pay only the real expenses required to be there.

I usually travel with my family. Their flights and personal expenses are always on us — your quote only includes the real costs required for me to photograph your day.

Travel can include:

  • flights / ferry

  • accommodation (only when needed by timing)

  • local transport (car / transfers)

  • luggage fees if required for gear

What you’ll receive (so it feels safe):

  • a travel estimate upfront

  • clear breakdown (what, why, how much)

  • no booking without your approval

One sentence you can highlight as a “promise”:
Travel costs are not my profit. They’re simply what it takes to show up.

Booking in 4 steps

  1. You send your date + location + vibe of the day

  2. I reply with a clear quote + travel estimate (usually within 24h)

  3. We hop on a short call (optional, but recommended)

  4. Contract + retainer, and you’re officially booked

Retainer & payments:
To secure your date: 50% retainer + signed contract. The remaining balance is due 14 days before the wedding.

FAQ

Why are prices “from”?
Because coverage length, logistics and travel vary — your quote is always confirmed for your date.

Do you help with locations and timeline?
Yes. I’ll suggest spots, timing and a realistic flow so the day stays calm.

How many photos will we get?
A curated collection that tells the story fully. Typical ranges are 400–800 edited photos, depending on hours and events.

When do we get the photos?
You’ll receive a first preview within 24 hours, 50 edited photos within 7 days, and your full gallery within 4 weeks.

Do you deliver RAW files?
I deliver fully edited images in my signature style. RAW files are not included.

What if the weather is wild?
Portugal can be dramatic — we adapt. I’ll suggest options and we’ll keep it natural.

Do you travel outside Portugal?
Yes — across Europe. Travel is always quoted transparently at cost.

Can we customize a package?
Absolutely. Packages are a starting point, not a cage.

How far in advance should we book?
For peak season, the earlier the better. If your date is close, still ask.

How do we start?
Send your date + location + approximate timeline — I’ll reply with a clear plan, numbers, and a travel estimate.

Do you ever travel with your family — and does it affect the price?
No. If my family joins the trip, their travel and expenses are paid by us. Your quote only includes the costs required for me to photograph your wedding.
