Why Couples Choose Us for Their Destination Weddings — Featuring Corkscrew Winery Outside Miami

We’re newly stepping into our role as destination wedding photographers, but the truth is — we’ve been traveling for love stories for years. From coastlines to countryside, we’ve built our craft around photographing people in new places — adapting to every kind of light, landscape, and energy. So while “destination” might be new to our title, it’s been in our DNA all along.

Planning a destination wedding means chasing beauty in its purest form — golden light, unforgettable landscapes, and a day that feels like an adventure from start to finish. But the truth is, destination weddings also come with a thousand moving parts — travel logistics, changing light, and brand-new backdrops that require quick instincts and a creative eye.

That’s where we come in.

Our approach blends editorial energy with real connection — we make art out of the in-between moments while keeping everything relaxed, natural, and true to you.

Recently, we teamed up with our incredible on-the-ground partner Stratton 8 for an editorial shoot at Corkscrew Winery, a lush gem just outside Miami. This shoot perfectly captures how we approach destination weddings: intentional, intuitive, and infused with the light and texture of the place itself.

The Venue: Corkscrew Winery, a Hidden Gem Near Miami

Corkscrew Winery is tucked just beyond the buzz of Miami — a serene escape surrounded by gardens, palm trees, and endless golden light. It’s a dream for couples who want the intimacy of a countryside celebration without losing that tropical South Florida magic.

For our shoot, we imagined a ceremony tucked into the gardens, sunlight spilling through the greenery, followed by an intimate dinner on the winery’s open-air patio. As dusk settled, the space came alive with candlelight, music, and the quiet hum of celebration — a perfect reflection of how romantic and inviting destination weddings can feel when every element just fits.

Why Hire Us as Your Destination Wedding Photographers

1. We bring editorial vision to every destination.
Every place has its own story, light, and texture — and we know how to capture it in a way that feels cinematic and deeply personal. At Corkscrew Winery, that meant leaning into the warm tones of the garden light and the organic feel of the space, creating imagery that felt sun-soaked and timeless.

2. We collaborate with trusted local creatives.
For this shoot, we worked hand-in-hand with Stratton 8, our Miami-based partner, who knows the region’s light, weather, and logistics inside out. When we photograph your destination wedding, we tap into that same kind of local expertise — building a dream team that understands your vision and knows how to make it happen.

3. We thrive in new environments.
Destination weddings are unpredictable in the best way — shifting light, spontaneous rain showers, the kind of moments you can’t plan for but never forget. We bring calm, flexibility, and joy to every moment, so you can stay focused on the fun while we handle the rest.

The Takeaway

Our Corkscrew Winery editorial reminded us why we love destination weddings so much — the light, the people, the freedom to create in new spaces. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding in Miami, Tuscany (like we did! Blog post coming soon…), or anywhere in between, our goal is the same: to create images that feel effortless, authentic, and completely your own.

If you’re dreaming up a destination celebration that blends style and soul, we’d love to help you tell your story.
