I’M KRISTIN

destination wedding photographer

& business coach

—

After just a single season in my local German market charging €750 per wedding, I began exclusively booking destination weddings in my dream locations of England, France, Italy—at rates 10x that. I’ve had the joy of photographing real weddings at iconic venues like The Ritz Paris & Château de Versailles. My work has been published in Condé Nast Traveller, Style Me Pretty, Brides, and more.

At first glance, it’s tempting to assume these dreams came true with ease... that the journey was straightforward. But, in reality, I floundered and struggled my way through. I looked to the industry for guidance on achieving my destination dreams but came back empty. Generic tips weren’t moving me forward. Destination, portfolio-building workshops were out of my budget.

So I did the only thing I knew to do: Create the path myself.

THAT REALITY IS JUST ONE STEP AWAY

It’s sunrise. The village is quiet. The bakeries smell of fresh bread and the cafés of espresso. Lavender and rosemary linger in the air.

You throw open the shutters, take a deep breath in, and let out a sigh of gratitude.

It’s another day on the job—another day of working a destination wedding in the location of your dreams.

Imagine a wedding business beyond borders—a business that allows you to travel and experience beautiful places.

Imagine a couple joyfully choosing you among the rest—valuing you and your work to such a degree that they fly you to their wedding.

Imagine living out your dream...

not after years of struggling

not after throwing tactics left and right

hoping something will finally stick

not after going at it alone,

lacking a place to turn for wisdom

not after feeling less-than for seeing others

doing what you wish *you* could do.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

common questions & hesitations

QUESTION 01

QUESTION 02

QUESTION 03

“This is a significant investment

for my business right now. How do

I know this course will be worth it?”

“Is this course only for

photographers or is it for other

wedding professionals as well?”

“I’m not really interested in working in Europe. Can the lessons be applied

to any destination market?”

Absolutely! Although I give examples from my own experience in the European market, the course material can be applied to ANY destination where you’d like to work that is beyond where you currently live. For example, the course can also be used to established yourself in a market you’re moving to—before you even officially move. From Paris to Bali to Cancun to a city two hours from you, this course enables you to book weddings in the places of your dreams.

This course is for designed for any wedding professional seeking to branch out of their local market and reach the destination market. It’s best-suited for photographers, videographers, planners, florists, and other vendors who need to be present on a wedding day. For vendors specializing in products such as stationery and accessories ( who don't need to be physically present on a wedding day), I offer 1-on-1 mentoring to provide custom destination wedding roadmaps specific to your business goals. Learn more here.

I’ll be straightforward with you: Yes, this course is an investment. But it’s an investment you’ll see returned both in quantifiable and unquantifiable ways. How can we possibly measure the value of living our dreams? But one thing is certain: The experiences you’ll gain while fulfilling your deepest yearnings and traveling the world will be with you for LIFE. By making this investment today, you’ll revel in the benefits for the rest of your life!

QUESTION 04

QUESTION 05

“Other photographers have promised destination wedding education, but haven’t delivered. How is this course different?”

“I’ve attended a destination workshop, but haven’t booked a destination wedding yet. Will this course get me different results?”

Honestly: Yes. While destination workshops are great for meeting others and getting beautiful content, attendees often leave without the experience and ACTIONABLE steps they need to become destination wedding vendors. Plus, photographers and videographers leave with the exact same content as everyone else—everyone who’s targeting the same destination you are. The Destination Wedding Academy offers the exact roadmap you need to actually BECOME a destination vendor—and not just have the photos. Plus, the investment is a fourth of what popular destination workshops cost.

Here’s the thing: I don’t believe in gatekeeping secrets. I believe in empower others to achieve their dreams. It’s that simple. You, me, and every person on earth has unique beauty to offer. Rather than do it on my own, I’d so much rather equip others to serve well, thrive in their passions, and create beauty that impacts others. Humanity is stronger with artists in it. Humanity is more beautiful with artists in it. So my mission with this course is to share the secrets, the nitty-gritty details, the WHOLE journey so that YOU can go out and make the world a more beautiful, loving place through art.

It was 2019. After moving to my husband’s native Germany two years prior, I’d endured a season of feeling lost and alone. I found myself in a small Bavarian village—far from home, loved ones, and the fiery creative passion I once had.

As difficult as that time was for me, I emerged with a deep sense of love for myself. I had nurtured a beautiful sense of "home" within myself. And from that tender place, I began to thrive.

It’s now my mission to inspire others to feel at home in themselves.

The Destination Wedding Academy exists as an extension of this devotion. I firmly believe that as you pursue your wildest dreams, you’re honoring your true self. In spite of fear, distractions, and doubts, when you realize your dreams, you’re fulfilling a radical purpose. And in doing so, you’re spreading love, beauty, and grace to countless others.

I invite you to live out your own dreams—to experience the radical joy of scaling your business and working with fully-aligned couples in the most spectacular destinations.
