Destination Wedding
Photographer

Based in Lincoln, NE — available anywhere your wedding is. Documentary, editorial, intentional. Passport ready.

Wherever your wedding is, we can be there

Destination weddings are part of how NVAR Studios works — not an exception. We've structured the studio so a wedding in Charleston, Sedona, Montauk, Tulum, or Banff is handled with the same intention as one a mile from our Lincoln office. Same documentary style. Same cinematic delivery. Same 2-week turnaround.

How destination weddings are priced

Coverage starts at $1,800 — same as our local base rate. Travel is quoted separately and transparently: flights, lodging for the photographer (and second shooter if applicable), ground transportation, and any other actual costs. We don't mark up travel. You pay what we pay. Quote is provided in the consultation call, and we'll always offer the most economical option that doesn't compromise the shoot.

How we plan a destination wedding shoot

We arrive at least one day before the wedding so we can scout the venue, lock down the timeline with you and your planner, and adjust for any local conditions (golden hour direction, lighting, micro-climate). On the day, we work the same way we would at home — invisible until you need us, attentive throughout. After the wedding we stick around for any additional coverage (welcome dinner, brunch the next morning) you've scoped.

Where we shoot most

We've covered or are actively booking weddings across the Midwest (Chicago, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Kansas City, St. Louis), the West Coast (LA, Portland, San Francisco), the Southwest (Sedona, Tucson, Santa Fe), and the South (Nashville, Charleston, New Orleans). International destinations are handled case-by-case — we hold a passport and we're comfortable working anywhere visa rules allow.

What clients say

Nvar made the entire process effortless. He showed up prepared, knew exactly what shots he wanted, and delivered photos that genuinely look like they belong on a magazine cover. Easily the best money I've spent on imagery.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

How does pricing work for a destination wedding?
Coverage is the same flat rate as a local wedding ($1,800+). Travel is quoted at cost — we pass through flights, lodging, and ground transit with zero markup. The full quote comes out of the consultation call.
How far in advance do you book destination weddings?
We typically lock destination dates 6-12 months out so we can secure flights at reasonable prices and ensure full availability. For peak season or high-demand locations, sooner is better.
Do you carry your own gear when you travel?
Always. Full Sony cinema kit plus backups travels with us as carry-on. We never check camera bodies or lenses, and we have insurance covering anything that goes wrong in transit.
Can you shoot internationally?
Yes — case-by-case based on visa rules for the country. We hold a U.S. passport and have shot in Canada and Mexico. For other international destinations, reach out and we'll confirm we can be on-site.
