What it costs, and what you get.
Four portrait packages, weddings priced per commission, and the resort travel fee always shown as its own line — so you can see exactly what is photography and what is transport.
20–40 min · a single sunset, a solo traveller, a quick couple session from $320
~2 hours · honeymoons, couples, small families wanting variety $550 – $1,250
~3 hours + reels · a fuller story, with video $1,850
6–10 hours · drone, several locations, a sunset cruise $4,250
Always shown separately, never folded into the package. $480 – $1180
Travel
Why the travel fee is its own line.
Getting to your island is a real cost, and it varies enormously — a speedboat to a nearby resort is not a seaplane to a distant atoll. I quote it separately rather than burying it in the package. It means a couple on a close island pays less, and you always know which part of the number is photography.

Tell me your resort in the enquiry and I’ll quote the exact fee back to you the same day.
Weddings, vow renewals, and proposals.
Priced per commission and planned with you, your resort, and your planner. Full-day coverage for destination weddings; intimate ceremonies on a sandbank or private beach for vow renewals and elopements. For proposals I cover the surprise discreetly, help arrange flowers, music, and the location, and run a short portrait session immediately after the yes.
Brands, retreats & events.

How booking works.
- A 30% retainer holds your date. It’s non-refundable and comes off the balance.
- The balance is due 7 days before the shoot — USD, EUR, or GBP.
- Pay in full at booking and take 10% off.
- If you cancel, the retainer is kept and the balance returned. If I cancel, you get everything back, or we rebook within 12 months at the price you locked.
If anything goes wrong, you’ll hear from me personally within 24 hours with a fix.

A session, a campaign, a private stay or a conference — send the dates, the island and what you need. I come back within six hours with options and hold the date for five days.
