Why I Photograph European Destination Weddings (And How I’ll Capture Yours Like No One Else Can)

When I imagine a wedding day, I don’t just see the couple—I see historic architecture, golden light over olive groves, champagne toasts on a terrace, and moments that feel like a scene from a film. There is something undeniably magical about weddings in Europe, and it’s no wonder more couples are choosing to say “I do” surrounded by timeless beauty.

Hi, I’m Brittany—the founder and lead photographer of Brittany Sanders Photography. I specialize in documentary-style wedding photography for couples who want their wedding day captured with depth, emotion, and elegance. Photographing European destination weddings has become one of the greatest joys of my career, and I’m so honored to be part of love stories that cross oceans.

Whether you're planning a wedding in Italy, France, Spain, Greece, or beyond—I’d love to be the one behind the lens preserving your story.

📍Why Europe?

Europe feels like a fairytale written in real life. Each region has its own heartbeat, and that heartbeat adds texture and meaning to your celebration.

  • Italy: Terracotta villas, rolling hills, and candlelit dinners under the stars.

  • France: Grand châteaus, lavender fields, and timeless Parisian charm.

  • Spain: Seaside cliffs, warm colors, and rich cultural traditions.

  • Greece: Dreamy island light, whitewashed walls, and Aegean views.

  • Scotland & Ireland: Ancient castles, misty cliffs, and wild romantic landscapes.

As someone who shoots both digital and film photography, I’m constantly inspired by these backdrops. They invite me to slow down, observe, and capture images that feel like fine art.

💫 For Wedding Planners: A Reliable Photography Partner Abroad

I understand that destination weddings require seamless collaboration. That’s why I strive to be more than a vendor—I become a trusted partner for you and your couple.

Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

  • Calm, professional presence from arrival to farewell

  • Mastery of light in every condition (sun, rain, candlelight—you name it)

  • Thoughtful documentation of every detail you’ve styled

  • Clear communication and full travel preparedness

  • Editorial + candid imagery delivered with consistency and heart

If you’re a planner curating elevated events for couples in Europe, I would love to connect and collaborate.

🎞️ My Approach: Real Moments, Artfully Told

The couples I work with want more than pretty photos—they want images that feel like them. You won't find forced poses or awkward smiles here. Instead, I focus on:

  • Candid moments that are filled with genuine emotion

  • Editorial portraits that feel elevated and effortless

  • Timeless editing so your images never feel trendy or overdone

Whether you’re twirling in Tuscany, running through Parisian streets, or exchanging vows on a cliffside in Santorini, I’ll be right there capturing the story as it unfolds—honestly and artistically.
