Hey there! How can I serve you?

Reasons Why You Should Book Me As Your Local Photographer ? let's see...

Reason #1) Personalized Service and Attention to Detail.

When you choose Salt & Shores Photography as your wedding photographer in Vanuatu, you can expect personalized service and great attention to detail. Taking the time to get to know you and your partner, understanding your vision for your wedding photos, and working with you to create a customized photography plan are my top priorities. With me as your photographer, you can trust that every idea will be discussed, and every detail will be taken care of, ensuring that you have beautiful and memorable photos to cherish for years to come.

Reason #2 Knowledge of the Local Area and Scenery.

One of the biggest advantages of choosing me as your photographer when you get married in Vanuatu, is my extensive knowledge of the area and scenery. Being born and raised in Vanuatu, I know the country like the back of my hand and will know the best locations for your photoshoots, whether it's a secluded beach, a lush rainforest, or a roaring waterfall. Being based here also gives me a deep understanding of the lighting and weather patterns in the area, ensuring that your photos are taken at the best time of day for the best results. With my local knowledge, you can trust that your photos will capture the beauty and essence of Vanuatu, making them truly unique and special and taking you back to where you got married time after times.

Reason #3) Friendly relationships with Local Wedding Venues and Vendors.

Another advantage of choosing me as your wedding photographer is that I'm familiar with most local wedding venues and vendors around. I have photographed weddings of all kind at most local venues and know them in and out, which makes it easy to adjust to weather and light scenarios and pick the best spot for your photos without wasting time having to scout around. I have also worked with resident wedding coordinating teams, local hair and makeup artists, florists, caterers, and Djs and have good relationship with most if not all of them. So on your wedding day, having a team of vendors that knows each other can make your whole experience comfortable and fun! And if you're looking for a particular vendor, chances are I can recommend someone to you! 

Reason #4) Ability to Capture
Authentic Moments and Emotions.

Being a wedding photographer born and raised in Vanuatu has the advantage of enabling me to capture authentic moments and emotions that are unique to Vanuatu. I understand the local culture and customs, and can incorporate them into your photos in a way that a non-local photographer may not be able to. I also have a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the island, and can use it as a backdrop for stunning and memorable photos. With me as your destination wedding photographer, you can trust that your wedding photos will truly capture the essence of your special day and the country in which your decided to celebrate this next chapter of your story.
