Modern Era Weddings destination photography and videography teams cover any US venue with no travel surcharge within Florida and Pittsburgh markets.

Full-weekend destination photography packages designed to capture every moment from arrival to farewell.

A digital contract and retainer payment locks in your team. We handle every production detail from there.
A destination wedding isn't really a wedding day, it's a long weekend. Welcome drinks, a group excursion, the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, and a slow farewell brunch the next morning. Our packages are built around that arc, not bolted onto a single wedding-day shoot.
A lead photographer captures the headline moments (first looks, vows, the toasts) while a second shooter works the room for guest reactions, candids, and a second angle on every key shot. You never have to choose which moment to miss.
Some couples want every meal documented. Others want just the rehearsal and the wedding day. We build the package around your itinerary, hour by hour, so you're not paying for coverage you didn't want.
A handful of edited favorites land in your inbox within the first week, perfect for thank-you notes and the inevitable social posts. The full edited gallery follows in a private online portal you can share, download, and order prints from.
We book our own flights, lodging, and ground transport, and we coordinate directly with your planner before the weekend starts. You don't manage a vendor while you're trying to be a host.
Aerials of the venue, a third shooter for an oversized ceremony, or matching cinematography from our video team, all available, all priced à la carte. Tell us the wishlist.
Beach ceremonies in mid-afternoon sun. Candle-lit chapels with no flash allowed. 16th-century villa courtyards at golden hour. Hotel rooftops after midnight. Our team has worked all of them, so we already know how the light, the heat, and the venue's rules change what we need to do. No surprises on the day.
Send us your weekend itinerary and we'll come back with a coverage plan and quote within 24 hours.
Modern Era Weddings uses day-rate pricing rather than hourly billing — your DJ, photo, and video packages cover unlimited hours on the day of your event. Photo booth packages run a fixed 5 hours of active rental time (additional hours are available as an upgrade). Pricing depends on the artist or DJ you choose, venue location, equipment needs, and whether the service is part of a multi-event Signature Wedding Weekend. Every couple receives a custom quote within 24 hours of submitting a consultation request.
This service is available throughout Southwest Florida (Naples, Marco Island, Sarasota, Tampa, Fort Myers), the Florida Keys (Upper Keys: Key Largo & Islamorada; Middle Keys: Marathon & Duck Key; and Key West), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the Hudson Valley and Finger Lakes regions of New York. Travel is also available for destination weddings in the Berkshires, the Poconos, the DC metro, and nationwide.
For peak season (October-May in Florida, May-October in Pittsburgh) we recommend booking 9 to 12 months in advance. Off-season and short-notice bookings are accepted when availability allows.
Our photography team operates under the Modern Era Weddings umbrella as part of one creative team alongside the DJ, lighting, and video divisions. This means coordination between the photographer and the DJ/emcee is built in — the photographer always knows what's coming next on the timeline.
Coverage size depends on the photography package you choose, but because we shoot multi-day weekends couples typically receive 1,000-2,500+ professionally edited high-resolution photos delivered via private online gallery within 4-6 weeks of the event.
Our destination packages are built for full-weekend coverage from arrival to farewell — welcome event, getting-ready, ceremony, reception, after-party, and Sunday brunch. Every package includes a lead photographer plus assistant traveling together so no event in the weekend goes uncovered.
Yes. Every destination photography package includes a professional lead photographer and a second-shooter / assistant to capture parallel moments, alternate angles, and any cocktail-hour or after-party rooms running simultaneously.
Yes. Drone aerials and full videography are optional add-ons priced into the destination package. Drone work is subject to local airspace rules at the destination — we handle the FAA permitting and coordinate with the venue in advance.
