Destination & Travel Weddings & elopements
STARTING AT $6,000
Whether you're exchanging vows on the Oregon coast, nestled among the Teton Mountains or crossing the ocean, I make it my mission to weave those places into your story, right alongside the two of you.
My destination wedding packages are designed to be just as seamless and stress-free as if you were celebrating at home. I provide the same level of support and care as I would for a local wedding—helping with vendor recommendations, location research, permits and everything in between. My focus is to make sure you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings while I capture every moment, big and small.

WE'LL MEET YOU THERE
AT THE ROOT OF RACHEL KOBERNIK PHOTOGRAPHY
YOUR EXPERIENCE MATTERS
There are four things at the heart of my photography: Connection, Individuality, Storytelling and Honesty + Kindness. They are my waypoints – the guiding light to ensure you get the best experience possible. Beyond these, you can expect my work to capture the genuine emotion of each moment with galleries that have true-to-color editing, enhanced with a hint of filmy goodness to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Have more questions or want to meet? Hell yeah! Reach out to me here.
The connection between you and your partner, with your closest circle, and with me. Before I even pick up my camera, I’ve got a kick-ass questionnaire that I send out after you book, and I spend a lot of time really digging into who you are. Because when we’re out there, and I see that initial nervousness fade, replaced by comfort and genuine connection, that’s what makes my heart beat fastest. That’s when I know we’re creating memories worth remembering.
Your day is about celebrating you and your person having found each other on this beautiful earth. So do it in a way that feels fucking right to you! Watching you weave in all those pieces of you into your wedding day? That’s as magical as a moon rise. If acts of service are your jam, you bet I’ll be there to capture when they hold your dress train for you or when they do something that I’ve learned is just so them. Your individuality is worth capturing, and I’m here to celebrate the hell out of it.
Pulling back to show you and your love against the vastness of your surroundings. The way the light hits the mountain, the flowers that are blooming, your grandmother’s necklace – all those little things that make this moment your moment. When you look through your gallery, I want you to see it all: the big, sweeping landscapes, the intimate close-ups, and every detail that made your day special.
I never try to force anything to look different than how it naturally is – because what’s real is already beautiful. Not only do I want you to be honest with who you are, but I want that honest version of you reflected in every photograph. For me, a large part of this is inclusivity and wanting every couple – regardless of how their love story looks – to feel at home here. You are absolutely accepted and celebrated for who you are, for who you love, and for how you love.
1 CONNECTION IS EVERYTHING
2 INDIVIDUALITY – BECAUSE THE BEST WAY IS SIMPLY YOUR WAY.
3 STORYTELLING – I’M ALL ABOUT THOSE TINY PEOPLE, BIG WORLD VIBES.
4 HONESTY & KINDNESS – WHAT’S REAL IS ALREADY BEAUTIFUL.
DESTINATION FAQs
First, you’ll fill out the inquiry form on my contact page. That will give me all the initial details I need to know about you, your partner and the dreamy place you’re thinking of saying I do. After your initial inquiry I'll send over my full pricing guide and we'll chat over what you're leaning toward and any questions on a quick call. All the travel expenses (flight, rental car, accommodations, etc) are included in your total wedding package cost so you don’t ever have to worry about additional fees or payments later on. This allows me to take care of all my travel bookings so it’s one less thing you have to do! (Your package is all broken up into a payment plan, of course!)
Once you’ve chosen your package, signed the photography contract and paid your initial retainer – we’re BOOKED, my friend!!
I always arrive at the location at least one day or more ahead of the event (planning ahead for any potential flight delays/traffic/etc). And all my usual goodies are included in every destination wedding: vendor reccs, location scouting, permit research, etc!
If I'm not local to your wedding spot, I do location research by utilizing multiple online resources to see a live view of the area, different blogs/websites explaining the location, Google Earth, AllTrails, webcams and sometimes I'll even reach out to people who live there! All to say, my location research beforehand is EXTENSIVE. I’ve always been a bit of a travel nerd (when I lived in a small village in Ohio, I spent HOURS Googling places I wanted to visit someday – and it still brings me so much serotonin!)
I also go to the location the day before the elopement/wedding day to scout it out in person when possible.
My goal is to capture the genuine emotions of each moment and deliver a gallery with true-to-color editing, enhanced with a hint of filmy goodness to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Many of my clients have described my work as natural, yet elevated and timeless. You can see my past work and field notes on the blog!
The short answer is no. The long answer – I don’t photoshop unless I reaaaaally need to, but that’s usually to remove something from the photo like people walking around (that don’t belong to you lol). I don’t believe in picture perfect, but in what’s deeply, genuinely real.
While I’m based in Fort Collins, CO, I am down to travel wherever your love feels most at home. Within Colorado, I charge minimal travel fees beyond 100 miles of Fort Collins for a one night stay and car travel.
If your wedding is not local to Colorado, my pricing includes a roundtrip flight, hotel stay for 2 nights, and a rental car for transportation. I am happy to come up with a custom travel quote if your celebration includes more than these travel plans. Give me all the details here!
You will receive all photos through an online gallery that you're welcome to share with friends and family! The gallery link will be sent to your email.
I usually deliver around 75-90 images per hour of shooting. However each wedding day is unique so I don't put a minimum or maximum on your photos. I’m there to honor your memories, and I promise to not to leave any special ones out.
I put a lot of care into each image in your gallery, and it's a top priority that you have your photos as soon as possible. Turnaround time for sessions is 3 - 4 weeks, with a preview within a few days. Turnaround time for intimate weddings, elopements, and destination weddings is 8 - 10 weeks with a preview within 5 days.
