UK-based, world-ready. Mark Hartill travels to photograph destination weddings across Europe, the USA and beyond — bringing the same natural, natural documentary style wherever in the world you're getting married.
I'm Mark Hartill — a natural, documentary wedding photographer based in Middlesbrough in the North East of England. I love destination weddings. There is something extraordinary about travelling to a beautiful place in the world and photographing two people getting married there — the light is different, the setting is spectacular, and the whole day has a magic that is unlike anything else.
My approach at a destination wedding is exactly the same as at every wedding I photograph back home in Teesside: completely natural, completely natural, completely unobtrusive. I blend into your day, I let you enjoy every single second, and I capture everything real as it happens. Natural portraits, no interruptions, no stopping your day to look at the camera.
Whether you're planning a Tuscan villa wedding, a Greek island elopement, a Parisian ceremony or a New York celebration — I would love to be your destination wedding photographer. Get in touch to discuss your plans.
Many couples planning destination weddings worry about hiring a local photographer they've never met and whose work they don't fully know. Taking your own photographer means you get the style you love, from someone you've already spoken to and trust.
I bring the same natural, documentary approach to every destination wedding I photograph — whether that's in the Amalfi Coast, the French countryside, the Greek islands or anywhere else in the world.
All travel and accommodation costs are included transparently in your destination wedding quote. No surprises, no hidden extras — just beautiful, honest pricing for beautiful, honest photography.
Enquire About Your DestinationI am open to travelling anywhere in the world. Here are some of the destinations I am actively targeting — but if yours isn't on the list, just ask.
Tuscany, Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, Venice, Rome, Positano
Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu, Rhodes, Athens, Crete
Provence, Dordogne, Loire Valley, Paris, Côte d'Azur

Not on the list? Just ask. I'm genuinely open to anywhere in the world.
Many American couples planning destination weddings in Europe — in Italy, France, Greece or Portugal — choose to hire a UK-based photographer. The reason is simple: the time zones are closer, communication is easier, and a British photographer travelling to Europe has no language barriers or logistical complications.
I'm Mark Hartill, a natural documentary wedding photographer based in Middlesbrough in northern England. I am passionate about destination wedding photography and would love to travel to Europe to photograph your wedding. My style is completely natural and natural — perfect for the relaxed, intimate atmosphere that most destination weddings are designed to create.
If you're an American couple planning a wedding in Italy, Greece, France or anywhere else in Europe, please do get in touch. I'd love to discuss your plans and provide a bespoke quote for your destination wedding photography.
Every destination wedding is different so I provide bespoke quotes based on your date, location and the coverage you need. All travel (flights, transfers) and accommodation are included transparently in the quote — so you always know exactly what you're paying. There are never hidden extras or surprise costs added later.
Get a Destination Wedding QuoteFor destination weddings I recommend booking as early as possible — ideally 12–18 months in advance. Popular dates and locations fill up quickly. A £250 deposit secures your date.
All travel (flights, trains, transfers) and accommodation are included in the price I quote you. You will never receive an unexpected bill. The only thing I ask for on top is a reasonable evening meal on the day.
I'm British and primarily English-speaking — but that's rarely a barrier at destination weddings. Most European wedding venues work with English-speaking couples regularly. And as your photographer, the only person I really need to communicate with on the day is you.
I always arrive at least a day early for destination weddings to explore the venue and surrounding area in the available light. This means I arrive on your wedding day knowing exactly where the best light falls and the most beautiful natural backdrops are.
Tell me where you're getting married and I'll put together a bespoke quote. No obligation, no pressure — just an honest conversation about your day.
