Documenting the Intentional, Joy-Filled Beauty of Your Micro-Wedding
Photos and films with taste, humor, movement, real audio, and enough direction to make you look incredible without turning the day into a photo shoot.
You’re dreaming of a wedding where every detail is intentional, every moment is meaningful, and every choice is about creating an unforgettable experience for you and your loved ones. This isn’t about following traditions just because you’re supposed to. It’s about crafting a celebration where connection, joy, and love take center stage.
That’s exactly what I do.
I’m not here to make your wedding feel like a production or drag you through endless photo sessions. My approach combines quick, intentional posed moments with natural, documentary-style coverage, so you get stunning images without missing a second of the fun. Whether it’s your best friend’s laugh during dinner or the way your partner’s hand lingers on yours during your vows, I’m here to capture it all in a way that feels raw, real, and completely you.
Your destination wedding deserves more than just pretty pictures. It deserves a storyteller who knows how to balance the beauty of the details with the heart of the celebration, so you can relive the moments that matter most, forever.
Don’t wanna read a long ass page!? Here are the SparkNotes.

Full-coverage destination wedding photo + video for couples with good taste and a full plan
You are building a whole experience around your wedding, so the coverage should feel just as intentional.
If you’re choosing the place carefully, planning something the day before, bringing your favorite people into the same little world for a weekend, and caring about how the whole thing looks and unfolds, you should have someone there who understands that the story started before the ceremony and keeps going after the formal shit is done.
You should know what you’re getting. You should have one contact for coverage, one person thinking through photo + video together, and zero guessing about whether you bought enough hours to remember the full thing.
I approach every wedding as a storyteller, blending quick, intentional posing with natural, documentary-style coverage to capture the real emotions and beauty of your day. The result? Images and films that don’t just look beautiful—they make you feel like you’re living it all over again.
Your Wedding Should Feel Like You
Your wedding day is about more than just beautiful details—it’s about creating intentional moments and celebrating in a way that feels true to you and your loved ones.
Meet your destination wedding photographer + videographer, Shayna Lloyd
Here’s the thing: I am really fucking good at this.
I notice everything. The way the room sounds before the ceremony. The little face your mom makes when she sees you dressed. The table full of half-empty glasses after dinner. The wind. The weird joke. The hand squeeze. The tiny disaster that ends up being funny by the next morning.
My films are vlogs mixed with indie films, so you remember the day as it happened, only cooler and more artful and easier to watch 700 times.
My photos are led by a video brain, so the gallery has movement, pacing, texture, story, and a point of view. You’ll get enough direction to look really fucking cool, then I’ll get out of the way so your wedding can keep being your wedding.
I’m easy to talk to, fun to have around, and very aware of when to hang and when to shut the fuck up.
You get one person thinking about the full story across photo, video, audio, iPhone clips, the weekend, the people, the place, the reason this whole thing matters.
Destination wedding photo + video pricing
(psssttt — this is literally my pricing. No extra taxes or fees or weird upselling later unless you’re trying to book even more coverage lmao, I’ve got you!!)
Have you thought about how you want to relive your wedding day? Imagine flipping through timeless photos that instantly bring back the laughter and connection you felt—or watching a highlight film where you can hear the toasts, the clinking glasses, and the sound of your partner’s voice as they say, “I do.”
Now, picture this: a multi-day celebration where nothing is left out. Every joyful hug, every stolen glance, and every detail you so carefully planned is captured beautifully. A hybrid approach to photo and video ensures your story is documented completely—so the memories of this incredible experience don’t fade but grow richer with time.
Custom payment plans are available for all of the packages! Pay in full, split into a few chunks, or monthly payments — I literally don’t careeeee, my system reminds you, I’m just vibin’.
Your wedding should feel as unforgettable as the people you’ve invited to share it with. Whether we’re documenting a weekend filled with laughter, incredible food, and late-night dancing or a quiet, intimate celebration, I’m here to create visuals that feel like stepping back into those memories every time you see them.
And hey, wedding planning doesn’t have to be stressful. If something doesn’t feel right, let it go—this is your day, and it should feel exactly the way you want it to.

Why couples hire Shayna Lloyd for destination wedding photo + video
I’m a photographer and videographer, so I’m thinking about the full story from the second I pick up a camera.
I’ve covered destination weddings, elopements, multi-day celebrations, tiny family ceremonies, wedding weekends with moving parts, weather, travel, timelines that shift, people with big feelings, people who hate being perceived, and couples who care a lot about having beautiful photos and films without turning the whole experience into a performance.
I know how to direct you when you need direction. I know how to disappear when the good stuff is already happening. I know how to photograph and film different bodies, skin tones, relationships, personalities, families, and dynamics with care and taste.
This is inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming destination wedding photography and videography for couples who want someone with them who sees the art in the day and also knows how to hang.
Someone who cares about the place, the people, the clothes, the food, the sound, the pace, the story, and the fact that this is your real life, even when it looks cool as hell.
INQUIRE FOR DESTINATION CELEBRATIONS:
ENGAGEMENTS ○ MULTI-DAY WEDDINGS ○ ELOPEMENTS
Wherever you’re headed, I’m ready to document it all. Let’s go!
Turnaround Time? Ridiculously fast.
Ya girl is psychotic.
In today’s day and age, you want everything fast — and I want to serve the hell out of you.
I deliver photo galleries within one week and wedding films within one month, because I know you want to relive the trip while it is still fresh, send everything to your people, post your favorite shit, and watch the film 47 times before real life fully kicks back in.
-
I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives the creativity, attention, and care their story deserves. Destination weddings and multi-day celebrations require a personalized, intentional approach.
Dates fill quickly—especially during popular wedding seasons. If you’re dreaming of a meaningful, detail-filled celebration documented with heart and intention, don’t wait. Let’s lock in your date and create something extraordinary.
-
I’ve spent years documenting multi-day destination weddings and intimate celebrations, blending a storytelling approach with a keen eye for the moments that matter most. From luxurious venues to remote, off-the-beaten-path locations, I know how to capture the balance between breathtaking details and heartfelt connection.
With a streamlined process and clear communication, I make working together simple and stress-free from the very first inquiry. You’ll know exactly what to expect, and I’ll be there every step of the way—ready to adapt, guide, and capture the essence of your day so it feels uniquely yours.
From glowing reviews to lasting friendships with past clients, my work is rooted in professionalism, trust, and an unwavering dedication to preserving the memories you’ll want to relive for years to come.
-
If you’re planning a multi-day celebration filled with intention, joy, and connection, we’re probably a perfect match. I’m here for couples who care about spending time with their loved ones, creating incredible memories, and crafting a wedding that feels like them—not just a performance for tradition’s sake.
But if you’re looking for a photographer or videographer to stick to a rigid shot list, stage every moment, or focus on perfectly posed images all day, I’m probably not the best fit—and that’s okay.
I work best with couples who value meaningful moments over perfection and want a mix of candid, documentary-style coverage with quick, intentional portraits. You’re not afraid to ditch the typical wedding timeline in favor of something personal, and you care about making your wedding as unforgettable for your guests as it is for you. If that sounds like you, I’m ready to document every incredible moment.

Your wedding location is a character in your wedding story as far as I’m concerned, but I just love this world we live in — we don’t need to be in a “crazy” destination for the focus on setting and world building to be a vital part of your wedding story!!

I know what it feels like to feel weird and to have a photographer say nothinggggg.
I am big on documenting the day that happens and getting a ton of candid moments, while working in super short pockets of posed photos throughout the day. You don’t want to feel like the whole day is a photo shoot, but you do want plenty of posed images where you feel cool as hell! (Without thinking back on how weird you felt while taking them lmao, none of that will happen with me.)
