destination wedding photographer
Some weddings are rooted in a place, others in a story — but the most unforgettable ones live where both quietly shape one another. I’m Maricarmen Maffioli, a destination wedding photographer drawn to refined details, thoughtful design, and the natural elegance that emerges when
fashion & landscape meet.
Across continents — from Hawaii’s luminous shores to hidden villas on the edge of the Amalfi Coast — I approach each celebration with intention. My work is for couples who see their wedding not only as a day, but as a curated experience where landscape, culture, and design come together in a way that feels quiet, elevated, and unmistakably their own.
"I view photographing weddings as a collaboration between me and my couples. My inspiration is drawn from the lush nature surrounding us, fashion, architecture, and the simple revealing moments between your family & friends"
-Mari
ICONIC
Destinations
where your WEDDING becomes a JOURNEY
A destination wedding is more than a celebration.
It’s a pilgrimage — to the sun, to the sea, to a city you’ve always loved, or a place that feels impossibly like you.

with INTENT
Exploring Before I Ever Pick Up the Camera
I arrive early. I wander. I listen.
Every destination has its own rhythm, its own secret pockets of beauty — and I let them guide the way I photograph your story.
Light as a Universal Language
Whether it’s the soft, painterly light of Europe or the bold, crystalline glow of Hawaii, I work with natural light to create photographs that feel luminous and instinctive — not staged.
Working Seamlessly With your Planners
High-end destination weddings are choreographed with precision.
I collaborate closely with planners to ensure photography feels effortless, elevated, and quietly present — never intrusive.
TANGIBLE HEIRLOOMS
"The album we received has a stunning velvet cover & thick fine-art paper where every color in the photographs popped. Our friends and family are jealous; other printing options don’t even come close to the quality & design of our album."

HAND PRESSED. HAND MADE. HAND BOUND
for couples who SEE the world DIFFERENTLY
My clients value experiences over spectacle.
They choose locations that move them — not because they are popular, but because they feel like a part of their identity.
They want photographs that reflect:
-
connection
-
atmosphere
-
movement
-
intention
-
place
Not just a wedding day — but a world they lived in together.
DESTINATIONS
that shape my work
-
The Hawaiian Islands — wild, magnetic, endlessly changing
-
Italy’s coastal villages — textured and timeless
-
Mexico’s private estates and desert landscapes
-
California’s windswept coastlines
-
France's manicured garden chateaus
Every destination offers something different — a scent, a sound, a feeling. My role is to translate that into imagery that feels lived-in, emotive, and exquisitely personal.
