Now booking limited 2026 + 2027 destination weddings!
Your Destination Wedding is meant to be fully lived, not just posed for.
You’re not just planning a wedding in a new destination (Caribbean, Europe, Thailand… the options are ENDLESS!) that you love most—you’re crafting an experience that feels authentically YOU. You want to be fully present, soaking in every laugh, tear, and spontaneous moment with the people who mean the most to you.
But you also want incredible photos or your stunning destination venue that bring it all back—the magic, the energy, the emotions—without feeling staged, rushed, or like you missed out on your own party.
That’s where I come in. 💛
Hey, I’m Sara Monika! I’m a Wedding Photographer available for Destination Wedding Photography around the world. You name your location, I’m there!
I’m not just here to take beautiful photos—I’m here to give you the freedom to be fully present on your wedding day while capturing the essence of your day with deep intention and artistry.
I balance intuition and intention, artistry and organization, presence and preparation. With 13 years of experience, 350+ weddings, and an innate ability to read energy and emotion, I know exactly how to document your story in a way that feels natural, real, and deeply personal.
Your wedding isn’t just about you—it’s about all the love surrounding you. That’s why I don’t just see you as my clients—your family and friends matter just as much in the way I capture your day.
You deserve a photographer who just gets it.

My top favourite venues to photograph destination weddings and elopements worldwide are: Castell de Barxell in Spain, Brooklyn Grange in New York, La Haut Plantation in St. Lucia, Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters in Jamaica, Hotel Costa Verde in Costa Rica, Iceland, El Pendolero in Spain, Flower Forest in Barbados, and Dreams Sapphire Resort and Spa in Mexico.

Because your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime story unfolding in real time.
Hiring a documentary-style destination wedding photographer means you get to be fully present with your people, soaking in every moment without being pulled away for stiff, overly posed shots. I focus on capturing the real emotions, the quiet in-betweens, the happy tears, the joyful chaos, the moments you didn’t even know were happening but will mean the most later.
Destination weddings are full of beautiful contrast—unique nature, landscapes, architecture, and vibes, and I document it all in a way that feels authentic, timeless, and totally you!
So if you're dreaming of photos that make you feel, that tell the full story from beginning to end like your own personal movie, this approach might be exactly what you're looking for.

If your heart is set on working with a specific photographer (hi, maybe me? 👋), I recommend booking 10–18 months in advance.
That said, I’ve had couples reach out two years ahead and others who found me with just a few months to go, so if you feel aligned with my work and energy, reach out as soon as possible. I only take on a limited number of weddings per year to give each couple my full heart and energy, so dates tend to fill up quickly.
If you're dreaming of those storytelling, emotion-filled images and a stress-free experience that lets you be fully present, let's chat sooner than later. I'd love to document your day in a way that feels true to you. 💛

Absolutely! I live for photographing weddings in beautiful places all around the world! Whether you’re getting married in a villa in the Spanish countryside, a cozy mountaintop cottage, a beach in Tulum, an all-inclusive resort, a castle in Ireland, or a historic venue in Europe, I’m in!
Travel is included in all of my wedding collections, whether you're celebrating in Ontario, across Canada, or anywhere around the world. No surprise fees, no logistical stress, I take care of all the details so you can focus on soaking it all in.
If your dream location is a little off the beaten path or full of personal meaning, that’s even better. I believe your love story deserves to be told wherever it unfolds. 💛
“We could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding! We are an international couple (Polish-Spanish) who got married in Spain and had the luck of having Sara Monika as their wedding photographer, coming all the way across from overseas!”
We met Sara about 2 years ago in Poland, when we got the chance of having our engagement photoshoot in Zakopane with her.
For our wedding, we decided to go with Sara because we really liked her natural style of photography, her ability to capture the moment and the way she uses light. The ability to work with sharp light was very important for us since we got married under the full Spanish sun, at 12:00, at the end of August. Sara, while maintaining her style and her way of working, listens to your wishes and is flexible to achieve great shots. She lets things flow and gives you space to feel comfortable and secure, this while giving you ideas, always sharing her expertise to guide you throughout the day. On top of this, she is very friendly and funny, and handles pressure really well.
My wife is also a wedding photographer, and had no doubts that Sara would kill it, and oh boy she did! Sara ran the whole day not to miss a shot. Many guests told us after the wedding about how devoted the photographer was, and once they saw the photos, they simply were amazed.
Thank you Sara for everything, the memories that we created will last forever. Thanks to your great work.
