Morocco Destination Wedding Photographer
Morocco hit me like a film I didn’t realise I’d been waiting to watch my whole life. The colours, the chaos, the quiet moments tucked behind heavy wooden doors. It’s a place that feels cinematic without trying. Which, honestly, is my favourite kind of place. The kind where real life is already doing the most.
My partner Paddy and I kicked off 2026 with our first trip to Morocco, and within about 12 hours I was already mentally planning at least five weddings I need to shoot there.
We started in Marrakech: a full sensory overload in the best possible way. Days were spent getting gloriously lost in the souks, hunting down pouffes, cushions, and ceramics for our little seaside home in Margate (yes, we absolutely bought too much, no regrets). We drank a crazy amount of mint tea on rooftops and in tiny back-alley cafés, ate some of the best street food of our lives… and one deeply regrettable lamb’s head that still haunts me.
We had our first hammam, which was equal parts cleansing and slightly terrifying, and made approximately one million cat friends (or “furry friends” as I insist on calling them, despite Paddy rolling his eyes).
Then we escaped to Taghazout for a week, where life slowed right down. We chased waves that never came, watched sunsets that didn’t look real, became mildly obsessed with the local skateboarders, attempted to be zen in beachside yoga classes, and ate our body weight in tagines.
Somewhere between the chaos of Marrakech and the calm of Taghazout, it clicked: Morocco is perfect for weddings. Not the stiff, posed kind. The kind filled with movement, noise, emotion, dust on your shoes, laughter echoing off walls, and moments that feel like they belong in a film rather than a checklist.
If you’re planning a destination wedding in Morocco, here are a few venues I’d be very happy to “accidentally” find myself shooting at…
La Pause Marrakech wedding photographer

La Pause feels like stepping into a dream you don’t want to wake up from. Tucked away in the Agafay desert, it’s all soft earth tones, flickering candlelight, and that kind of silence you only get when you’re miles away from everything.
This is for couples who want something stripped back but wildly atmospheric. Think long tables under the stars, wind in your hair, and a wedding that feels more like an intimate gathering than a production. It’s effortlessly cool without trying, which is, let’s be honest, the goal.
Almaha Marrakech wedding photographer
Right in the heart of the medina but somehow still calm, Almaha is one of those places that feels like a hidden world. Rooftop views, intricate tiles, soft light bouncing around courtyards. It’s basically a photographer’s playground.
Perfect if you want that Marrakech energy without losing intimacy. Also ideal for multi-day celebrations where people can drift between rooftop drinks, quiet corners, and spontaneous dance floors.
Villa D Marrakech wedding photographer
Villa D is bold, colourful, and unapologetically fun. It leans into that vibrant Moroccan aesthetic in a way that feels playful rather than overdone.
If your wedding involves poolside chaos, great music, strong cocktails, and guests who are up for a good time, this is your place. It’s the kind of venue where things don’t feel overly structured, which is exactly when the best moments happen.
Jardin Des Douars wedding photographer
A little further out, near Essaouira, Jardin Des Douars brings a softer, more relaxed energy. Think lush gardens, warm light, and a slightly slower pace.
It’s perfect for couples who want a destination wedding that feels like a retreat. Somewhere your friends and family can properly settle into, rather than rush through. Also, Essaouira’s coastal vibe adds a completely different texture to your wedding photos (windy hair, salty air, all the good stuff).
Beldi Country Club wedding photographer
Beldi is a classic for a reason. Olive groves, glasshouses, pools, and that perfect mix of rustic and refined. It’s big enough to host a proper party but still feels personal if you use the space right.
It’s ideal if you want variety, different backdrops, different moods, and a wedding that evolves throughout the day. From laid-back daytime wandering to full-on evening celebrations.
Why Morocco (and why me)
I love shooting weddings in new places — not just because they look incredible (although, Morocco… come on), but because everything feels a bit more alive. People are more present. Less routine, more feeling.
I’ve always been someone who travels a lot. Chasing light, food, art, and stories wherever I can find them. Morocco ticks all of those boxes and then some. It’s chaotic and calm, beautiful and raw, and full of those in-between moments that documentary photography lives for.
As I sit here writing this, scanning through our 35mm film photos of our trip with incense we bought from the souks buring away, I’m dreaming of photographing a wedding in Morocco.
If you’re planning a wedding here, I’m not the photographer who’s going to line you up and tell you where to stand. I’m the one quietly noticing your mate crying during speeches, your mum fixing your outfit when she thinks no one’s watching, or you both absolutely losing it laughing halfway through the day.
Whether it’s digital, 35mm film, or Super 8, I’m there to capture what it felt like — not just what it looked like.
So if you’re searching for a Marrakech destination wedding photographer, someone to shoot your gorgeous wedding on 35mm film in Morocco, or even creating nostalgic Super 8 videos in Morocco — you’re in the right place.
And if your wedding involves mint tea, questionable food decisions, sunsets, and at least one stray cat… even better.
