Absolutely. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, a special trip, a proposal or simply want to preserve your time in Watamu, photography experiences can be booked independently.

Absolutely.
One of my roles is helping you navigate the destination with confidence. Having spent more than twenty years visiting Watamu, I can guide you through practical aspects, local culture and the rhythm of life on the Kenyan coast, helping you feel prepared while embracing the beauty of the unexpected.

Yes. While many couples choose a private elopement, others prefer to celebrate with a small circle of loved ones. Experiences can be designed for just the two of you or for intimate gatherings with family and close friends.

It depends entirely on your needs. Some couples simply need guidance and local recommendations, while others prefer a more hands-on approach with support throughout the planning process and on-site presence during the experience.

I can help you shape the overall experience, including accommodation suggestions, transportation support, local experiences, trusted contacts, ceremony ideas and the flow of your days in Watamu.

The goal is not to follow a fixed itinerary, but to create an experience that feels personal and aligned with your vision.

No. Accommodation, transportation and third-party experiences are arranged separately and tailored to your preferences, travel style and budget.

I’ll help you navigate the options and connect you with trusted local contacts, but every experience remains flexible and personalised.

There is no fixed duration.
Some couples choose a simple one-day celebration, while others prefer to spend two or three days immersed in the experience, allowing time to slow down, explore the area and fully embrace the atmosphere of Watamu.
In general, I often recommend at least two or three days. This creates space for meaningful moments, beautiful light, unique locations and a more relaxed rhythm, without feeling rushed.

Understanding your overall experience budget helps me make recommendations that feel realistic and aligned with your priorities.

Some couples dream of a simple and intimate escape, while others wish to include private experiences, extended stays or a safari. Knowing your priorities allows me to curate an experience that truly reflects you.

Hakuna Matata: one of the most beautiful things about Kenya is that it teaches you to embrace a different rhythm.

Weather, tides and unexpected moments are all part of the experience. While careful planning is important, some of the most memorable moments happen when we leave space for spontaneity.

Not at all. Many couples reach out with only a feeling, an idea or a dream. The first conversation is simply an opportunity to explore possibilities together and understand whether we’re the right fit for each other.

Watamu is ideal for couples who love nature, slow travel and meaningful experiences. If you’re looking for authenticity, warm light, ocean air and a celebration that feels deeply personal, it may be the perfect place for you.

In most cases, yes — but it depends on the type of support you initially booked.
If you’ve chosen the Presence & Curation experience, there is often flexibility to add photography, film or both later in the planning process, depending on availability.

If you’ve booked only Experience Planning, I may not be physically in Kenya during your dates. In addition, storytelling is a very personal part of the experience and reflects my individual creative approach, which is why it cannot simply be delegated to another photographer or filmmaker.
But no panic 🙂 For this reason, I always recommend discussing your storytelling wishes as early as possible, even if you’re not ready to make a final decision.
