Should I hire a local Tuscany photographer or one who travels from abroad?

This comes down to experience more than location. A local photographer often knows the region's light, venues, and logistics well, which can be valuable. But destination wedding experience usually matters more than a local postcode: photographers who regularly travel for weddings are used to changing timelines, unfamiliar venues, and the unpredictability that comes with weddings abroad, regardless of where they're based. What matters most is whether the photographer has genuine destination-wedding experience, not simply whether they live nearby. Ask to see full galleries from weddings they've shot in Tuscany or similar settings, and have a conversation about how they handle logistics, travel, and last-minute changes. That tells you far more than their home address does.
