Planning a destination wedding often means coordinating with vendors in a different country. In the past, this involved complicated wire transfers, figuring out exchange rates, or mailing checks and hoping they didn’t get lost. In 2024, paying for your wedding services should be as easy as ordering dinner online.
A practical logistical question is: What forms of payment do you accept? The answer is that I prioritize Security and Convenience. I use a globally trusted digital platform that allows you to pay instantly with your preferred card. This post explains the payment methods accepted by Adrian Bonet Photography and why we choose a digital-first approach.

The Platform: Why We Use Stripe
Bank-Level Security
I process all payments through Stripe. It is one of the most secure and reliable payment processors in the world. When you pay an invoice, your data is encrypted with Bank-Level Security. I never personally see or store your full credit card number, reducing the risk of fraud or data breaches significantly.
Ease of Use
You do not need to download an app or create an account to pay me. When it is time to pay your deposit or final balance, I simply email you a secure link. You click the link, enter your details, and you are done in seconds. It allows you to manage the payment from your phone, tablet, or computer, anywhere in the world.
Credit & Debit Cards Accepted
Major Card Networks
Flexibility is key. Through Stripe, I accept almost all Major Credit and Debit Cards. This includes Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Whether you prefer to pay directly from your bank account using a debit card or finance the wedding expenses using a credit card, the choice is yours.
International Transactions
For my clients traveling from the US, Canada, or Europe to the Riviera Maya, Stripe handles the transaction seamlessly. You do not need to worry about going to a bank to get a cashier’s check or figuring out how to wire money internationally. The system handles the currency processing automatically.
The Benefit of Points & Miles
Honeymoon Hacking
Many of my savvy couples purposely choose to pay their wedding vendors via credit card to rack up Travel Rewards. Paying for your photography package on a rewards card can generate significant points or airline miles—often enough to pay for a flight or a hotel upgrade for your honeymoon. By accepting credit cards, I make it easier for you to maximize the value of your wedding spend.
Instant Receipts & Paper Trails
Immediate Confirmation
One of the downsides of checks or wire transfers is the lag time. You send the money and wait days to hear if it arrived. With digital payments, you receive an Instant Digital Receipt via email the moment the transaction goes through. You have immediate proof of payment for your records.
Contractual Peace of Mind
This digital paper trail is linked directly to your contract. There is never any confusion about how much has been paid or how much is remaining. The system tracks it all automatically, ensuring that your booking is secure and your account is up to date.
Final Thoughts
The business side of your wedding should be boring, safe, and fast.
When you book Adrian Bonet Photography, I want the transaction to be the easiest part of your planning. By accepting secure digital payments, I ensure that you can lock in your date quickly and get back to the fun part—planning your celebration.
