Creating A Memorable Destination Wedding Through Photography

By Helen Price


Some may view a destination wedding as a luxury and waste of time particularly during wedding planning and preparation. But couples who dream to have a perfect fantasy on their wedding day would opt to celebrate this special day in a wonderful destination place such as a famous resort, a peaceful garden, or any place with a relaxing landscape.

A wedding specially celebrated in a far-off vacation island cannot be repeated. This is why capturing this once-in-a-lifetime event by the help of a professional wedding photographer is essential to the bridal couple. Compared to traditional wedding photography, destination wedding photography is even more special not just to the couple but also to their guests who wouldn't always have the opportunity to visit the wedding location.

Having said this, it is crucial for the hired wedding photographer to take his job seriously and get prepared before the wedding day. One thing the photographer must do is prepare a shot list. He must share this with the couple so they can get prepared for the moments when the photographer would take shots. This way they'd appear dramatic, not off-guard, yet there is a touch of a "stolen" shot.

If the photographer finds it costly to scout the wedding location days prior to the wedding, he can just use the Internet to research about the best qualities of the place to guide him in selecting the right angles for a better lighting and perfect backdrop. On the other hand, some couples would allow the crew including the photographers and videographers to go directly to the place a day prior to the big day.

To come up with an unforgettable destination wedding experience, it's also important for the photographer to prepare a back-up plan in case unwanted incidents happen during the wedding ceremony. Bad weather and changes in original plan can destroy a perfect wedding photography if one is not prepared.

It is also important that the wedding photographer is knowledgeable about the itinerary. This will help him calculate his actions and the time he'll take shots. Finally, wedding is still a ceremonial activity and the couple expects the photographer to behave well during a wedding, for a peaceful and important event.
