For a lot of people their wedding day is the biggest event in their life.For quite a few people they will be spending thousands of dollars. Some couples will even choose to make travel plans beyond their cities.  One of the best places to have a wedding is in San Diego.Let’s examine a little closer a few of the reasons.

When couples are planning their wedding location is a big choice.  For those couples that can afford it going to a different city is an exciting option.San Diego is a city that has a lot of reasons that make it come to mind for this.  Now of course this is going to come from first hand experience working with a lot of couples as a San Diego photographer. So the experience I have gives a big insight.

One of the major reasons is the weather.  Most weddings are done in the summer. Well in general a lot of the places are going to be hot in the summer. One of those locations that is comfortable is San Diego.The weather is really very comfortable on the coast.  This also is a great reason because of your photography.  As a San Diego wedding photographer I appreciate good weather.It gives chances for some great shots to be taken.It makes for a very nice and comfortable photo session. Where your wedding group won’t be having the heat make them uncomfortable.

Another reason to consider is San Diego is really a great location for events.It has a lot of very good hotels that will house your guests.  It has plenty of activities so your guests can turn it into a mini vacation. Doing event photography San Diego has allowed me to see how this works out beautifully.Don’t forget that weddings are huge events taking placeSo the work that you perform is really a form of event photography.San Diego is a great destination for this. 

It is a hope that these few insights is going to give you some feedback to help you make a better choice when making a decision about your wedding location.

Avoiding Disasters on Wedding Days

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — jobself @ 5:03 pm

When most brides and grooms make wedding day plans, they take certain things into consideration. They think about vacation times when trying to coordinate. Or they coordinate the wedding day for the family to be able to make it into town. Or they make plans according to the availability of the church or restaurant.

But one of the biggest things they fail to plan for on the wedding day is the photographer. Don’t think this is something small.  And I am not just saying it because I am a wedding photographer

No planning the wedding day with the wedding photographer in mind could mean all the difference in the world. Especially when you consider the pictures are what is going to be captured for a lifetime.

What are the things to think about when making plans with the photographer in mind. The date and time.

Let’s start with the time.  How many people want their photographer to rush through the photos? I am pretty confident most couples will not agree to that. 

Without even considering your photographer, a majority of the times most couples do just that.  They will force the photographer to rush his shots. 

How so you say?  Well a lot of times, the couple will schedule the ceremony for let’s say 1-2 pm. With the reception beginning at 2:30. How many photos can the photographer really take with only half an hour to work with? Not that many.

Worse yet, what if he does get all the shots? Do you think they are going to take good quality shots when they are rushed?  Of course not.

So plan the wedding and reception with enough time in between to take the photos.

The second thing to think about when doing your planning is to keep the photographer’s availability in mind.

Most probably don’t realize this, but most good photographers will be booked months in advance. Let’s say you are dealing with a large photography company, they probably have a few photographers.

Well without considering your photographers availability on the wedding day could turn into a disaster. Because when you reserve that special day, without making sure your photographer is available, come wedding day you might get a shock when you find somebody totally different.

This scenario happens when you are dealing with a big company.  You might not realize they have plenty of photographers on staff, and if the photographer you fell in love with is booked, unless you specifically ask, the company might not tell you.  When your wedding day comes, they might just outsource their work or a second rate photographer might show up.

Be prepared that you don’t let something like this happen.  Planning your wedding day is wonderful.  Make sure you plan it also with your wedding photographer in mind.
