Why would the student make a good senior rep:

We get asked this a lot! “Do you travel for weddings”. Absolutely we do travel, while travel heavily affects what we do on the prep side, it is always very fun to be at a wedding in a semi unfamiliar location, the creativity can run wild, and not have the norm of  ’knowing’ where the ‘usual’ shots are, because we come up with our own. The prep starts the rehearsal, we attend the rehearsal and tour the property at the time of your wedding. From that point we note and determine some very fun and artistic locations for the portraits. What are the benefits of having a photographer go with you? Say you live in “Central Florida” and you are traveling to Jamaica, Ochos Rios, Turks, Caicos or Cayman Islands your selection for a photographer should begin at home. You will have a better experience with the photographer since he/she will be local and give you higher customer service than that of a photographer at your destination. The reason is your photographer would travel with you and when you arrive home after the honeymoon you be a bit better in communication and contact with your hometown photographer. You might not want to either call or have the items shipped or posted back home as it could get really expensive and delayed.

Most photographers who travel with you will be by your side the day of for the specified amount of time. Most resort, the all inclusives will have a person there photographing you at an inflated package with deflated features. This goes for Cruise Weddings too, they all do the same type of package. (wedding ceremony coverage and 2 portraits on cd, 1000.00+) While that time is limited to a 30 minute window of ceremony since so many people are coming through doing the destination weddings it seems great but its not a value I appreciate. That’s why when you research a local, add the airfair and courtesy 3 nights of stay you might be better off and also get a lot more features.

This year we did turn away one for Jamaica as I was sad to do so but it had already been booked for a while. When you are asking the photographer if he/she travels, don’t always jump into hey your going on a vacation work. When we did a wedding in Puerto Rico (my family’s home Country), and the turn around that required us back at home the next weekend, we didn’t have time to enjoy the ‘workcation’ so thats always something to take in consideration of your photographer. When we go to the destination weddings theres a few things we do to make sure your images are safe on the way home. We do a upload while on location (usually takes 14hrs), and then duplicate the memory cards, and fed-ex or ups them home. (thats our practice). But other than that it really does work out nice to be able to have a unique setting to the norm of a photographers hometown. Complacency is one of those things that do tend to make the photos feel cookie cutter.
