I have always loved destination weddings. I have always loved the beach or some fancy destination in Europe. And now you're doing a destination wedding. I can already tell that you’re doing all of your research. You’re on the right path to planning your dream wedding day at a destination resort! Something that isn’t common knowledge is that when you book your wedding at a resort, you are assigned a photographer that you don't get to choose. You may get to look at their portfolio but you don’t really get to get to know them or do an engagement session with them. That means that you won't know who it is that will be photographing your big day as well as you probably won't have much or any contact with them before your big day. And honestly, that kind of sucks! But that isn't always the case, and here is why I think you should consider bringing a photographer with you from your hometown when you have your destination wedding.
