Book ahead
Like all vacations and trips abroad, it always helps to book early and plan ahead. In the case of your destination wedding shoot, deciding on your theme allows you narrow down the dates of your photoshoot, such as Japan’s sakura season in April, or the aurora borealis in the Nordics from September to April.
Once you have your dates and locations set, purchase your flights for better seats and to avoid fare hikes. You'll also need ample luggage allowance for your gowns and suits.
“Destination photo shoots—or even local shoots for that matter—require careful planning, especially with regards to logistics and even calculating the travelling distance from one location to another,” Sebastian says.
“Tourist attractions or popular locations may also require photography permits, so be sure to write in for permission and find out the fees or restrictions involved.”
Also, book your photographer early so they can plan ahead.
