OUTDOOR WEDDING SAN DIEGO

Tips for an outdoor wedding:

• Make your guests comfortable - think about what the weather will likely be at the time of day and month of the year of your outdoor wedding
• Have a backup plan - what will you do if it rains?
• Plan for wind - many outdoor weddings suffer from windy conditions
• Consider timing your outdoor wedding for sunset where your guests will see you take your vows surrounded by the warm glow of the sun
• Look into renting a sound system with clip mikes for the bride, groom and officiant
• Visit the site a week before the wedding to make sure the grass is mown, the ground raked, and the flowers have bloomed
  
  
  
• Make things tasty outside - does your caterer have experience planning an outdoor wedding?
• Permits - don't forget to contact your city parks department or other local government to get a permit for an outdoor wedding
• Hosts - designate hosts at the entrance to the garden where the wedding will be held to direct guests to the correct area
• Golf carts - rent golf carts for guests who have difficulty walking distances to help them to the area of the garden where the ceremony will take place

Outdoor Wedding Picture
There are many options and elements that go with California outdoor wedding photography. Prices begin at approximately $1,000 and go as high as $5,000+. Things that can affect the price are the number of locations, the wedding albums you order, the styles you’re looking for, etc. Photographers can be trained at college and then start out on their own. They can also learn by becoming an apprentice under a big-name photographer, learning the tricks of the trade by accompanying them to weddings and being taught all the different techniques.

With the exception of her groom, the photographer is debatably the most significant wedding decision a bride will make. The location may be dreamy, the flowers magnificent, the men may be fine-looking, the women gorgeous, and the whole congregation may be moved to tears by the proceedings, but your own and your families’ memories of the celebration will start to die away even before the flowers do. The strains of final preparations, guests and sentiment have a way of blurring the ceremony and reception for the typical couple and their families. The portrait viewing may be the first chance you have to really see the results of all your planning.
