Knowing the Importance of Local Culture and Customs
Respecting the local culture and customs when traveling is essential to me—so much so that I have written multiple blogs about how to do that. However, another vital piece of being a destination wedding photographer is understanding the importance of capturing local culture in your photos. When you hire a destination wedding photographer, you must ask them how they intend to respect and honor the local customs when photographing your event. This is to celebrate the location further and the people and their culture.
