Destination wedding photographs from Isla de Mujeres Mexico

I journeyed to Isla de Mujeres Mexico recently to photograph a destination wedding. What a great place! Laid back, relaxed, authentic, and abounding with fantastic scenery. Isla de Mujeres is a short ferry ride off the coast of Cancun. It is a special place which will leave you relaxed and completely satisfied. This is the place to head when you want all of your friends and family to join you in your destination wedding in Mexico!  There are tons of cute and intimate restaurants in town such as La Patio where the rehearsal dinner was held……

HJB Photo now giving wedding photography contract advice on Live Person website

If you are about to enter into a wedding photography contract and have no idea if your contract is sound and want to get advice about it, contact me through the Live Person website…

http://www.liveperson.com/hjb/

I am now offering expert wedding contract advice via the Live Person expert consulting site. You can make sure you are up to date on all the wedding photography industry lingo, have an expert review your potential photographer’s work and give advice and tips about things that might be missing in your contract or in their offerings. The process of finding a wedding photographer can be daunting with so many photographers offering so many different packages, albums, and contracts that the whole thing can put you in overload.  For example, who will actually make your wedding album? Is it made with templates or designed by a 3rd party? Who is the actually photographer who will show up on your wedding day….is it the same person whose work you saw and loved or does the studio say they can send anyone?  How many pages come in your album and how much are additional pages? Have you seen an entire wedding shot by your potential wedding photographer? How large are the digital files that come with your package? Will the digital files be converted into black and white for you or will they come only in color? Contact me on the live person site if you want help sorting through all of the details and  and are in need of insightful tips.  Don’t get caught in a wedding photography contract that doesn’t suit you…sort it out before it is too late.
