Get Permission to Shoot at Offsite Locations

remember.eps Couples often request to have some of their photos taken somewhere other than where the ceremony or reception is being held. In this situation, always make sure to find out ahead of time whether or not you need permission from the offsite location. Suppose you didn’t think to check and you and the wedding party arrive at the location, only to find a photographer snapping photos of another wedding party, or an official who tells you that you must have a reservation to take photos at that spot. Can you image the stress and panic it would cause, not only to you, but to the couple and their wedding party as well? To avoid that situation entirely, check out the location in the months leading up to the wedding and get the appropriate permissions if necessary.
