How Much Are Your Wedding Pictures Worth?

Although there are many aspects that make up your perfect wedding, your wedding photography is the one that lasts the longest, providing you with a treasured collection of images that you can look fondly back on in years to come. Wedding photography often makes up a large part of your wedding budget, however, and it can be difficult to know whether it’s worth the expense when money is tight.

The Pros and Cons of Professional Wedding Photography

Hiring a professional wedding photographer may seem like a big investment, especially when you have so many other things to pay for as you plan your wedding. But if you think about it, your wedding pictures are the one thing you will take from your wedding and keep for years to come. There are many benefits to professional wedding photography, not least because knowing that you’ve hired a professional means there is one less thing to worry about. A professional wedding photographer will be able to provide you with examples of their previous work and give you a real idea of their style and the quality of their photographs.

A professional photographer knows how to organize their approach so that they capture all the essential, classic shots you need from your wedding pictures as well as the details and candid moments throughout your wedding – sometimes appearing to be everywhere at once as they unobtrusively but skillfully capture memorable shots of the couple and their guests.

You hire a professional for their time and expertise, from the wedding preparations to the very end, and you will benefit from their commitment all the way through your special day. An amateur photographer may also be a guest, and will want to join in the celebrations now and then, potentially missing crucial pictures that a professional would have caught. A professional also knows just how to arrange and position guests for group pictures and how to encourage you to pose naturally in order to show off your outfits and make the best of your venue and location. They will not only have technical ability with a camera, but also with lighting – an essential skill when it comes to indoor photography, and one an amateur may be lacking.

Weighing both sides of the coin, a professional photographer seems to always be worth the extra expense when it comes to capturing one of the most important days of your life. For more information on Miami Photography, contact Jonathan Dann Photography by calling 305-791-5795.

Consider These Inexpensive Wedding Locations that Won’t Break Your Wallet

Your wedding is among the most pivotal moments in your life, an event that you will remember for the rest of your days. That doesn’t mean, however, that you have to break the bank paying the location and catering prices of the typical and most popular wedding venues. Here are some places that offer a picturesque and memorable location without costing an arm and a leg.

Parks
Many city parks allow you to have a wedding there for a nominal fee. Look for ones that have a covered patio, special details like fountains, or grassy picnic areas.

Theaters and Performance Halls
A theater might seem like an unusual wedding venue, but they can be quite magical, and you will be helping to support the arts. Many towns have under-used old-fashioned movie theaters that will add vaudeville charm. For a more modern feel, look into contemporary local theater companies who rent out their spaces during the off-season or dark nights.

Your College
Remember that charming chapel and alumni house at your college? It's usually very cheap for alumni to have their weddings on campus and sometimes not much more for non-alumni. Just make sure it's picturesque - we're talking ivy-covered halls and green hills, not barren concrete industrial buildings.

Creative and Unusual Places
Whether it's the top of a roller coaster, an old mill, or the unique place you met, a creative wedding location will instantly give your wedding lots of personality. Because these places aren't used to having weddings, you might be able to snag them for a steal, though you'll often have to bring in extra rentals.

No matter where you choose to hold your wedding, Jonathan Dann Photography has got you covered. Look to nobody else for your Miami Photography services, as few other photographers can offer such vast experience and comprehensive skill. For more information, call 305-791-5795.

Best Hotels For Destination Weddings in Miami

There are many advantages to hosting a wedding at a hotel. You don't have to shop around town for a caterer, a decorator, a wedding cake designer, a florist, and so many other vendors -- most hotels are a one-stop shop and, most often, help in the planning process for free.

A prominent Hotel Industry news source, Oyster.Com, recently compiled a list of the best wedding hotels in Miami. Out of 121 hotels, these were deemed the favorites:

1. Biltmore Coral Gables
Miami's most elegant and historic hotel is also its most prestigious black-tie wedding destination; the food is superb, and the Biltmore's gardens, terraces, and ballrooms are some of the most beautiful, ornate wedding locations anywhere in Miami.

2. The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne
The Ritz is one of Miami's most luxurious hotels, and it's weddings uphold the brands' standards of service and all-around opulence.

3. Hilton Bently Miami/South Beach
For a wedding in South Beach, the Hilton Bentley is a fine choice -- excellent food, style, and a less crowded beachfront.

4. Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay
Although it's a business hotel at heart, this downtown Marriott comes with great views and attractive prices (from $82 per person).

5. Palms Hotel and Spa Miami Beach
The Palms offers beautiful settings (on the beach or under a gazebo) for a simple ceremony -- no bells and whistles here (unless you bring in your own) but you do get accommodating service.

6.Trump Doral Golf Resort and Spa
It's far from a beach and the food can be costly, but the grounds are beautiful and the bar is reasonably priced. Plus, this is one of the few hotels with a kosher kitchen.

7. Doubletree Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay
A great, private outdoor terrace overlooking the bay and affordable wedding packages make the Doubletree a solid all-around choice (from $73 per person).

No matter the venue, Jonathan Dann will make your wedding photos special, unique, and memorable with unparalleled personalized service. For your Miami Photography needs, call Jonathan Dann Photography today at 305-791-5795.
