How freaking exciting! The world of wedding planning can be intimidating enough, but throwing in traveling to a different country (in most cases) can add even more stress. If that sounds like what you\u2019ve been experiencing, you\u2019ve come to the right place. As a full-time intimate wedding and elopement photographer, trust me when I say: I gotchu. I&#8217;m here to let you in on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-plan-a-tropical-destination-wedding\"> How to Plan a Tropical Destination Wedding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check the Weather + Plan Accordingly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This might be an obvious one but it can easily be overlooked with all the hustle and bustle of planning a destination wedding. If you\u2019ve always dreamt of having a wedding party and them dressing to the nines, despite 100\u00ba weather\u2026 linen suits and flip flops for the guys are your friend! Seriously, cannot recommend enough. Linen suits still have a classy vibe without a tuxedo material. For the bridesmaids, knee-length and breezy dresses will make for a very happy wedding party \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3024\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/?attachment_id=3024\" class=\"wp-image-3024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-1067x1600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-43-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3026\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/?attachment_id=3026\" class=\"wp-image-3026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-1067x1600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-96-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3025\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/?attachment_id=3025\" class=\"wp-image-3025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-1067x1600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-46-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research your Resort\u2019s Packages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is something I wasn\u2019t totally familiar with at first.

A lot of resort destination wedding packages include a photographer (and videographer) &#8211; and you\u2019ll have to do ****a lot*** of pushing back to use someone else.

From the scenery, to the resort vibes\u2026 your destination is undoubtedly beautiful. My biggest encouragement is to scope our locations that you want photos done. Keep in mind how strong the sun is &#8211; any photographer will tell you how difficult it is to shoot in direct sunlight (plus, nobody wants to have squinty eyes in their portraits). Most photographers will do location scouting before your big day, but it\u2019s always nice to have some backups!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3017\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/?attachment_id=3017\" class=\"wp-image-3017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-1067x1600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-147-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3018\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/?attachment_id=3018\" class=\"wp-image-3018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-1067x1600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-148-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3019\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/?attachment_id=3019\" class=\"wp-image-3019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-1067x1600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/michellegodfreyphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/21.7.5_SHELLYROB-170-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sneak out During Golden Hour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You already <em>know <\/em>where I\u2019m going with this one.
