There are many ways to plan a wedding. You can start out by planning the guest list, you might begin with the wedding dress but at some point in the planning process you're going to have to consider where you want your location photography and that is what today's podcast is all about.

Normally your wedding reception and ceremony will dictate where you have your location photos. By that we mean that you're likely to be nearby, or even somewhere in between your ceremony and reception location. That's assuming that you're not getting married and having the reception all in the one place.

What nearby means in terms of backgrounds should be explored in detail well before your wedding day. You don't want to be making critical photography decisions on the day. You must make these choices beforehand so there are no surprises and no stress.

If you don't know where to begin planning for your wedding then starting out by asking what type of wedding photos you want may help you narrow down the focus. For example if you want Wedding Photos on Sydney Harbour then it's probably not a good idea to be booking a reception venue in Camden. There would just be too much driving on your wedding day making it unpleasant.

If you go the other way and pick your reception venue first then it makes it easy to know what's nearby and where you can go. Just make sure that you don't overcommit to what you can achieve on the day and most importantly make sure you have a wet weather plan!

You need to set realistic expectations of what can be achieved in the limited time you have on your wedding day however if you are clever with your selection of the right locations you will be able to capture more backgrounds than just making it up as you go on your wedding day.

There are 5 x categories of wedding photography to consider in your wedding planning process:

1. Beach

2. Bush

3. Harbour

4. Architecture

5. Quirky

On today's podcast Sue and Rob discuss each one of these backgrounds in detail and what will trip you up and what to watch out for. Grab a pen and paper because you'll want to take some notes on this podcast.
