We recently started wedding photography - and were thinking about adding a few nice destination weddings to add to our portfolio. I see so many amazing locations in other countries (not that Australia would't have beautiful spots ... we have plenty here!). But I would love to shoot a wedding on an old castle or in the middle of Tuscany ... or an amazing beach wedding in Fiji or Hawaii :-). Ok ... just dreaming ...

I thought about booking the flight first (to get it cheaper) and combine it with a nice holiday and then look for weddings locally. Wedding forums, venues, wedding planners ... would be pretty much all cold calling/emailing. Not sure if that would work. Or source a wedding first and then book a flight. I would charge only our normal rate and no travel costs (as I see it as my holiday).

What is your opinion on this? How would you approach this?

Thanks for some thoughts ...
