COVID19 Weddings in Jamaica
March 1, 2021

 

If you are asking yourself, “What is COVID19?”. Then I would suggest you ask the person next to you. It has a been a challenging year handling this pandemic. Well as is relates to traveling, the entire world has been affected significantly.

Destination weddings have been significantly impacted as a result to COVID19. Many of our Brides have had to cancel and reschedule their weddings multiple times. However, despite all that is happening life must go on with safety measures in place. As the travel breaks/bans are lifted many Brides take the opportunity to still have a small wedding with close friends and family. The wedding planners have been doing a great job at executing COVID19 Weddings. Social distance is being enforced along practicing good hygiene. We encourage tourist and brides to reach to resorts and Photographers for advise.

Jamaica Summer Heat
July 11, 2019

It’s currently wedding season in Jamaica and we are booked and busy. But the heat we are currently experiencing during the days is ridiculous. On average it reaches about 90 degrees Fahrenheit. And in the middle of these heat waves, we are blessed with sporadic rainfall. Majority of Brides have chosen to go with ceremony times between 1-2pm just in case it rains later. However, outdoor at this time of the day is difficult for everyone involved in the wedding. As a result keep the ceremony as short as possible is always a good idea.

Wedding Planner Or Photographer

We encourage brides to consult with there wedding planner and photographer in regards to selecting a good time for photographs. If possible we can  get a few family shots outdoors and rest periodically to keep cool. The photo shoot for the couple specifically might be extended because of the heat and weather on their wedding day. However, Tuson Photography will not compromise getting the best photos possible. Because what is the point of coming to the beautiful island of Jamaica without getting some lovely outdoor photos. If possible we provide the option of continuing your the photo shoot the following day.

Stay Hydrated

Please be remember to  keep hydrated throughout your time in Jamaica summer heat as a means of combating the heat. Additionally, bring your sunscreen or purchase as soon as you get to your hotel. Our beaches are beautiful but that does not mean your skin should feel the consequence of it. If your would like to get in the shade and still enjoy the water. Visiting attractions such as Dunn’s River Falls, YS Falls, Reggae Falls, Mayfield Falls among many others is a great adventure. Bring your photographer on one of these adventures to capture it.

Jamaica is located in the tropics which is close to the equator.

Jamaica Destination Wedding Coordinators
August 18, 2018

Jamaica destination wedding coordinators are key players in every wedding event transitioning from one moment to the next. Often times brides think it’s a waste of money and would rather do it themselves. But let’s address it today. It is important to hire a professional and not a friend/family member as the lead. The coordinator should be able to work objectively, and ensure that time is treated with much respect. Brides that take on this role will tell you its better to give this responsibility to someone else. Photographers work closely with the coordinators and maybe able to suggest one. Jamaica Destination Weddings are a big deal and requires a lot time and energy.

Wedding Dress
May 18, 2018

Every girl dreams of her Wedding Dress and how she will look in it. But as many decisions in life are, it can be very tough to make a final decision.

Traditionally in some cultures, wedding dresses are sometimes handed down from one generation to the next with slight modification. However, today many opt to help design or accessorize their dress. Bridal stores online allow brides to look at dresses instead of having to go in the store.

The Brides Wedding Dress reflects her personality, Whether she is an introvert or an extrovert the dress will tell.
Jamaica Destination Weddings impact the Brides decision on whether she chooses a beach or Garden wedding. Beach wedding dresses are usually simple in design allowing the bride to move freely as well as keeping cool in the tropical climate. Garden weddings, on the other hand, see the bride wearing a more traditional dress. Nonetheless, the decision is on the bride as she is the main attraction and everyone is happy to see her.

The Bride aims to blow her husband to be mind when he sees her for the first time, whether it be during a “first-look” or at the altar.
Wedding Dresses vary in prices based on design, accessories, and brand. The bride must decide if she is going to buy her dress or rent it. If the dress is bought then the option for a “trash-the-dress” shoot now exists.

To view and purchase from a wide selection of dresses visit https://www.davidsbridal.com

Brides Bestfriend
May 14, 2018

The destination wedding photographer is the brides best friend on her wedding day.  This may sound appalling right now especially if you are indeed the one(best friend) reading this. But let us think about it for a second. The photographer would have been in contact for some time prior to the wedding day with her. Keep in mind this is not your typical wedding, and it actually outside of the country. Now, if you haven’t visited Jamaica before chances are you do not know anyone. Hence, the first contact the bride will make is with a photographer or a wedding coordinator.

The Photographer is the perfect guide for the bride. Especially on the wedding day, he should be helping to keep her calm and composed while the wedding planner executes the logistics of it all. Photography will document this wedding day in detail and it is utmost importance that the brides display a warm and welcoming appearance to everyone. The destination wedding photographer should also be able to provide reviews of brides that he has worked with; this will even help to alleviate any anxiety that the bride may experience.

Jamaica destination weddings vary across the board in term of complexity. Some are very simple on the beach with just the bride, groom, minister, witnesses and the photographer. While others are the total opposite with persons coming from all over the world in large groups in which the photographer and coordinator will make suggestions to the bride.

Destination Wedding Photography in Jamaica
May 8, 2018

Destination Wedding Photography in Jamaica

Jamaica has increased in popularity during the last couple of years for destination weddings. With the new wave of social media, many have started to travel and share their experiences.

Couples no longer just come to the islands to elope. They are taking along their family and friends along for the experience. Tourist areas such as Negril, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and most recently Portland have been growing with infrastructure. Visitors have the option of selecting from a range of all-inclusive resorts as well as motels to choose from for their visit.

Jamaica is located in the Tropics and does not experience winter. Hence, weddings can be hosted throughout the year with just the threat for some rainfall. The sunset in Negril is very relaxing and pleasing to the soul. Just imagine having that background for your wedding photos. Jamaica wedding photographers look forward to this moment to capitalize on the golden hour perfect for natural light photography.

Photographers from all over the world travel to Jamaica to shoot weddings as well. It is a great boost to their catalogue. Bridal magazines from all over the world have written plenty of articles on the island. Combined with beautiful photos from photographers like Tuson Photography

Destination weddings require a great deal of planning. Hence, making contacts months ahead is a good ahead whether it be with photographers or wedding coordinators that will assist in the planning process. For couples that will stay at resorts, it will be easier as the resort has their in-house wedding department.

Jamaica wedding photography community is also growing daily to facilitate the demand for couples. So booking your destination photographer as soon as possible is a plus. Be sure to ask for reviews as well as work to substantiate photographers credibility.

Ideal Photographer in Jamaica
February 1, 2018

Jamaica Destination Photography

In order to make this selection, you must first have the criteria you are working with. This will set the groundwork in shortlisting and ultimately making a selection. Nothing is wrong with shopping around, getting to know the photographer in the area. Note, not all will be friendly and accommodating. Do not be bullied into signing contracts before you are satisfied.

Every bride is special in her own and knows exactly what she wants. Let us assume her first decision is a destination wedding in Jamaica. She now has to do her research on various aspects of her wedding taking place in that environment. The location and resort of choice will be at the top of the list. The theme of the wedding will also coincide with this. The ideal photographer will be advised based on the variables given for this particular wedding in order to execute efficiently.

Next, as a bride or coordinator, you must discuss with the photographer the photography style that resonates with her. Two of the most popular are:

Traditional Wedding Photography

This has been the forefront of many wedding albums dating back to the early era of weddings. This typically included shots of friends and family with the couple, cake and rings etc. These shots can be achieved using a shot list and can even be the baseline for photography.

Photojournalistic Wedding Photography

The photographer remains un-obstructive while capturing.

In this day and age photography has evolved significantly and as such if your photographer is not versatile in the field then you might end up being dissatisfied.

So take your time in your selection and ask questions as they can never be too much. Check reviews and visit wedding blogs as other brides may be able to refer quality information.

Moments To Remember
February 1, 2018

Every Bride and Groom look forward to one of the most memorable days in their life. This, of course, no other than their Wedding Day.

However, this spectacular event requires much planning and time. It ultimately comes down to the execution of the many events/scenarios that will take place on the day.

Destination Weddings places a bit more pressure on the couple as they venture into a new environment. They will be meeting new people and building relations before even meeting face to face.

Most weddings take place in just one day. It is therefore important that you create a shot list and share with your photographer.

Getting Ready

The Bride and Groom get ready simultaneously or based on the photographer suggestion. Photos of the details such as ring, dress, tuxedo and shoes are captured

Ceremony

The is the pinnacle of the wedding as this is when couples exchange vows and share their first kiss. The photographer captures every heartfelt moment of the couple and the audience.

Photoshoot

Immediately after the ceremony friends and family gets a chance to have share photos with the new couple. The wedding photographer also coordinator so that everyone is satisfied without sacrificing the couples moment.

Reception

The couple will be fed as well as the guest. And selected individuals are given a chance to give a toast. They also cut the cake and share the first dance. All of which is a photographer will be front and centre to capture.

Jamaica weddings are not different from around the world. Couples will include their own traditions as they so, please. Hence, discussing your wedding details and expectations is very important with your coordinator and photographer. Nothing is left up to chance as this event only takes place once for a couple. Tuson Photography ensures accountability.
