‘A Camel Oasis’ California Desert Wedding Inspiration

I am taking you off to the California desert today for an overload of romantic styling with this jaw dropping styled shoot. The shoot took place on 16th March 2023 in Phelan, San Bernardino County, California, in the Victor Valley of the Mojave Desert, north of the San Gabriel Mountains. The whole shoot is just stunning and quite incredible when you think nearly every photo involves a rather well behaved camel, who quite frankly steels the show! I just love the peach tones in this shoot, the Rue de Seine gown is quite magnificent and blends perfectly with the desert backdrop. Well done to planner Areli Event Design and photographer J. Emmanuel Photography, along with their amazing team for putting together such a magical shoot.

The Best Time to Visit Bali on Honeymoon

Bali is home to a tropical climate, featuring year-round heat and two distinct seasons – the wet and the dry. To ensure the best conditions during your honeymoon, here are some seasonal changes to consider:

Dry Season

Between April and October is the best time to visit Bali for a honeymoon, with sunny weather, clear skies and lower humidity. Ranging from 24 to 30°C, the temperature is perfect for embarking on outdoor adventures. Remember that crowds may be larger during the dry season, so book activities/excursions in advance.

Wet Season

The wet season spans from November to March and should be avoided for honeymooners. Whilst the country is beautiful all year round, the wet season brings heavy rain and high humidity which can disrupt outdoor plans. If you’re dreaming of endless sunny skies, a honeymoon during Bali’s monsoon season is not recommended.

Understand What You’re Looking for in a Photographer

Photography is an art form, and each photographer brings a unique perspective to their work. When searching for a wedding photographer, it’s crucial to research their style and skill level with DSLR cameras and other equipment to ensure they have the capability to deliver high-quality images in various lighting conditions. Consider whether you want a traditional approach, something more candid, or an artistic documentary style. Some photographers excel at natural light photography, while others may use advanced editing techniques to enhance photos post-production.

What Defines a Great Wedding Photographer?

In order to take the pictures of your wedding day and make it perfect, the photographer is certainly not limited to mere technicalities. Following are some indicators to consider choosing such photographers:

  • Work and Work History: Study their achievements, in particular study the archive of the wedding photographs. He will have prior experience and knowledge of the events that take place on a wedding day.
  • Comfort Level and Personality: Your photographer will spend the day with you which means you have to be comfortable with him/her. Look for someone whose personality matches with yours.
  • Proficiency in Handling DSLRs and Other Accessories: Some people say that art triumphs above everything and this is true, but technical know-how also matters. Inquire regarding the equipment of prospective photographers. A DSLR camera is an all-purpose camera, and a good photographer will know how to manipulate its capabilities to suit different lighting, angles and composition so that the photos taken are exactly how you envisioned them.
  • Dependability and Professionalism: It is a must that a wedding photographer you are hiring should be dependable, time conscious, and have professional behavior. If for example, inclement weather or a malfunctioning camera occurs, ensure these photographers have a plan ‘B’ in place.
