ajira - Great post. I should say posts as I'm catching up on a few... got a little (ha!) behind on editing so put the blog reading on hold for a minute. I am eager to do a destination wedding. Would love to network. Do you skype?  Nov 6, 2009, 3:52AM
Laci - oh Stephanie- you're coming to Beaver Creek! You'll love the location- we live there and me and my husband got married in the chapel in BC! Maybe while you're out here we could get a family shoot done! I love your style!  Oct 28, 2009, 10:00AM
Dina Remi - Ok....Can I please be a "nice" vampire in your twilight shoot? hahahaha.... so fun!  Oct 28, 2009, 12:51AM
Meghan - Thanks for posting this Stephanie! This post has me even more inspired to pursure options for weddings out of state (:  Oct 27, 2009, 12:32PM
Stephanie Fay - *Steph-- UM YES... id love to do a twilight shoot... maybe we can work something out? Andrea... I suggest you pack EVERYTHING. I mean.. you don't need to bring ALL camera charges but make sure you have all backup equipment and flash equipment... *Christine- I would LOVE to fly to Atlantic Canada.. are you kidding? AWESOME. *Atpanda-I charge per package. Each package includes different things and they can then pick which one they want. Once they have made a decision, they can then just add travel to either package. *Mary- I suggest networking with other photographers around the world and suggesting them refer you when they can't shoot a wedding.  Oct 27, 2009, 2:11AM
Stephanie Castillo - Hey Steph! How about something FUN and adventurous like we could plan a trip up to Forks and do a Twilight shoot in all that beautiful forestry :-) I am so down to do that!! hehe not that you would pack up and go with some stranger photographer like myself.. but it DOES sound so fun doesn't it!!!  Oct 26, 2009, 10:19PM

Brooke McDougal - I'm pretty sure I wrote you a fan letter a while ago, haha. I'm just looking at your site again and I just have to thank you for all that you do. You are such an encouraging and inspiring person. You are truly gifted, and I think it's so beautiful that you share your gifts with each and every couple you photograph and all of the aspiring photographers that dream of doing what you do. I'm always continually amazed at the emotion that you are able to capture in every single photo. Seriously, your work is amazing! I WISH I would have known about your work when I got married. God Bless! Brooke  Oct 26, 2009, 2:27PM
ashley bugg - we would LOVE to do more destination weddings! our destination weddings thus far only include Sedona and Tucson (where we grew up, so we had somewhat of an existing network)..actually I believe we've shot MORE weddings out of town than in town (we are just over 1 year old).. I'd LOVE to network as well....LOVE LOVE your work..  Oct 26, 2009, 1:20PM
Andrea - Congratulations on your wedding, the pictures were gorgeous! What do you recommend to pack {equipment wise} when you are traveling, especially by air?  Oct 26, 2009, 12:32PM
Christine N - I love this post! I think photographing destination weddings would be so much fun! You're definitely at the top of my list for when I eventually get married. How do you feel about Atlantic Canada? :)  Oct 26, 2009, 10:50AM
atpanda - Loved this post. I've been asked to bid a few out-of-state weddings, but ultimately the couples have decided to go with someone local. I was wondering, I looked at your pricing and you don't price by the hour, so do you always just charge for one full day of photography for a destination, and then they decide what products they'd like as part of the package? Thanks for the helpful post. I love your work! It's no wonder brides don't hesitate to fly you out. :-)  Oct 26, 2009, 10:31AM
Melisa - Thank you, for this post. I am shooting my first wedding (it happens to even be a destination) in Mexico next week! I am excited! Thank you  Oct 26, 2009, 10:08AM
