A relatively new holiday destination and a relatively new resort, a perfect combination for soon-to-be-wed couples and their photographers who are on the lookout for a new location for pre-wedding photography. Indeed, couples are often in search of something new, providing them with the opportunity to have portraits captured in a unique setting, thus according them a certain level of exclusivity in terms of imagery.

Plan ahead :
- Do some research on resorts located at the destination and check on airfares.
- Monitor hotel tariffs to see if there are any promotional rates available.
- Perhaps undertake a site visit with your appointed photographer to check out the resort you may have in mind.
- Whilst there, why not have a chat with their wedding team as well on the opportunities of hosting a destination wedding too.
