We Were On A Tight Budget, So We Brought A Camera And Tripod To Shoot Our Own Wedding Photos While Travelling The World For 3 Years
My wife and I love to travel a lot, 3 years back we decided to get married and take our own pre-wedding photos in different locations around the world. With our tight budget, it is impossible for us to hire a photographer to follow us on our travels. So we decided: why not do it ourselves?
We bought two sets of wedding gown, my wife, Zhu signed up for makeup lessons to do makeup herself, and I bought a decent camera with a few lenses, and most importantly, a tripod.
It took us 3 years to travel around 5 continents: Asia, North America, Oceania, Europe, and Africa. Most of the photos were taken by using tripod and remote, others were taken with a little help of our travel companions along the journey. Photos were shot on different climate and terrain, we created our albums in exotic Islands, world heritage sites, caves, snow, and dessert, even in the Himalayan mountains.
It's pretty challenging to shoot wedding photos ourselves, and we do encounter some difficulties in some of these locations, but most of the time, it's fun. The result might not be as stunning as hiring a professional photographer, but the process of accomplishing these photos together, just the two of us, made these photos precious and memorable to both of us.

Wait wait wait what? Sweety...darling...sit down and listen. You weren‘t on a “tight budget” when you can afford traveling around the world for three years, a “decent” camera, tripod, make up lessons, five different wedding dresses etc. etc. You just needed a tiny little sob story to promote your website, am I wrong? People aren’t envious because you took the trip, quite the contrary, I hope you guys had a blast. People are angry because you are a little liar. Now go to your uptown penthouse and think about what you’ve done!
Perfect and exactly what I thought! Not being able to hire a photographer to follow you around the world doesn't mean you have a "tight budget". People on "tight budgets" usually drive a few hours IF they get to go on vacation, not travel the world dragging around multiple wedding dresses. And sorry, but if you spend 3 years taking the photos, they aren't really your "wedding" photos anymore. I'm assuming none of these were taken immediately before, during, or after the actual ceremony?
