Destination wedding brides have a few options when selecting a photographer. One option is to select a photographer already in the area. Which may work well if you are traveling to an area where a guide/interpreter/photographer is necessary. A local photographer should know the area, what areas to avoid and when, and what the cool little spots are for getting the best pictures. They also may have photographed at your venue before, and built up a good rapport with the staff and the managers. This will work in your favor if something out of the ordinary is necessary. It should also help keep you and the photographer avoid getting in trouble for breaking the venues rules unknowingly.
Another benefit of using a local photography company is there will be minimal or no travel expenses added to the photography package. Sometimes minor travel expenses are unavoidable, such as when a ferry ride is required to get to the wedding location. A photographer who travels to your wedding location with you will require things like lodging, airfare possibly, and possibly a rental vehicle.
Local wedding vendors work together often, and are a good source of referrals. So ask the photographer who they would recommend for things like a wedding coordinator, a DJ, or the cake. Chances are they have a list of people or companies they recommend.
And a final reason you may want to consider using a local photographer is they should have resources where they can find a replacement person or gear if there is an emergency and the need arises
