San Diego Temple Wedding Photography, LDS Weddings

Great San Diego Temple Wedding Photography on A Budget 

Looking for the right San Diego Temple wedding photographer? If you frequent this temple, you know what a magnificent building it is. Even the architecture emits a heavenly feeling. At IDM Photos we often receive requests (online) from LDS couples concerning the San Diego Temple. We also get questions from non-member family, and friends about what goes on inside. Once they hear that this is a sacred place, that here a man, and women are joined together for time, and all eternity, and that it is done with a sacred commitment between the couple, and God, they are fine with waiting for you. Out of all the Temples I shoot at (San Diego Temple, Newport Beach, Los Angeles, and Redlands Temples) I find San Diego the most aw inspiring.

It is rare that active LDS couples would want anything less than a temple marriage. With such a binding commitment, most brides also desire quality, artistic photography to reflect the feelings of their special day. The following is information to make your wedding photography session great.
 

Your Temple Wedding Photographer
  • Pick a professional wedding photographer that you feel comfortable working with 
  • Make sure he/she knows the time, and what exit you will be coming out of.
  • Make sure to discus what style photos you like. Give your photographer a list of shots you want. I ask my clients to go one step farther, and give me pictures of artistic shots they like.
  • If your photographer is not LDS, then ask them to wear clothing appropriate for an LDS wedding. I know of photographers shooting at the temple in shorts and a tee shirt.
  • Make sure you have a clear understanding of the wedding photographers price, and exactly what you will be getting for that charge. Ask about copyrights, DVD discs with all images being in full resolution. Does the price your paying include photo editing. How many prints are included in your package.



Price VS Quality

Paying more money for wedding photography does not mean you get a better job. Check out multiple photographers work. Then compare their price before you make a financial commitment. Do they offer a price you are comfortable with? Are you feeling pressure to go beyond your budget? If so they are not the right pick for you. IDM Photos starts under $500. This includes two hours photography at the San Diego Temple. They also include Editing, A full resolution DVD, copyrights, and a print package. Their are other photographers that charge couples over $1,000 without including copyrights, or prints. If you are on a budget, as many LDS couples are, it really pays to shop around. You can get creative, professional work for an affordable price.

Booking a temple wedding photographer
 
should be done four to six months in advance. You may get lucky and get the photographer you want with less advance notice. Our experience is many of the most popular spring, and summer dates start filling up six months prior. We have had as many as four requests for some June through September weekend dates.

  2. Budget obviously comes first when a wedding has to be planned. Even the rental spaces for parties and catering services are finalized according to the prices we agree to pay. Dishes ordered can be decreased depending on prices. Some cost cutting in decoration can be easily managed. Then comes the drinks and musical activities.
