The St. Regis Resort in Dana Point is a location which,Orange County Photographers Look at Dana Point Wedding Location  Articles if shot correctly will contribute much to the creation of priceless wedding pictures.

For good reason, the location of choice on the resort for getting wedding bridal, bride and groom and party shots is the rotunda. The rotunda is a beautiful cone shaped room with an elegant stair case that wraps around the wall. There are plenty of windows to provide natural light. There are a number of poses and angles that photographers tend to employ in this location.

First is the overhead angle. The photographer will position the bride, bride and groom or party down on the floor of rotunda. The photographer then climbs the stairs and from various angles and points from the stare case that rounds up the wall will shoot the party. A photographer can add a variety shot by shooting between the curved metal railings. If done correctly, the subject will be clearly seen on the floor from a distance nicely framed between the staircase railings. Another variation is to put the bride with the piano that is located on the floor, either lying on the piano, or standing by it and shoot from above. The photographer can also add the groom and bridesmaids by positioning them at equal distances around the table and again shooting from above.

The photographer can then reverse the positions and have the party climb the stairwell while the photographer takes shots as they ascend. As the party moves up the stairwell, they will eventually reach the height at which the windows are placed. This is a good place for the photographer to have the group stop and take another shot as the window light provide terrific, soft highlights in the persons hair.

Outdoors there are a variety of locations in which to shoot. There is of course the beach. While there are not a lot of rocks on which to position the couple, there are wide stretches that have few patrons so a photographer can get beach shots without distracting persons in the background.

A skilled photographer can get great shots at any location. However, St Regis Resort, if shot correctly will contribute to the production of a beautiful wedding album.
