Marbella Country Club is an Orange County wedding location that, if shot properly can produce some unique and memorable wedding collections.
Next to the photographer, the wedding location is the most important factor for obtaining an excellent wedding photography collection. Marbella Country Club, located in Orange County's San Juan Capistrano, if shot correctly can produce unique and memorable wedding shots.
At the entrance of the Country Club there is a sign with the locations name. A photographer should take
a picture of the sign for the event he will later wish to use the shot as an opening page of a wedding album. The picture of a sign introduces the album viewer to the wedding location and is a logical way to begin.
In the reception area, there is a rounded double directional stairwell. This is an excellent spot to take group pictures. The large stairwell has a stately look to it and it can fit 40 or 50 people. The stairs are nicely spaced by length and height so that the subjects are usually not blocking each other when they line up. The photographer should, however, get close enough so that only the stairwell is in view. Often there are a number of people eating or walking on the plaza above the stairwell. These persons will create a distraction if they are captured in the shot.
The actual ceremony takes place on a large grassy area. While there is some shade, it is limited. The photographer should plan on many of the shots that cover the entire wedding ceremony party to be in direct sunlight - which is often not conducive to flattering lighting. He should plan on taking small groups aside and shooting them in the shade. Because of the relative lack of shade, the time of day of the wedding will have a profound impact on the quality of wedding portraits obtained.
The indoor reception areas does not have a lot of windows; hence, natural lighting is difficult to come by. The party should get all of the natural lighting shots they desire outside before heading inside for the reception.
The Marbella Country Club in Orange County California is a beautiful location with much photojournalistic potential. The lush green grass and shrubs, Mediterranean style , and beautiful indoor decor provide some great raw materials for a photographer to exploit in the pursuit of a fantastic wedding photography collection.
