Wedding in Venice - part 03

The Cons of getting married in Venice:

1. Too many tourists, hard to shoot in the most famous places without looking like you are just one in a million. Though this can be overcome if your photographer knows a few secret places.
2. Never be late if you are getting married in Venice. There are no cars, none. So if you are late you have to run or catch a boat but they are only allowed to go very slowly. Be warned if you catch the wrong boat or bus it can cost you hours.
3. Everything is already very expensive but if they see you wearing a wedding dress the price doubles.
4. The place is so full of tourist traps that your wallet is in constant danger but with a little intelligent exploration, like following Italians in to a restaurant you can find real treasures.

It's refined, beautiful, sad, and so impressive. One can see the strong Arabic influence and it is surprised by gardens and luxury.
