⚠️ What You Need to Know Before Booking a Wedding Photographer for Coronado Beach

Planning a beach wedding here is incredible—but there are a few important things many couples don’t realize:

📄 1. Your Photographer Must Be Licensed to Work in Coronado

Not all photographers are allowed to shoot commercially at Coronado Beach.

👉 A Coronado business license is required.

🛡️ 2. Your Photographer Must Have Insurance

This is a big one—and often overlooked.

Venues and city locations like Coronado typically require photographers to carry liability insurance. This protects:

• You

• Your guests

• The location

✅ 3. Work With Someone Who Is Already Approved

The easiest way to avoid stress?

Hire a photographer who already has:

• ✔ Coronado license

• ✔ Active insurance

• ✔ Experience shooting at the beach

👉 This ensures everything runs smoothly on your wedding day.

(For reference—I currently have both my Coronado license and insurance in place.)
