FIND A CONTACT
One of the main objectives at this stage, is to find a contact in that particular destination. This person needs to have a thorough knowledge of the area, as well as the logistical ins and outs of the permits perhaps needed for working and shooting.
It is possible that you have to 'work for them' for the job, as this may be the only legal way around the work-permit issue. This person could also be your assistant for the shoots, which would save you from flying your own assistant to the destination, which might cut into your profit line too much. They can also advise you on a good hotel that would not be too far from the wedding reception.
I suggest that you post on Facebook or Twitter that you are looking for an assistant in that location. Failing that, you’d have to do some scouting on the internet for a suitable individual. Searches would include photography studios or camera clubs (and the Societes' website! Ed).
