A lot of brides put unnecessary pressure on themselves by getting ready at home and then making a long drive to their ceremony. To add insult to injury, most suburban homes do not offer an ideal shooting environment for wedding photography. Finding a place close to the city or close to where ever you are getting married with nice open spaces and good locations for photography is a small investment which will reap many rewards.
This apartment in the city sleeps 7 and is available for short term rental. Consider that for less then $500 you can have a place for all of the bridesmaids and yourself to sleep before the wedding and a room for people to return to the night after the wedding. There is a good amount of secured visitor parking along with a lot of free street parking. Better still, just look at the view.
