Year round weddings in Spain

The best wedding suppliers are super-busy during the actual wedding season so this styled vow renewal shoot in Spain’s Costa Tropical was actually filmed in DECEMBER!

With blue skies, sunshine and calm seas, proof if ever it were needed, that the microclimate of this part of southern Spain really does indeed average 320 days of sunshine a year and that year-round weddings are a possibility.

This styled shoot was filmed at pretty Marina del Este which has featured several times on UK TV programmes such as “A Place in The Sun” and “A New Life in The Sun”.

Create a Knockout Directory Listing

Since we launched Tie The Knot Wedding Directory, we have picked up many tips to help increase the SEO and website presence of our listed suppliers. These tips can help even if you are not in the wedding industry.

Utilise the space you are given

Many directories offer a full page to your business, so use it! A good guide to word count is a MINIMUM of 300 words. Many SEO experts have differing ideas on the ideal word count for Google to 'pick up' (and of course, their algorithms can change) but between 300 and 600 words is generally seen as good. These seem to be popular with Google, they like words!

Images

Check how many images you are allowed to have (Tie The Knot Wedding Directory offers up to 5 for each listing) . Make sure you add as many as you are allowed. We add a link to EACH of your images back to your listing, to help more people to find you.

A good idea is to use the name of your company in at least one of your images (s…

In truth I admire people who do their research and find the perfect fit for them.

So how do you start?....Over the years I have seen so many wedding photographers and wedding photography companies come and go, along with trends they provide to ensnare couples to become clients....Let's remember here, we are searching for a Photographer, a Professional, with experience and a proven track record of making people happy with the images of their special…
