Why it's so important to choose a good location for your photoshoot!
Hey!
Long time no talk- I admit!
But here’s a topic that is so important, you don’t want to miss!
One of the most important things on your engagement shoot or wedding day is the location- obviously. You’d think this was a normal thing to think about, but you’d be surprised how many couples i’ve come across and they are so in love they don’t care where their wedding or engagement shoot happens. This is why this is a bad thing:
Most likely, you’re going to look at those photos later and cringe at the chaos in the background. This day is about you, and even your environment should allow the viewer to focus on you. You don’t want there to be a competition for attention.
Your environment actually will help you take better photos in front of the camera. I know this sounds silly, but people become inspired when they’re around a lake, river, forest, beautiful architecture, or garden. They start to interact with the environment and this makes the photos come alive.
Your environment can make your photoshoot a unique one. Our goal here is to separate you and your fiancé from the rest. Yes, we can do this with just the two of you, but both of our jobs become easier when the location is also unique.
This is a chance to display your love in your favorite place! Take a second and think about it- what is your favorite place in the world? Got it? Okay well let’s go shoot there.
So- let’s talk locations. What are the best locations to shoot in? As a photographer, my main goal is to get you in your element. The more comfortable you feel, the better photos you’ll take. What’s a significant location to the two of you? What is your favorite place to travel? Where do you both know the ins and outs really well?
Of course, I always have my favorite locations to shoot in my back pocket if anything fails.
What are you waiting for?
Til next time,
