SETTING THE SCENE
After you’ve decided on the vibe/feel you want for your photos, it’s time to compile a list of possible locations for your engagement photoshoot session.
A couple of key things to keep in mind are:
- Consider using your venue. This is a great opportunity for your photographer to get familiar with your venue, it’ll match the theme of your wedding perfectly, and will serve as a test run for your actual wedding photos. A win-win-win!
- What about the actual location of your proposal? Sometimes a restaurant will allow you to photograph inside or do a re-enactment.
- Look up local gardens/parks OR use Google Maps to Explore possible urban locations. This one speaks for itself, of course you can drive around different possible locations too, but using google maps will help save you drive time and gas!
- Ask your photographer for recommendations. Chances are, your photographer knows a couple of really great locations that would fit your needs perfectly OR they have a location they’re dying to try out!
Asking for recommendations ensures that your photographer knows and loves the location you ultimately end up shooting at!
