There are so many beautiful locations and ideas for wedding
pictures. Whether they places that are special to the couple, or a must-have
photo-op, wedding photos are truly once in a lifetime keepsake mementos that could
be shared for a lifetime. So it’s important to talk to your photographer and
plan an itinerary for the day, and make the most of your photoshoot! Here are
some tips that will make you clicker-happy:
Have a romantic walk down memory lane and discuss the places
that mean the most to the two of you. Maybe it’s the place you first kissed, or
where you first got engaged. Maybe it’s even a favorite café hangout! Think of
all the places you cherish and see if the location is able to accommodate the
happy newlyweds for a few snaps.
Ask your photographer about post-wedding photoshoots: This
could a month or so after the wedding where a few beauty shots or portraits
could be done with or without the groom. If you didn’t get that hand close-up
you wanted, or a scenic portrait of the two of you in front of the church,
schedule a portrait day where you have more time to plan out a full day of
photo fun.
On that note, when searching for a photographer, always see
what they specialize in and if it suits you and your partner’s vision. This is
especially important because every photographer has a signature look: if you
choose a photographer that specializes in boudoir photography but you want more
location shoots, then you must consider there may be limitations!
Think outside the box: garden shoots, historic sites and
church shoots are definitely must-haves, but what about in the centre of the
city, or even in the middle of the street? No, not that crazy! (And actually,
totally beautiful!) You can even DIY your own locations! Backyards are the
perfect private space to set up a fun for-two picnic, with streamers and even a
wedding piñata!
