2. Think about locations
Once you’ve decided on the style of photographs you like, it’s time to start thinking about locations. If you’re having an outdoor ceremony, consider taking some photos in front of a beautiful scenic backdrop. Really put a lot of thought into the area of the location you choose to get married at. It’s not only important to make sure you have a suitable reception space for guests, but to choose a location that offers plenty of beautiful scenic backdrops!
If you’re having a more indoor affair, look for interesting architectural features that will add visual interest to your photos. Really pay attention to the lighting, envision yourself taking photos in the location, and see if you like the idea of having your portraits in that particular venue.
3. Soak up the experience
I believe that loving your photos for years and years is about more than just pretty photos. Because when you look back on your wedding photos, you are going to remember how you feel. HAVE FUN!
