When it comes to deciding on locations for Pre-Wedding/Engagement photos, here are a couple things to consider:
1) SCENERY
What kinds of sceneries do you and your partner get most excited about? Are you drawn to mountains, the ocean, a lake, or a waterfall?
2) MEMORABLE LOCATIONS
Are there any locations that are meaningful to you and your partner ? Are there any places you think you two would be more yourselves in?
Think about the places that bring you a sense of nostalgia and where you feel happiest.
3) ACCESSIBILITY
How accessible is the location? Are you okay with hiking/driving a distance to get there?
4) ACTIVITIES
Do you want to incorporate any activities into your session? I always recommend incorporating parts of your story with an activity of something you normally do together be part of your engagement session. i.e hiking your favourite trail, having a picnic, games etc. Use a prop; Are you both bookworms? Are you into Cars/Bike? Pet lovers? love sports? Incorporate your favorite book/car/bike/sport or you pet into your shot for a picture that is 100 percent you. It’s a great way to remember what you two love to do together at this time in your lives.
5) PRIVACY
How important is privacy to you? The more accessible locations tend to be busier, so scheduling your session on a weekday is great way to get more privacy at those locations.Ultimately, pick a location that you aligns with you and your partner’s relationship – a place where you can feel comfortable to be yourselves and have fun.
