Hello friends! Today we’re talking all about your engagement! When it comes to doing your engagement and wedding photography, the location can make all the difference. Not only does it provide a beautiful backdrop for your photos, but your chosen location reflects both your and your partner’s personalities! With so many beautiful and unique places to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide where to have your EWP photos taken. So, here are some fabulous locations to consider:
Beaches: Beaches are a popular choice for these photos, and for good reason. The natural beauty of the ocean and sand provide a romantic and serene setting for your photos. With this setting, you can also choose to do the session both in and out of the water, making for some fun and memorable shots!
Mountains: Mountains provide a majestic and breathtaking backdrop for really any photos. The natural beauty of the mountains, forests, and rivers provide a serene and peaceful setting. Whether you’re from a mountain terrain or not, these can add the perfect backdrop to some awesome photography.
Vineyards: Vineyards provide a picturesque and romantic visual for your photos. The rolling hills, grapevines, and rustic buildings provide a romantic and beautiful backdrop for your photos. How sweet would a “cheers” photo be with the vineyard as the backdrop?
Urban Settings: Urban settings, such as cityscapes and downtown areas, provide a novel and contemporary backdrop for your first official photos of you as a couple. The architecture and city lights can create a dynamic and interesting facade. You can also make it unique to you by incorporating local shops that are sentimental, or even something as simple as a favorite food you enjoy as a couple.
Museums and Art Galleries: If you and your partner are art lovers, a museum or art gallery can provide a very special and interesting location for these photos. The architectural details and artworks themselves can provide a beautiful and inspiring background. This can be especially interesting if your photos reflect a favorite piece or something that showcases your story together.
Historic Sites: Historic sites such as castles, mansions, and forts provide a distinctive feel for your engagement and/or wedding images. The grandeur and beauty of the architecture and the surrounding landscape provide a timeless and elegant background for your photos, and you can be the centerpiece of the next part of history.
Parks and Gardens: Parks and gardens are a classic and timeless choice. The natural beauty of the greenery, flowers, and trees provides a picturesque setting for your photos. Popular options include botanical gardens, arboretums, and public parks. This can even be made more special if the area means something unique to you and your future spouse, or if you plan to get married there as well!
Zoos and Aquariums: Zoos and aquariums can provide a quirky and fun setting for your engagement and wedding photos. The natural beauty of the animals and the lush greenery provide a fun background for your photos and can provide once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to interact as animal lovers.
In conclusion, there are countless beautiful and unique places to choose from for your engagement and wedding photos. Whether you choose a classic and timeless location such as a park or garden, or a more unique and contemporary location such as a cityscape or historic site, the location can make all the difference in the memories you will cherish forever. Remember, the location should be special and meaningful to you and your partner, and should reflect both of your personalities and style!
