So where are you getting married? It's always the most important question on a photographer's mind. The location determines everything. A gorgeous location ensures that your photographer will have a lot of great locations to work with. But, let's face it...most of the beautiful locations also come with an ugly price. So ask yourself this. Is your location a place that you would like a framed picture of? If not, then let us suggest something that may be the perfect answer.
Think about taking some extra time to travel to a different location to do your wedding day photo shoot. This doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice pictures of your venue... trust us you will get tons of pictures of the location through out the day. Changing location means that you are giving your photographer an opportunity to be creative and use the beautiful scenery to create a work of art instead of just trying to make it work. Of course you will need to plan for more time to do your photo shoot, but we always suggest that anyway.
It's always best to give your photographer the most opportunities to capture the images that really tell the beautiful story that is your wedding day.
So while planning, think of local parks, historic locations, farms, fields, etc that could be just perfect for your big day.
Tip: It's not easy for a photographer to tell their clients that a location is less than ideal. So you can ask, but understand that you will probably get a very safe answer.
