Here’s some tips to make the most of your pre-wedding photography.

1) Select a location that fits with your personality as a couple. It can be a park you frequent, a cafe or bar that you go to, a university campus, or even your own backyard.

2) When picking a location, it’s best if your location can offer a variety of different “backdrops” that are within close walking distance. This will help diversify your photos and provide inspiration for a wide variety of poses and different types of shots.

3) If you decide on an outside location, try to schedule your session during the “golden” hours - an hour after sunrise or an hour before sunset. These times of days provide a soft, warm light that is ideal for photos, especially romantic ones.

4) Wear something you’re comfortable in, and coordinate with your partner. Typically solids are preferred over prints - but make sure you look like yourself.

5) Have fun! Smile, kiss, hug, walk - pay more attention to your partner than to your photographer.
