How to choose the location
In any engagement photo shootthe location is of prime importance. It will determine the kind of photos that will be created, the aesthetic of the whole photo shoot and the activities that will be permitted. Sometimes couples shoot in more than one engagement photo shoot locationwhen they want to create a story or have many special places they want included in the shoot. Like many Indian couples insist that it should be done in traditional settings and Indian wedding photographersalso have places they take couples to for getting the feel of say, forests or a village while in the city. Here are some handy tips to help you choose a location for the engagement photo shoot.
Choose your aesthetic
Your engagement photo shootlocationshould be something that matches with your aesthetic as a couple. Both of you have to sit together and determine the kind of place that you would prefer. You might want to shoot amidst a lot of greenery or you might want to go to the beach and have a photo shoot. If it is in your budget, you can even choose exotic locales for your photo shoot. Like many Indian wedding photographers suggest their clients living abroad to fly to India to have a very traditional shoot. Alternately you can choose a quaint coffee shop to have your shoot in. if you have a mood board your photographer can help you find the perfect spot.
It should be flexible
Now many locations are dreamy but there are many restrictions when you are having a photo shoot there. In India there are many heritage locations where you are not allowed to shoot in certain places or take pictures of specific things and many activities are also prohibited. Therefore try to choose a location that is flexible and there are no hard restrictions. While shooting the photographer and you may come up with new ideas and that time you wouldn’t like anybody to restrict you.
Check beforehand
A good way to ensure that your engagement photo shoot is exactly how you want it is to go and visit the location of the shoot beforehand. Dallas Indian wedding photographersmake sure to take the client to the location that they will shoot in since sometimes the place is not what they imagined it to be. Like a grassy meadow could have been mowed down or a café might have changed their décor, etc. Going to multiple places and checking them out also helps give you an idea about the location that would serve best. That way you get to choose the one which is perfect and the shoot goes smoothly.
Sentimental value
A good way to choose a location for the engagement shoot is to pick a place that has some emotional value for you as a couple. You could have it at the first place you both met or a go to food joint that you frequent. Some couples like to go back to their home towns.
