This episode is specifically for the elopement photographers out there listening. You’ve probably shot elopements in the same location many times, and you know that place like the back of your hand, but what about the locations you’re less familiar with? How can you figure out the best location for your couple?
It’s so much more than just finding the right location. It’s about figuring out the parking, knowing when and where you will get the best lighting, alternative trails if one doesn’t work out, if it’s pet friendly or not, and more.
We are sharing our best tips for how to choose the ideal location for each of your couples, including the detailed research we do, going to the physical location, and the tools we’ve used in the process. We also delve into the importance of really understanding what your couple is looking for so you can align the location with their vision.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Why location scouting is important
- The online tools we use to help in the initial stages of location scouting
- Taking the time to actually visit the location and why this is so beneficial
- Giving your couples a questionnaire so you can truly understand their vision
- How we use technology to know the optimal lighting
- Things to do the day of the elopement to make it a seamless and enjoyable experience for your couples
