Top 5 Tips for Outdoor Wedding Photography
If you are feeling inspired by the outdoor wedding photos you just saw, here are some tips that you should keep in mind the next time you plan an outdoor wedding photography session.
- Carry a bug spray. Some outdoor locations, especially those in forests or near beaches, can have bugs, worms, or mosquitoes.
- Scout the location in advance. This will give you a fair idea about the spots that would be great for couple portraits.
- Make sure you have permits or required permissions if you are going to shoot on private land.
- Check the weather, and in case you are planning your session around the sunset or sunrise, stay updated with their timings.
- Be a responsible citizen and leave no trash behind.
