Your wedding venue will have a huge impact on your wedding day. The wedding venue sets the scene, dictates the theme and will be the backdrop for your wedding photographs. From rustic barns to elegant country houses, here is how to make the most of your South West wedding venue…
Consider the Lighting Around the Venue
The lighting in and around your venue will impact how your pictures turn out. Generally, natural lighting is considered the best. If your venue has lots of windows, utilise the space for picture-perfect photos. In darker areas, create a romantic and cosy atmosphere with fairy lights and candles. Your photographer can capture some dramatic newlywed shots here, by shining a spotlight on you surrounded by twinkling candles.
Make Use of the Venue Grounds
Take advantage of the outdoor spaces surrounding your venue. Gardens, courtyards and terraces offer elegant natural backdrops flooded with natural light. An outdoor ceremony or cocktail hour can provide candid, relaxed photos of you and your guests. If you are blessed with a sunny day, embrace the golden hour by heading outside for romantic newlywed photographs as the sun sets.
Details and Decor
Your wedding decor can make your photographs pop and capturing them on camera paints a true picture of your wedding day. Choose decorations that complement and enhance your venue. Personalised touches and themed decor, will make your day unique. Remember, the finer details matter. Photographers often capture close-ups of rings, invitations, flowers and table settings to bring your photo album to life.
Focus on your South West wedding Venue
Unique architectural elements of your venue can add drama and elegance to your photos. Grand staircases, ornate doorways, and arched windows provide stunning frames for portraits and group shots. Discuss with your photographer how to incorporate these features creatively. Don’t be afraid to pose in these areas to create memorable and visually striking images.
Stick with the Season
Your chosen venue will change with the seasons. Each season offers unique advantages, from the first flowers of spring and the light nights of summer to the rich colours of autumn and the cosy atmosphere of indoor weddings in the winter. The time of year can influence where and when you have the majority of your photographs taken, too.
Create a Shot List
Giving your photographer a list of the photographs you want to capture ensures that no important moment is missed. Work with your photographer to create a list of must-have shots, including key moments and specific locations within your South West wedding venue. This list can include family portraits, the first look, the ceremony and the first dance. Having a plan helps the photographer capture all your special memories efficiently.
