YOUR PERSONALITY AND STYLE

Going against your personalities will make you uncomfortable during the shoot and the outcome of the picture would be disastrous.

CONCEPT

While choosing a location, do not forget the idea behind your concept. The concept for a landscape or natural shoot cannot work for a resort or a marketplace. Your concept has to align with the location. Your concept will help the photographer to decide the type of equipments or props to take along or use for the shoot.

VISIT THE LOCATION

You might have gotten to know about the location through a friend or by surfing the internet. It is very important to visit the location yourselves as a couple to see the real deal so that you won’t be disappointed on the day of the shoot. If possible, take your photographer along for him to attest if the location is right for the type of concept you have in mind.

DISCUSS WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

At the same time, you would build a cordial relationship with your photographer. Sometimes couple might be void of concept or location. The photographer would definitely come up with something nice and creative. Just trust him to create something magical.
