When looking at the wedding venues Northamptonshire has to offer, keep in mind how you want the wedding photos to look.
Engagement Shoots
When thinking about what wedding venues Northamptonshire has to offer, don’t just focus on those that host ceremonies – what about a venue for an ‘Engagement Shoot’? The aim is to create intimate, personal and creative portraits of you and your partner that will serve as beautiful reminders of this exciting stage in your life as you embark on the journey of marriage together. As a couple, you need to decide what venue is right for you. It could be your home, a place you often visit together, or a place to a story, such as where you first met or got engaged. Try to keep in mind the aesthetic possibilities of each venue: do you want beautiful natural scenery, an urban backdrop, famous landmarks or something more quirky and unusual, like a fun fair? The choice is yours! Bear in mind the times you will be allowed in different venues as well, as late afternoon is usually the most flattering time to shoot. Whatever you decide, there are plenty of wedding venues Northamptonshire based to choose from.
The Morning of the Wedding
Photographing the bridal preparation is a great way to create a sense of story in your wedding photography, capturing the joy and excitement of the pre-wedding build-up. Many brides choose to get ready, along with a group of girl friends, at the wedding venue or in nearby hotels, which often have luxurious and spacious bridal suites that make the perfect photographic backdrop. If you do decide to get ready at home then choose a room that lets the photographer capture the best images possible. A room that’s big enough for the both the brides and bridesmaids’ preparations is ideal, as the photographer will be able to capture the happily shared moments between you. Try to find rooms that let lots of natural light in, as this is the most flattering.
The ceremony and reception
These are the most important photos of them all – the ones you will treasure forever. When looking at what wedding venues
Northamptonshire has on offer for ceremonies and receptions, keep each venue’s photographic potential in mind: Is there a lot of flattering natural light inside the venue? Are there any scenic spots, either indoors or out, that will provide nice backdrops for large group shots? Are there any unsightly areas that might detract from the photographs? Is there enough space for the photographer to work in? Out of all the wedding venues Northamptonshire has, you’ll be spoilt for choice!
