By utilizing a photo shoot venue, you can uniquely capture beautiful moments in ways you may not have even considered. Unlike the conventional studio setting, a photo shoot venue allows you to infuse creativity into every photograph with different architectural elements that you can incorporate into your photos. If you suffer from being camera-shy – no worries! We’ve got you covered with our favorite photo ideas that you can use to get the most out of your photo shoot venue while capturing some unique, jaw-dropping photos along the way.
Stairs at your Photo Shoot Venue
While stairs may seem like a hindrance at first glance, they’re actually the perfect place to let loose and let your inner model shine. Stairs add dimension to your photos by adding in the element of height and length – making them the perfect place to let long dresses shine. They’re also the perfect spot to capture some authentic shots of loved ones cuddling up together.
Small Bodies of Water
Some of our favorite photos are those taken using the natural elements of the world. Water can be used as a beautiful backdrop to provide some movement or can be used to get candid, fun photos of couples splashing each other. We recommend saving water shots for the end of the day, so that you don’t risk having wet hair or clothing in other photos.
Nature’s Natural Beauties – Flowers & Trees
Flowers and trees add that perfect whimsical, feminine, and romantic touch that wedding/engagement photos need. Similar to stairs, trees add dimension to your photos by playing with height. Flowers not only make for beautiful backdrops, but they are also the perfect pop of color against neutral clothing. Just make sure you’re simply enjoying these natural beauties where they grow and not picking them out of the ground.
Doors & Archways
You may not consider doors/archways to add a lot to your photos, but you may be surprised how much these architectural elements can become your lifeline at photo shoots. Depending on the venue, doors can change up the scenery by acting as a backdrop However, our favorite way to use these elements in photos is as a natural frame for models to shine in!
