Choosing the best engagement session location can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be!

As a Wedding Photographer based out of San Luis Obispo, California, I spend most of my days finding the best locations! This is why I have put together a list of things to look for when choosing where to get your engagement photos taken!

DON’T LET CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION TAKE AWAY FROM THE LOVE YOU SHARE

It is so easy to let the smallest things take away from the true meaning of things!

I mean, if you weren’t in love and getting married, then there would be no reason to have to decide on a location. Simply just try to focus on the reason you are there in the first place!

3 THINGS TO CONSIDER DOING WHEN CHOOSING AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION LOCATION

#1: HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION PHOTOGRAPHER

Did you know that most photographers spend hours scouting out different locations?

They know the area like the back of their hand! They want to help you pick a location that will match the vibe you are looking for. They also want to help you find somewhere that you are comfortable with!

THEY ARE AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO.

Don’t hesitate to ask them for help!

#2: MAKING A LIST OF AREAS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP

Every couple has locations that are important to you as a couple. These can be anything from places that have shaped your relationship or places that scream memories!

HERE IS A LIST OF PLACES THAT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT TO YOU

1. Where you first met
