This is one of my top elopement essentials. You need to hire an elopement photographer who knows your location.
Someone who has photographed there for years. Someone who has been there through every season, type of weather, and explored various areas of your location.
Why is this so important? Read more below.
Master of light: You need someone who knows how to work with the light in your chosen location. Hiring someone who has worked with your location before can ensure that they know the lighting to make sure your photos are authentic and beautiful.
Plan B and C: If your elopement photographer is an expert in your location, they’ll be able to provide you with a plan B and C in case your original plan falls through.
Weather: Weather in a State or National Park can turn quick. That’s why no matter how long you plan or how many backup plans you have, you may need to think on your feet. You’ll want someone there who knows where to go and how to shoot in any kind of weather in the park.
All the Best Spots: Hiring an elopement photographer who knows your location gives you the the most options for breathtaking spots. You need someone who has explored your location thoroughly so they know exactly where to go.
Stress-free Timeline: You’ll also need someone to guide you in your timeline. Hiring an elopement photographer that knows your location and how long it takes to get from place to place is crucial in creating the relaxed, stress-free timeline you want.
Avoid the Crowds: If your elopement photographer knows your location by heart then they’ll know where to go to keep you away from all the crowds.
Natural and Authentic: When your elopement photographer knows your location, there’s less stress which opens up for more authentic and natural moments for you. Find an elopement photographer who truly knows your location so you’ll feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera.
100% Present 100% of Your Elopement: That’s the goal, right? To fully embrace and enjoy this experience. Find someone who will preserve your elopement experience so you can be completely present the entire time.
Bottom line? It’s critical to find someone who is an expert in the location for your elopement.
My best advice in truly knowing if your elopement photographer is an expert in your elopement location? Find someone who has a love and respect for the location you want to elope in, they’ll know how to photograph it the best.
