Tips for scouting with your wedding photographer

Alison Yin May 30, 2019

Today, we’re talking about scouting! One of the things we ALWAYS do with our clients is scout with them before their wedding. We scout ceremony and reception locations as well as all potential portrait spots for both couple’s and group photos. This is a key part of our process for a variety of reasons, but mostly, it allows us to go into a wedding day and maximize the amount of photo time we have with our couple because we know where everything is happening and have a firm plan in place.

In case this i Hi 👋🏽! Remember me?! I’ve taken a (much needed) break from social media so I’m popping in to say hey!  Consistency is definitely my number one problem when it comes to posting and when things like the election and coronavirus happen soc Wowowowowowowow!  We’re definitely still recovering from our whirlwind 72 hours in Florida for Jamie and Ryan’s incredible wedding but what a wedding it was!  Or rather, dance party.  You guys, there was SO.MUCH.DANCING.  I guess I should These two are getting hitched this weekend!  Pretty pumped to be in Florida for their wedding! 😎☀️ #alisonyinweddings Such a fun portrait session with Amber and Sean. They had a break between their ceremony and reception so we had plenty of time to stop off at a beautiful park to take some photos.
#alisonyinweddings One of my favorite frames from Amber and Sean’s wedding a couple of weeks ago.  Great light + color + framing + her smile = 👌🏽. We’ve lagged on doing story sneaks for our last few weddings but it’s no longer the holidays and it&rs
