Oakland Preservation Park Wedding // Kylie + Sophia

Tips for scouting with your wedding photographer
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.
