Choosing a venue is often the first decision you make when planning your wedding. Below are some things to consider based on my experience as a wedding photographer.
Location affects so much about how your day is remembered, and this comes through in your wedding imagery. Choosing a venue for its beauty is a good starting point, but what if you considered what other layers of meaning could be added? (And which photographer could make the most of the space under the various different conditions that may arise on your big day).
So, if you’re unsure of where to start, start with what emotions you want to come through when you look back at your photos - because your venue will shape it. Then, have a look at , who have a directory where you can view all the best wedding venues in South Africa.
And if you’re still lost, drop me a message! I’ll more than happily offer some first hand advice based on what you’re looking for and the locations I’ve shot at.
