Keep the route short
Choose one or two portrait locations near your venue, then plan a simple route. Long journeys can quickly eat into a wedding schedule. A doorway, a stretch of pavement or a sheltered courtyard may be all you need.
Look for calm within the city
Interesting light and texture are often more useful than a recognisable landmark. Look for open shade, pale stone, reflections and quiet corners. A place you can enjoy for a few minutes is more valuable than a busy backdrop you have to fight.
Check access before the day
A public-looking space may still have photography restrictions. Confirm access with the venue or landowner, especially for indoor locations or a larger setup. Keep a nearby alternative so one unavailable spot doesn’t upset the plan.
Make room for the unexpected
Traffic, crowds and weather can change the feel of a route. Build in a little breathing room and keep the plan adaptable. If a location is crowded, use a closer frame, move to a quieter corner, or return to the venue.
Stay connected to the celebration
Portraits can be a brief pause together before you return to your guests. Agree a comfortable amount of time in advance. The city gives you the setting; your connection gives the photographs their meaning.
