there are a few things to think about when it comes to planning your romantic urban wedding photos.

Location

Cities are full of backdrops of all different kinds, London is no exception! Have a think about things that you love. Consider graffiti, galleries, museums, modern architecture, historic buildings, landmarks, bridges, iconic parks, underground platforms, tube/trains/buses and landscapes. There really is something for everyone! Speak to your photographer and they will give you help and advice. You may also need permission or permits for some places so definitely check it out in advance if you have a special place in mind.

Lighting

Do you want to make use of 'golden hour'. If so, plan around this time and figure out places where you'll have good light at this time. Maybe open spaces or parks, or alternatively you can use the shadows cast by buildings to have fun with the light. Again, your photographer will give you some advice on where to go based on your location.

Be Natural

There's a time and a place for posed photos and this ain't it! The two of you will be giddy with excitement in your new little marriage bubble, so have fun, get food, laugh and just be you! This way your photographer will capture you in all your gorgeousness and the photos will be stunning...*chef's kiss*!
