So one of our photographers (Kevan, of Kevan and Duane from 6:8 Photography) emailed me the other day, to ask me about our plans for photography for the wedding day. He wanted to suggest a location that was spectacular, but needed ~ 35 minutes (and a 4x4) to reach. The pros were... amazing photos, totally different from our engagement pictures, oh, and did I mention spectacular shots?? The cons were... took a bit of time to drive to, which would cut back on the number of shots we got in Fernie, and we needed a 4x4 to get there. BUT, to these I would argue, Fernie is cute and all, but let's face it, we are there for the mountains, not the 1 street downtown. We got our engagement pics done all urban-ed up, so we really aren't concerned about getting any skyscrapers in our pictures (of course there aren't any anyways in Fernie). And is a 4x4 trek on your wedding day ever a con?? I say heck-no, let's crack a road-pop while we're at it!! (PS... road poppin in Western Canada is totally legit, although never legal!!)

Not bad right?? The only thing I posed to Kevan was my deep, undying love of wheat, and all things grass/fields/meadows... and he assured me that we would get our meadow shots!! He suggested we set-up our 'first-look' shots in a field (since we are doing our photos before the ceremony), and then go from there.
So, what do you all think?? Is the 30 minute drive worth it?? I think the beauty of the location speaks for itself, and since we have allotted a very generous 3 hours for photos, I think we should be ok... but would love to hear your thoughts on this one!! help!!

Absolutely! Do it! No question at all, with such amazing scenery your photos will be so spectacular! Totally worth the 30 minute drive.
ReplyDelete30 minutes is 1 hour total of your 3 hour photo session after the wedding. I used 68 photography as well and would recommend a full 3 hours of pictures with them.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous... thanks for your perspective! Would love a little bit more info from you considering your experience... How much time did you have for photos? Did you do photos before/after your ceremony? Did you use multiple locations for your photos or stick to one? Thanks for any additional tips :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know what road-poppin is...???
ReplyDeleteI like that you guys are doing the pictures ahead of the ceremony and stuff - AND I like that you are interested in going to other places for pictures as I am interested in doing the same thing. See, we will be getting married ON The mountain, therefore, no pics WITH the pretty mountain in the background. I love it. You gotta do it - it'll make for a rockin' "road-poppin" adventure!
