Location Recommendations
(Wedding Venues and Engagement Shoot Locations)
One thing I believe a wedding photographer should always be able to do is recommend a good amount of local places that serve as a good venue. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of shooting at several dozen here locally. What follows is a list of my top wedding venue and engagement shoot location recommendations:

WEDDING INSPIRATION FOR YOU
Each year, I do one or two photoshoots just for me, to help channel my creativity and help me grow as a wedding photographer and creative director.
If you’ve ever heard of “Styled Shoots,” that’s what I’m talking about. If you’ve never heard of them, basically, they’re photo shoots that help brides get inspired when planning their wedding, and industry vendors to stretch their creative wings and have content to post. I listed out a few reasons below why I do them.
3 REASONS I DO STYLED SHOOTS
Here are just a few reasons:
Styled Shoots give me a chance to flex my creative muscles — on a regular wedding day, I don’t get much choice in wardrobe, location or other creative aspects like that. With a styled shoot, I plan every little detail from beginning to end.
Styled shoots give me opportunities to work with some of the best wedding vendors in the area, many of whom I’d otherwise never have a chance to work with. Many of these same individuals and companies are the ones that make it onto my Preferred Vendors list since I often work much closer with them leading up to the styled shoot than even other companies I work with just on the wedding day.
The images from styled shoots serve as INSPIRATION FOR YOU! GET INSPIRED!!!!
