Upcoming venue scouting trip – Hindu Temple of Florida – Tampa wedding photographer

Couples always compliment us on how creative our images are and how we can possibly always have such beautiful locations to photograph. They want to know what is our secret for consistently having fresh new ideas and great backgrounds for our images. Although a lot goes into creating great images, one of the key ingredients is: lots of preparation and scouting of locations. Sure, you could show up to a location an hour early but we prefer to scout locations months in advance and often more than once. Why? Because we feel that by visiting a location with plenty of time to walk around and find unique and beautiful backgrounds is worth it. We take test pictures and take notes about which location would work best for just the bride and groom or which spot is best suited for the larger group pictures. By scouting the location prior to the event, we already have some great ideas to share with the happy couple. The day of the wedding can be very fast paced and having already thought out where to take those special images is priceless and makes the photography flow a lot smoother. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we have already photographed many of the most popular wedding venues in Central Florida. But for those times when we will be photographing a venue for the first time, we definitely schedule time to scout that venue prior to the wedding day.

Below are images from one of those venues. In November, we will be photographing at the beautiful Hindu Temple of Florida,which is located in Tampa. Although the wedding there won’t be until November, we scheduled some time recently to scout this location. We were totally blown away by how beautiful this temple is. As we always do when we scout a location, we took many “test” shots to get ideas of what will be the best angles to photograph from and which locations will make for the best backdrop for some gorgeous and dramatic images. We loved these test shots so much that we have decided to publish them for everyone to enjoy.
