One of my favorite things to do on a wedding day is capturing the venue before everyone arrives. This photographic element is what I like to call "setting the stage". For lack of better terms, these photos remind a couple of the beautiful venue that they exchanged vows at and were forever changed. I tend to shoot these on film because I love structure and the organic feel of the texture of film paired with such beautiful buildings. When I curate a blog post, I often begin with a photo of the surrounding area or venue to give the viewer a feel for the day. Here is a collection of some of my favorite images that "set the stage" for some beautiful wedding days!
