From Knee To Aisle: The Photographic Journey To Your Wedding Day

From Knee To Aisle: The Photographic Journey To Your Wedding Day

Also, engagement sessions are longer which gives us a great opportunity to get to know each other and for me to find your best looks. A photographer that just shows up to your wedding day having never photographed you (or even seen you before) may not get the photos that someone your experienced with will. I really think that having trust in your photographer to capture you from the best angles on your wedding day is vital to creating beautiful images.

To sum it up, proposals are a surprise. Engagements are planned.

How To Nail Your Wedding Proposal: Tips From A Photographer

I’ve heard too many stories of couples saying they wish they had booked a professional photographer to capture the fleeting moments of their proposal or wedding. Selfies afterwards are great but you need someone to capture the actual proposal in the best light and from the best angle. Not only am I going to do that for you, but I also have knowledge of which locations will best fit your vision and budget.

Know Your Photographer’s Style.

Know Your Photographer’s Style.

Before booking any photographer to photograph your family, engagement, or wedding, it’s important to know what their photography style is. I highly recommend you visit High Orbit Media’s online portfolio before booking so you know what to expect from your final images.

Best Beaches To Shoot At: Carmel River State Beach

Best Beaches To Shoot At: Carmel River State Beach

So without walking very far there are already two locations with great backdrops for your photos: Pacific Ocean and Carmel River. What makes this beach unique is not only the river, but also its proximity to the hiking trails at Carmel Meadows. The rugged beach also makes for dramatic proposal or engagement photos. You really can’t go wrong if you’re looking for incredible backgrounds for your images. Definitely worth the price of a photography permit.

The easily accessible beach is located right off Highway 1 on Jetty Rd. As soon as you turn onto Jetty Road you’ll want to slow down immediately because you are now in otter country (plus there’s speed humps). Moss Landing may in fact be the otter capital of the world. In fact, if you’re not sick of otters by the end of this blog I’ll be surprised.

Best Beaches To Shoot At: Lover's Point

Before I go any further I must state that at Lover’s Point there will always be a seagull or there will always be a squirrel. Now that that’s out of the way, this lovely half park, half beach is a top choice for photo sessions. Nestled between the Monterey Bay Aquarium and 17 Mile Drive, Lover’s Point is possibly Pacific Grove’s top attraction (although I’m sure some monarch butterflies will have a say about that).
