Cornish Maine Wedding Photographer // Finding The Perfect Engagement Session Location

Choosing the ideal outdoor location for an engagement session is a crucial decision. As a wedding photographer, I understand the significance of both lighting and backdrop in creating stunning and memorable images. Let's delve into the two key factors to consider when selecting the perfect outdoor setting for an engagement session.

When scouting for the ideal location, one cannot overlook what this location looks like in the golden hour light. For me, Foss Mountain in New Hampshire stands out as an absolute gem. The golden hour light at this location is nothing short of breathtaking. With its 360° panoramic view of the mountains, Foss Mountain offers a picturesque backdrop that is unrivaled. As the sun begins to set, the entire landscape is bathed in a golden glow, creating an ethereal setting that is a dream to photograph.

My second favorite location, Kettle Cove, possesses its own unique charm, especially during sunset. The way the beach faces allows for the most stunning sunsets, casting a warm, glow over the entire scene. What adds to the allure of Kettle Cove is the diversity it offers. The wooden path surrounded by woods, the field with its tall grass, and the rocky beach all contribute to a rich tapestry of backdrops.

Selecting the perfect outdoor location for an engagement session involves careful consideration of lighting and backdrop. Foss Mountain and Kettle Cove, each in their own right, offer an abundance of natural beauty. Whether it's the sweeping mountain vistas as the sun dips below the horizon or the rugged coastline bathed in the warm glow of sunset, these locations provide the ideal canvas for your session.
