FALL WEDDINGS: PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERT SHARES TOP PICTURESQUE SPOTS AND CREATIVE PHOTO TIPS

Photography Expert Shares Creative Tips & The Top National Destinations For Beautiful Fall Wedding Photos

With autumn starting on September 22nd, we are seeing the changing seasons bring about rich shades of scarlet, gold, and burnt orange. Fall is a stunning time for your wedding day, and with 35% of weddings taking place outdoors and 26.4 % of weddings taking place in the fall – many are gearing up for the big day during nature’s brilliant season!

“Fall weddings are some of the most memorable and colorful weddings that we see all year,” explains Dan Creviston of George Street Photo and Video. “There are so many natural elements in motion, photographers can get very creative with landscapes and backdrops and couples brighten their wedding with vibrant, foliage centerpieces, stunning seasonal dress colors, and bright floral arrangements,” he adds.

Dan can share some of the hottest fall wedding trends, provide expert tips for stunning fall wedding photography, and the top 10 national venues for breathtaking fall wedding shots.

DIY Tips for Stunning Fall Wedding Photography:

· Autumn foliage showcases its finest colors in the second week of October – shoot then!

· Photograph around sunrise and sunset for the best light and color.

· Photograph outdoors when your shadow is longer than you are, usually in the late afternoon.

· Don’t discount overcast days – colors are more saturated and shadows are softer.

· Get up close: A sweeping picture of a couple amongst the fall foliage is beautiful, but a close up of a couple under one tree works as well.

Top 10 National Venues for Picturesque Wedding Photos:

1. Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, Washington (for views of Capitol)

2. Beaver Chief Falls, Glacier National Park, Mont.

3. George Washington & Jefferson National Forest, Va./W.Va./Ky.

4. Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

5. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Nevada

6. Everett Road Covered Bridge, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio

7. Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Calif.

8. Freedom Trail, Boston National Historic Park, Mass.

9. Governors Island, N.Y. (for views of two forts)
