If you were to ask me for the top places for engagement photos, beach and castle likely come to mind first. But don’t forget about how unique and special woods can be- they provide a beautiful backdrop that is full of texture, pure natural elements, interesting features like trees and light rays coming through the forest canopy. Of course you can never go wrong with beach or castle too- beach provides a scenic view with the sand, waves and blue skies while castles bring an majestic atmosphere with their turrets and ivy! Ultimately when picking out a location for your engagement photos, pick one that best reflects your shared individualities as a couple.
