Photo lessons 7: Find wedding shoot locations in advance

Sticking with the subject of wedding photography, all good pros scout the location before the big day — preferably at the same time as the ceremony to find the best light and shooting locations in advance.
Even if the forecast is for fine weather it’s sensible to find alternative locations in case the sun is too strong, the wind whips up or a freak hailstorm starts.
Being prepared in this way will give you confidence, allowing you to concentrate on getting the composition, poses and exposure right.
You’ll also look much more professional than if you’re wandering around looking for a good location with the bride and groom trailing behind you.
