When it comes to couple photos, the where can be just as meaningful as the who.

The location sets the tone — it’s the backdrop for your connection, laughter, and story. Whether you love adventure or cozy simplicity, the perfect spot should feel like you.

Here’s how to choose a location that makes your couple photos truly unforgettable.

💛 1. Choose somewhere meaningful

Think about places that hold a piece of your story.Maybe it’s where you first met, your favourite picnic spot, or a weekend escape that feels like home.

Photos taken in meaningful places always carry an extra layer of emotion — because they’re tied to your real life.

🌿 2. Think about your vibe

Are you more barefoot-in-the-field or city-coffee-date energy?Here’s a few ideas to get you inspired:

Romantic & natural: open fields, forests, or mountain lookouts
Urban & moody: laneways, cafés, or heritage streets
Adventurous: waterfalls, farms, or hiking trails
Cozy & intimate: your home or backyard at sunset

Whatever your vibe, I’ll help find a location that feels right for you.

✨ 3. Follow the light

Golden hour is my favourite time to shoot — that soft, warm Bathurst glow makes every photo feel cinematic.

We’ll plan your session around the best light for your chosen spot — whether that’s sunrise, sunset, or a cozy overcast afternoon.

🕊 4. Don’t overthink it

You don’t need a “perfect” location. Some of my favourite sessions have been in the simplest spots — a quiet country road, a patch of tall grass, or even a backyard.

It’s never really about the location. It’s about you two, the connection, and how you make each other feel.

💌 5. Trust your photographer

If you’re not sure where to start, I’ve got you. I’ve built a list of stunning spots around Bathurst, Orange, Lithgow, and beyond — from hidden gems to dreamy open spaces.

Together, we’ll find a setting that matches your story, your energy, and your style.
