Secrets for a bride and groom looking at wedding photographers and wedding venues. Many brides and grooms do not know where they want to hold their wedding at first, and come to a planner undecided. I often get asked the question by these young couples looking to get married, whether or not the wedding venue makes a difference to the wedding photographs. There is no simple answer to this question – it is actually yes and no.

My job as a Johannesburg wedding photographer has given me the chance to see many breathtakingly beautiful wedding venues in Johannesburg and area. It is for that reason that I say ‘yes’ to the above question, because obviously a beautiful wedding venue such as the many wedding venues in Muldersdrift such as Oakfield Farm, Glenburn Lodge, Avianto, Moon and Sixpence and Gardenworld? offer beautiful landscapes, gardens, and other settings for unique and treasured wedding photos.

My wedding venue was at a place called Glencove (a part of Glenburn Lodge), and it was absolutely lovely. (and, even after all this time, I still do – as always, I’m such a sentimental old fool…) simply because everything – the gardens, the chapel, & the entire setting – is incredibly intimate & romantic . . ..

I really truly like it!! My husband and I posing on a bridge crossing a river is one of my favorite wedding photographs and has incredible lighting. It is the perfect setting for the perfect wedding photograph and it completely captured the moment.

Having said that, I think any photo where my husband & I are looking into each other’s eyes would be special to me, regardless of the background or the lighting or the setting. Regarding the question “do wedding venues make a difference to the photographs?”, I say “they don’t.”

Well yes, but also because a qualified photographer is usually able to use the setting to your advantage and take lovely, unique photographs. The setting of the wedding should not determine the quality of the photos taken by a professional wedding photographer.

You can capture beautiful photographic images even at the simplest of locations. Likewise for a super-contemporary and seemingly ‘unromantic’ venue… Obviously, depending on your photographer and which style of pictures you favor, a lot of photographs can be very ordinary so make sure to select your wedding photographer and the wedding venue carefully.

I always recommend that you choose a venue based on how it feels to you. Choose one that resonates with you, one that you feel comfortable in. Choose a place that you really love, no logical reason necessary. Choose your venue because it appeals to and feels right for you. When you feel good, you look good – and your photographs will show it. You’ll be able to shine in your own unique way and look beautiful as a a married couple.

The most happiest time ever of being a woman is her wedding day,and photos are one of the best things to cherish forever.!
