Urban Wedding Photo Location Ideas
Sometimes wedding photo locations can be very surprising, even just the Main Street of your town can provide for some awesome photos! Here we highlight some of the great urban locations in Indiana, PA to hopefully inspire your next photo session or give you some ideas if your wedding day doesn’t have a park and trees nearby.
We started our session on a rooftop with great views of downtown, but many times accessing these locations requires special permission and permitting, so if you spot a building in your own downtown with roof access, be sure to do your homework first and contact the building owner. Another thing to note is that there is no shade on a rooftop, so if you’re shooting in the middle of the say, prepare for sunny and harsh lighting.
Other great options are business facades with fun artwork, interesting architecture, or just historical significance to you! I’ve taken beautiful wedding portraits in front of bowling alleys, in college bars, and in front of abandoned buildings. If you’re willing to be creative and open minded, you can undoubtedly have unique portraits that won’t look like any one else’s!
These particular models had been married in a small, private ceremony at a local park previously, and as they were planning for a big wedding, life had different plans and they chose to do what felt right to them and just enjoy their married life together without a big party. We ended this super fun session with a few photos at the park where they got married at for sentimental value!
These types of urban sessions would also be great for anniversary photos or senior photos! Don’t be afraid to tell your photographer about locations that are special to you - almost any place can be photographed well!
