LOVE/HATE: The Indoors Outdoors Edition

April 15, 2011 in Photography with 5 Comments

The recipe: A bride and a groom or a pair of brides and a pair of grooms plus a totally sweet couch plus a photogenic outdoor space and maybe a few cute side tables. Oh, and a wedding photographer.

Honestly, I kind of love it, but I also think it looks too staged. Because it is staged. And there’s nothing wrong with that, but I do wonder how couples will feel about outdoor couch wedding photos ten or twenty years from now. How about you? Would you designate someone to drag a couch out to your outdoor wedding venue or does the whole idea seem silly when you could just find a sweet wrought iron bench?

    Love! Sure it’s cutesy and staged, but what about weddings isn’t staged?? It’s a nice change from the ‘we’re standing posed by a tree’ look.

    I love it, but I also loved the opening on “Friends” with the outdoor couch.

    I think your are a bit strict with the theme. I see this style is fine. That can make a romantic story! It is not easy to be able to catch such a beautiful and genuine moment on camera. Thanks
