plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

I posted last week on indoor engagement photo shoot ideas.  If only I would have thought of this then, except, there is no Ikea in town (sad trombone).  This couple shot their engagement photos in an Ikea.  I am absolutely in love with this idea because I love Ikea and I love the untraditional.  And, I know someone else who will probably appreciate the kitchen shot in this grouping.

Well, not so much a wedding day tip as much as it is just a tip (for your engagement photos).

So it’s cold here and in case you don’t believe me, take a look:

So, it would be no surprise that if you have your engagement photos scheduled between now and February/March, you probably would want to avoid the outdoors (that is, of course, if you’d rather bundle up in eighty-billion layers).  With Winter upon us, I wanted to offer up some ideas on great indoor locations for your engagement photos.

Option One: Your Home/Apartment

There a ton more ideas and options out there, but these are great places to start.  Maybe take pictures at home, where you both can feel comfortable and in your element.  Or, visit a local museum, like the City Museum here in town, where there are great architectural elements.  Even better (because I like good food), have pictures taken at your favorite restaurant.
