The Adventure Bride’s Guide to Honeymoon Photo Sessions
Hey Adventure Brides!
Today I thought I’d go over a few tips when it comes to planning your honeymoon photo session, whether it’s an adventure destination or just a literal walk in the park!
Planning a honeymoon adventure photo session can be an exciting way to capture the joy and romance of your first days as newlyweds. Here’s what to expect in just five simple steps:

1. Choose Your Dream Location
- Select a destination that resonates with both of you. Whether it’s a serene beach, a lush forest, or a bustling cityscape, your chosen location will set the tone for your photos. Popular spots like the beaches of Hawaii, the mountains of Colorado, or the vineyards of Tuscany offer stunning backdrops for your honeymoon photos.
2. Book a Professional Photographer
- Find a photographer who specializes in adventure or destination photography (ahem…ME!) Look for someone whose style you love and who has experience capturing the essence of romantic getaways. Reach out early to ensure they’re available during your honeymoon dates and can travel to the location desired if they are not already locals!
3. Plan Your Outfits and Props

- Coordinate your outfits to match the setting and mood of your photo session. Think flowy dresses, casual beachwear, or elegant evening attire. Consider bringing props that tell your story, such as a picnic setup, travel journals, or even your wedding bouquet for a touch of nostalgia.
4. Schedule the Session
- Decide on the best time for your photo session. Golden hours, just after sunrise or before sunset, provide the most flattering light. Discuss the schedule with your photographer to ensure you get the best possible shots. Be prepared to be flexible with your plans in case of weather changes.
5. Enjoy the Experience
- Relax and have fun! Your honeymoon photo session is about celebrating your love and the start of your new life together. Trust your photographer’s guidance, be yourselves, and let your genuine emotions shine through. The best photos often come from candid, unscripted moments.
With these steps, you can expect a collection of beautiful, heartfelt images that perfectly capture the magic of your honeymoon adventure. These photos will serve as timeless memories of your special trip, celebrating the beginning of your journey together as a married couple.
