Best Tips for a Perfect Vancouver Island Lakeside Camping Fire Couple Photoshoot:

For a Vancouver Island lakeside camping fire couple photoshoot, preparation is key. Firstly, the best locations are the ones that hold significant value to you and your relationships, but if nothing comes to mind, I have so many epic locations up my sleeve! A location that not only captures the island's natural beauty but also offers a sense of intimacy and seclusion is ideal. Secondly, consider timing your shoot during the golden hours of sunset or sunrise to achieve that soft, romantic glow. This can really enhance your photos! Lastly, don’t forget to bring essential items like cozy blankets, chairs, and s'mores to enhance the ambiance & experience.

As a photographer, I have learned how to pose people. However, my FAVOURITE shots are not posed. They are simply directed with the intention to bring out candid and authentic memories and emotions. One of my best tips is to HAVE FUN! Seriously! That's it. Enjoy the moments together. I will gently direct you and your partner to participate in building the fire together, start cooking smores, and maybe snuggle is, but really enjoying the moments is the best part and it really shows in the photos on the other end.
