Forests provide a mystical and serene backdrop for couple sessions, where dappled light, towering trees, and quiet paths create an enchanting atmosphere. The interplay between shadows and sunlight adds a layer of depth that enhances storytelling.
Plan your shoot during early morning or late afternoon when light filters softly through the trees. Encourage the couple to walk slowly along the trails, touch the tree trunks, or stop to share a quiet embrace. Capture candid interactions that feel connected to the environment.
Use natural framing by shooting through branches or leaves. This adds dimension and context to each shot. Wide compositions can showcase the grandeur of the forest, while close ups highlight intimacy.
In editing, enhance greens and earthy tones subtly while keeping the natural textures of bark, leaves, and skin intact. Avoid oversaturation to preserve the magical quality.
Forest sessions combine romance with mystery, resulting in galleries that feel like chapters of a fairytale.
