Open fields provide a minimalistic and serene backdrop that brings focus directly onto the couple and their connection. These vast, uninterrupted spaces eliminate distractions, creating clean compositions that feel calm and emotional.
Begin your session close to sunrise or sunset to make use of soft and flattering light. Scout fields with tall grasses, subtle rolling hills, or empty plains that let the couple stand out as the focal point. Encourage simple movements like walking slowly, holding hands, or dancing barefoot through the grass.
Use wide shots to emphasize the openness of the scene, and then move in for close ups that showcase emotion. Let the couple interact naturally and take breaks to enjoy the quiet. These in between moments often yield the most heartfelt photographs.
In editing, keep tones warm and colors gentle. Enhance the softness of the grass and the sky, while preserving the couple’s skin tones as natural and consistent.
Sessions in open fields provide a sense of breathing room and emotional clarity, resulting in portraits that are calm, honest, and beautiful.
