Bre's Location Ideas
The following are locations I am familiar with or have photographed at to help us choose a great spot for your photos. If I have blogged a session from one of these places, it will be linked. I will be adding more and more. Many of these locations can also be used for elopements & vow renewal ceremonies. All are easily searchable to see what they look like and feel free to ask if I have any photos to share, many I do! You do not have to use a location on this list - These are just suggestions.
