Top 5 Places for Photographs in Morden

First up on most things to consider when taking or getting photos done is location. There are lots of beautiful locations for pictures in Morden to help with whatever look you’re trying to get. Popular locations and ones that I personally enjoy are:

Bella’s Castle

I’ve got an entire VENUE PAGE detailing what Bella’s Castle has to offer. Trees, sun, shade, fountains, and a huge variety of locations make this great for all kinds of photography. Weddings, family photos, and engagement sessions can all look amazing with the right photographer here. If you’re a Morden photographer, chances are you’ve shot here and been able to create something special. Make sure to contact them for more details and information about photos. Their website is http://www.bellascastle.com.

The Morden Sign

There are many ways to incorporate this sign into your photographs. My favourite way was to use it at a recent wedding to silhouette a wedding couple. The wedding was taking place at Best Western Plus right next to this sign. I took the couple away just as the sun was going down, set the camera to a narrow aperture and placed them in line with the sun to create the silhouette.

I created a separate blog post about how I created this image HERE if you’re interested!

Livingston Park

If you catch this park at the right time in the fall, the colours are amazing. With lots of trees, there is a nice amount of shade for soft, even lighting. There are also a few sitting locations for some more posed shots if that’s what you need. Depending on time of year and your adventure level, there is a river that can make for a nice backdrop as well.

The entrance to Livingston Park is on Parkhill Drive just east of Hwy 432 past the bridge.

Downtown Stephen Street during Corn & Apple

With all the bright lights and excitement during Corn & Apple, the opportunity for unique photos is there. A Morden photographer will have all kinds of ways to be creative with all the bright lights and action. Keeping in mind to not be in the way of everybody, find a nice location and set up a silhouette shot by firing a flash behind your subjects.

Another option is to capture the cool light effects of the rides themselves. Add in some off camera flash and bring in some people for a different style.

The Research Station

A classic spot for photographs in Morden is at the Research Station. Depending on time of year, you can get quite a variety of shots across the property. In fall, expect lots of incredible colours and leaves everywhere. In summer, try for an evening shoot as the harsh mid day sun can make it difficult to find a shaded spot if you’re only using natural light.
