One of the best portrait locations I have ever been to.
So I want to talk about a wonderful portrait location I have been able to shoot at. I found this location a couple of years ago and havent shot there much until recently. But Lafayette village is amazing. Situated on the outskirts of Raleigh. This little European village is perfect for photo sessions. I have been twice just in the last month.
One of the best times I have found to go is just before sunset. Like the photograph above. This is what I got. Something about the way the light bounces off of the walls in the village makes magic with portraits.
However the real magic happens when the lights come on. Shortly after the sun goes down. It turns into a different world. Like the photograph below. The lights make a huge difference. Soft amber glow from the overhead lights looks amazing.
The devil in the details, This would be a fantastic place for a bridal or engagement session. Likewise any portrait session would benefit from this location. After the session a walk around will reveal some amazing shops and restaurants. Perfect for a date night too.
