Somewhere that said yes
Two people and a photographer is not a production, and that is exactly why it usually goes unasked.
Most of the time nothing comes of it. Occasionally somebody is asked to stop halfway through, which is a poor way to spend an hour that was meant to be relaxed.
Asking is quick and it also tends to produce a better session, because a place that has agreed will often suggest where and when.
The other advantage of settling it beforehand is that it removes the low-level awkwardness of not being sure whether you are allowed to be doing this.
That awkwardness is visible in photographs, which is the practical reason it is worth removing.
The other thing worth knowing is that a quiet weekday morning is a different proposition from a weekend afternoon at the same place.
Venues that would decline at their busiest are frequently relaxed when nothing is happening, and the photographs are better for the emptiness anyway.
So the useful question is not only whether, but when.
Asked that way, a no often becomes a yes with a time attached.
Where nowhere obvious presents itself, the studio is worth considering rather than treated as the last resort.
It is private, nobody is watching, and for couples who find being photographed in public uncomfortable that removes the main obstacle.
A good number of these sessions end up there for exactly that reason and the results are better for it.
Getting ready
Ask wherever you want to shoot, even if it feels too small a thing to ask about. It usually improves the session as well as securing it.
Decide the location before the day rather than on it.
Wear what you actually wear. One change each is plenty.
Planning it
Where you would like this, and whether anyone has been asked.
Whether the studio appeals instead, which settles it entirely.
And how much direction you want.

No.
About an hour, deliberately.
Yes, if the light works.
Yes, and it is usually three or four questions. Tell us the kind of space and we will send them over so it can go in one message.
Ask them what they need and we will provide it. Venues asking for something in advance is normal rather than a problem.
For most sessions, yes, and it removes the permission question entirely. The studio is in Wadgaon Sheri.
Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.
If it helps, yes. Usually it is quicker for you to ask since it is your booking, and we will send you exactly what to ask.
Tell us as soon as you know either way. A confirmed fallback means a late no changes the location rather than the date.
Yes, and for newborn, maternity, portrait and most product work it is usually the simpler option.
Yes. Tell us what you have in mind and we will show you work that matches it rather than a general portfolio.
It takes a message, and it removes the one thing that makes these sessions awkward.
