When you’re taking photos at a rustic location, dark neutrals are such a good choice.

The background of a rustic location is usually filled with lots of foliage and texture.  Lighter colors would wash out complexions.

I put together a mock up with dark neutrals (medium brown and shades of olive).  My accent color would be the dusty blue in a lighter and darker shade.  It all really works together!

The following family photos (taken at Casper’s Regional Park in San Juan Capistrano) have a very similar look, but the accent color is burgundy.
