The past few years have gotten people to disconnect and embrace a simpler way of life surrounded in nature – often flocking out to national parks, camping sites, and of course, a warm and cozy cottage. One way to capture the essence of this nature and cottage vibe is through photography, and one way to one-up your cottage photos is with Cottagecore Lightroom presets!
What’s Cottagecore, you ask? Think everything that comes with spending a cozy weekend out in the wilderness at the cottage. An aesthetic that can transfer you to a dreamy, pastoral, wonderland. Anyone loves a warm cottage vibe – and that can most definitely be achieved in your photos with one-touch editing! Check out our curated list of the best Cottagecore Lightroom presets.
