Are U Ready For Your Pre Wedding Photo Shoots?

Pre-Wedding Couple shoot was unaware ten years ago. However, the young generation of today are more enthusiastic about getting a Pre-Wedding couple photo shoot done. A pre wedding photo shoot is a chance for the couple to get together with their wedding photographer in the run up to the big day, usually at a venue of their choice, and to have some portrait photos taken.
A Pre-Wedding shoot captures the Love-chemistry of a couple before the actual wedding. After the wedding, familiarity grows and the Love chemistry changes its colours. Obviously the couple grows more intimate. However, before the wedding, they share a different chemistry. Its more lovely and they feel and savor each other’s touch and glances more, almost like teenagers. A Pre-Wedding shoot captures those special feelings and emotions, which will soon be replaced by deeper intimacy and greater acquaintance.

Today, Pre Wedding Couple shoot has become almost a mandatory ritual for many couples. Couples scout for locations and themes for their shoot and want to make it one of the most special events of their wedding. Some couples want to recreate the scene of their courtship days. So they take their photographer to their favorite places, places where they have been on dates with each other or proposed to each other. Some couples want to get their first love letter photographed and preserved for the rest of their life. Some couples simply leave it on the photographer to unleash his creativity and capture their love in a candid way.

Most of the couples are a little anxious at an Engagement/Wedding photo shoot, as for many, it’s their first ever introduction to a Professional Photo shoot. One of the key reasons Pre-Wedding Photo shoot is done to relax the couple, so when it comes to their big day they know what to expect and photographers know what works best for them.

What is the purpose of a pre wedding photo shoot?
There are several reasons to book a photo shoot in the run up to the wedding and these are a few of them:
You have the chance to get to know your photographer so you are more comfortable spending a large portion of your wedding day with them.

You can talk to your photographer about your likes and dislikes and they can get an idea of how you work with the camera, and how subtle or intrusive they should be on your wedding day.
You can experience your photographer in action and make sure you have made the right choice before your wedding day. They should be doing their best to impress you during and after the pre wedding photos, and if they seem unreliable at this stage you might want to reconsider your choice for the wedding itself.
You can have some beautiful and natural images taken of you and your fiance looking like yourselves rather than like a bride and groom. Your pre wedding photos can be taken in a more casual setting than your wedding venue such as your home, a park, or the beach.

Pre wedding photo shoot tips
Here are three top tips on getting the most from your pre wedding photo shoot:

Pre wedding shoots are usually booked for a weekday as wedding photographers’ time is at a premium at weekends. Try to take at least an afternoon off work so you aren’t rushed and stressed trying to pull the shoot in during your lunch break.
Ask if you can have a disk of the images taken to use however you wish. The photos can then be used on your wedding invitations, your guest book, as a slide show at your reception, or as a large canvas print for your guests to sign.
See if you can have your pre wedding shoot at your wedding venue so the pictures are thematically linked to your wedding and you can use the time to seek out perfect photo locations and get to know the venue.
