• Do we need a pre-wedding shoot?

But…..but…..but… Once you go through this article you will thank us later. Previously considered as a sign of luxury it is now an important checklist in your to-do lists. Here are the top 5 reasons that demonstrate the importance of pre-wedding shoots.

Bring Out The Chemistry Between Couples

Until the wedding, you and your partner rarely get any special moments to enhance the chemistry between you without being surrounded by a lot of people. You both get to know about each other. It is the most private event couples can arrange for themselves, creating a lifetime memory that is precious for you. These photoshoots capture those cuddle moments that often get lost in the preparation of a wedding, allowing you to show your affection towards your partner in a private environment.

Makes You Less Camera Shy

Pre-wedding shoots allow you to work with your photographer and your photographer will work with you closely. This will make you feel comfortable on your wedding day when all the cameras will be pointed at you. Furthermore, it will also inform your cameraman what kind of clicks you like the most. They will notice how you react at different poses and what makes you feel comfortable. When you realize they are all doing it for their living, you will be giving your “couple pose” during the wedding day in no time.

Test Multiple Looks

While you may have seen a model or actress and planning to wear your dress and style your hair accordingly things may appear different on different individuals. A pre-wedding shoot is a great opportunity for you to test what looks best on you.

When To Go For A Shoot?

How long you should do your shoot and when to book them depends on multiple factors like your wedding month and your photographer's schedule. Like if your wedding is in the summer you can book your shoot for 2,3 months also but if your wedding is between October to January and you want to hire the best photographer it is recommended you book them 8 to 9 months before or ASAP. 

And you should go for your shoot 5 to 6 weeks before the wedding. Usually, it's a time when couples feel pressure about their wedding day and you can enjoy a couple of hours with each other without any worry. It will make both of you even more excited for your wedding day.

Finalizing A Location

Talk about any specific location in your mind with your photographer. You can also choose a location where you have some personal significance like where you first met or your favorite date location to add some emotional touch to your shoot. 

In case, you don't have any particular location in mind opt for scenic backgrounds like parks or beaches or enhance the visual appearance. 

Tips For Choosing Outfits That Complement Each Other And The Location

• Opt for an outfit that coordinates in color and styling with each other rather than exactly matching.
• Choose an outfit that vibes with your location setting. For eg: For beach-side locations choose airy fabric.
• Choose a fabric color that enhances your tone. Avoid over-bright or distracting colors. 
• Wear clothes that not only fit well but also make you feel comfortable. Avoid over-tight or loose garments that may affect your pose.
• Wear minimal accessories to avoid overwhelming your outfit. Choose accessories that enhance your look without distracting the aesthetics.
• If you’re not sure about anything, consult your photographer. They will provide better insights to you and also suggest combinations that enhance your shot.
