WHAT IS A PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY?

Well, pre-wedding photography is quite a new trend. There was a time when before wedding the only shoot which took place was of engagement ceremonies that too was not done formally by a professional photographer, sometimes engagement pictures were clicked by some family member himself. But now with the advent of various styles and techniques of photography, pre-wedding photography is also introduced to the couples. Nothing has spread more like wildfire in wedding photography than pre-wedding photography. A trend that is only seeing the upward curve since its inception.

Gone are the days of those shy brides and the bewildered grooms, this is the era of knowing and owning your partner completely be it a love marriage or the one which is arranged, and nothing could be better than pre-wedding photography. Pre-wedding photography is shot before wedding in some prime location giving that some theme depending upon the mood, emotions and likings of the couple. Pre-wedding shoot gives couple a privilege to know each other in a better way. It allows couple to wear nice outfits, picking their favorite poses and locations freely without any interruption as this shoot is only meant for the couple. This is absolutely there time win each other for the life time.

WHY PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IS IMPORTANT?

Your wedding and no pre-wedding shoot… I can’t believe it. Nobody in fact would believe it, pre-wedding shoot is kinda mandatory shoot these days, how can one ignore the fun it has in itself. Pre-wedding shoots help to build the confidence in the couples for the final wedding photography. Pre-wedding shoot is a newest trend in the field of photography and the best one and is growing as it brings two people even closer. They get the opportunity to know each other. If the couple is absolutely new to each- other than pre-wedding shoot is best, it will help them know each other. On the day of their wedding if they are asked to hold hand they might feel shy or be surprised but because of this pre-wedding shoot they have that bond, they know each other at least a bit about each other unlike couples a decade ago.

Also, the most important benefit of pre-wedding shoot is if the same photographer is going to shoot you for your final wedding then he would be able to know you better and will be at ease with you on your wedding day. He will have the opportunity to learn about both of you and it will help him work even better to give you the best photographs finally. That comfort between you and your photographer is sort of mandatory for him to produce the best work for you. Surely, you will also not forget to recommend him for your friend’s wedding, this is how it works…

HOW IS PRE-WEDDING SHOOT DIFFERENT FROM ENGAGEMENT SHOOT?

Don’t confuse pre-wedding shoots with your engagement shoots, both the shoots thought take place before the wedding itself. Still there is huge difference between the two. Engagement shoot more often than not, is done in one place, amidst lot many or few guests, couples wearing fancy outfits, in such shoots couples are not alone and most of the time it might be their second meeting since their wedding arranged, engagement shoots are more of a formal shoots off course your photographer will instruct you for few poses and if not then still it is formal in many ways.

Conversely, pre-wedding shoot mostly take place in some other location (International Locations for Pre Wedding Shoot), couples have chance to wear different clothes, not necessarily the shoot will be over in a day, it takes time as per the requirement by that time couples are comfortable with each other, they know each other well, it is very much informal shoot to bring two people closer and let them know each other for the life time. Wonderful memories for the lifetime to cherish and talk about even many years later.

In engagement shoot you still feel shy to give your suggestions in front of family and relatives but in pre-wedding shoot you always have that prerogative to tell your wishes too.
