What is a Pre Wedding Shoot?

What is a Pre Wedding Shoot?

A pre wedding shoot means a planned photography for a couple that is about to be married in the near future. It usually takes place a few weeks to a year ahead of the wedding.

The concepthas won popularity because there is a lot of creative freedom in these shoots
when compared to classic Wedding Photography in Zirakpur. Couples typically have their pre wedding photography done by the same photographer who they book to shoot their wedding.

Pre wedding shoots are phenomenon fulled no doubt by the explosion of social media and
our growing exposure to styled shoots from around the world. Everybody wants a slice of
glam in their lives and these shoots give them just that!

A good time to have this shoot is soon after your engagement, so you can use the
photographs as a part of your wedding announcement. Which, why these sessions
are famously  known as ‘engagement shoots’ internationally.

Why should you have a pre wedding shoot?
Although it isn’t essential to have one at all, the importance of a Pre Wedding Shoot in Zirakpur
is far-reaching. For the bride and groom, a pre-wedding shoot is a great time to get
comfortable in front of the camera. The photographer can provide them tips on how to
look good in photographs during the course of the shoot. This experience can put you
at ease on the day of the marriage. Moreover, it is a chance to take a breather from the
hustle bustle of planning the wedding and spending some quality time together.
These photographs make your wedding announcement a lot more special.

The certain day of the wedding may see you running around between ceremonies and
attending to your guests. This may mean that you might not end up with lovey-dovey
photographs of yourself and your better half because your photographer has no control
over what you are doing. Too many brides are annoyed enough to not be able to smile
on their wedding. Couples don’t want to leave things to chance anymore.

Guidebooks will say that the shoot will help you support a friendship with the photographer
that will, in turn, result in better images from the wedding day, but we think that is a bit
of a stretch. A Professional Photographer in Zirakpur will do their best in any situation, unconcerned of your
relationship with them.

If you wanted a shoot before your wedding but could not fit one into your agenda,
you could consider a post-wedding shoot. A different advantage this has over a
pre wedding shoot is that you can wear your wedding attire again. A perfect way
to get some exciting couple portraits in that dress you spent a mini fortune on.

Tips for having a great shoot
Planning is important to get the most out of the process. Your photographer will most
likely begin by putting together a idea of action that is unique to you. You must discuss
what vibe/impression you want the pictures to convey. You will be offered suggestions
on how to dress for the shoot in a way that is the most complimentary for you. Most of
the time, we shoot early in the morning if we are shooting at locations inside cities as
it would get uncomfortably crowded otherwise.

Brainstorming with each other to pick a suitable location is a best idea. If you have
a special attachment to a specific location in your love story, the photographer should
try to create it into the concept of the shoot. Locations with visuals that add an element
of interest to the pictures also work well. You must provide your suggestions to the
photographer but it is their job is to envision what framing will look best.

On the day of the shoot, the photographer will guide you through the plan by helping
with posing.If you are shooting indoors or at a studio, you could bring in props that
you think can make the photographs look more fun. Don’t get carried away though
and keep in mind– less is more.

A shoot like this is generally wrapped up in a day, but if you want to travel to a special
location consider the extra days and cost involved. The addons will be travel and
accommodation for the photographer’s team. They may need to carry assistants and
will have some equipment with them.

After the shoot is done the photographer will get to work on the editing. This can take
considerable time depending on what the vision for the images is and how far that is
from what is in the camera. Good editing is one that does not ‘show’. Your excitement is understandable but please do not try to hurry the photographer!

Once you receive your photographs, share them. Post on social media, or maybe
get a wedding website and tag your photographer. The perfect way you can thank
them is by giving them credit.

Wrapping Up

Photoshoots get tiring really fast, even for those who do it every day. Make sure you are
spending your time wisely on the day of the shoot. Your photographer will guide you on
what is perfect, trust their experience! The result of a pre-wedding shoot considerably
depend on the couple themselves, how completely comfortable they are with each
other, and with being photographed.

Couples say that experience of shoot alone made it worth it for them, and that is clear
when we see them flowing through the day reliving their courtship. Think of it as a date,
one where you take a photographer along. All you need is a great attitude!
