Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! As a professional wedding photographer, I highly recommend considering a pre-wedding shoot before your big day. A pre-wedding shoot is a photo session that takes place before your wedding, typically a year or several months in advance. Here are some reasons why you should consider doing a pre-wedding shoot:
- Get comfortable in front of the camera
Not everyone is used to being in front of a camera, and it can be intimidating to have your picture taken all day long on your wedding day. A pre-wedding shoot gives you the opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera and work with your photographer to find poses and angles that work best for you. This can help you feel more relaxed and confident on your wedding day, resulting in better photos.
- Build a rapport with your photographer
A pre-wedding shoot also gives you the chance to get to know your photographer and build a rapport with them. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have, share your vision for your wedding photos, and get to know your photographer’s style and approach. This can help you feel more comfortable with your photographer on your wedding day and ensure that they capture the moments and details that matter most to you.
- Get photos in a different location
Your wedding venue may not offer the most picturesque backgrounds for your photos. A pre-wedding shoot gives you the opportunity to get photos in a different location, such as a park, beach, or other scenic location. This can add variety to your wedding photos and give you more options to choose from.
- Use the photos for save-the-date cards or invitations
If you’re planning to send out save-the-date cards or invitations, a pre-wedding shoot can provide you with beautiful photos to use for these purposes. This can add a personal touch to your invitations and give your guests a sneak peek of what’s to come on your wedding day.
In conclusion, a pre-wedding shoot is a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, build a rapport with your photographer, get photos in a different location, and use the photos for save-the-date cards or invitations. As a professional wedding photographer, I highly recommend considering a pre-wedding shoot to make the most of your wedding photography experience.
