The pre-wedding service, also known as a pre-wedding shoot, is one of the most beloved trends among modern couples. But what makes it so special? In this article, you’ll discover why to have a pre-wedding photo shoot, how to prepare for it best, and how to choose the perfect outfit based on the theme.
Why Have a Pre-Wedding Service?
- To break the ice with the photographer
The pre-wedding service is an excellent opportunity to get in sync with the photographer. You’ll feel more comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day. - To tell your story
Every couple has a unique story. The pre-wedding shoot allows you to tell it through authentic and personal images. - To use the photos creatively
The images from the pre-wedding service can be used for invitations, the wedding website, guestbook, or simply to have a special memory to frame.
How to Organize a Pre-Wedding Service
- Choose a meaningful location
Whether it’s the place of your first date, a landscape you love, or a symbolic destination, the location will give a strong emotional impact to the shoot. - Define the mood
Romantic, wild, urban, minimal: agree with the photographer on the mood that reflects your couple style. - Choose the right time
The “golden hour, just before sunset or just after” dawn, offers a soft and warm light perfect for photographs.
How to Dress for a Pre-Wedding Shoot
The clothing should be consistent with the theme and location. Here are some tips:
- Romantic mood: long dresses, light fabrics like chiffon or linen, pastel colors. Him with a light shirt, maybe with suspenders or a soft blazer.
- Urban & modern: minimal outfits, monochromatic or in neutral palette. Jeans and jacket for him, sheath dress or suits for her.
- Wild & adventurous: earthy colors, boots, oversized sweaters, leather or shearling jackets. Wind-blown hair and a natural style.
