25 Pre Wedding Photographs and why you should consider a pre wedding session
Your wedding day is an extraordinary occasion, brimming with love, joy, and cherished moments that you and your partner will hold dear for a lifetime. It's right up there with other significant milestones, like the birth of your children or that adorable selfie you took on your very first date. And let's not forget the excitement of receiving the keys to your first place together. These memories are precious, and they deserve to be captured beautifully.
However, not everyone feels completely at ease in front of the camera. The mere thought of being photographed can sometimes be overwhelming, and that's perfectly okay. But when the photographs hold such importance, it might be a good idea to consider booking a pre-wedding shoot. This opportunity allows you to get a taste of what to expect on the big day, helping to calm any nerves and ensure that you feel comfortable and prepared.
So, let me tell you a bit about what typically happens during a pre-wedding shoot. Usually, we'll meet up for a coffee or perhaps even a refreshing beer and discuss the plans for your wedding face to face. Yes, just like the good old days! During this meeting, we'll get to know each other better and delve into the details of your special day.
Afterwards, we'll embark on a leisurely stroll, capturing delightful moments along the way. The shoot normally lasts about 45 minutes and takes place in different locations across London. I carefully select these locales to reflect your unique personalities, allowing your true essence to shine through in every photograph we capture. Some popular spots for pre-wedding shoots include Borough Market, Richmond Park, The Barbican Centre, Battersea Park and Leadenhall Market. In case the weather isn't cooperating, don't fret—I always have alternative indoor locations ready.
The pre-wedding shoot serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it helps build a strong bond and connection between us, ensuring that we work together seamlessly on your wedding day. Additionally, it gives you the chance to experience what it's like to be in front of the camera, providing valuable insight into what you can expect and helping to alleviate any apprehension. And as an added bonus, you'll receive a stunning collection of beautifully curated portraits, showcasing your love and excitement in the lead-up to your big day.
These photographs can be used in various ways. Some couples choose to feature them on their wedding websites, setting the tone for their celebration and giving guests a glimpse into their love story. Others may opt to print out a few favorites and strategically place them around their wedding venue, adding a personal touch to the decor. Another creative idea is to use them as table card numbers, allowing your guests to connect faces with names and generating a sense of familiarity and warmth.
Adding a pre-wedding shoot to your photography package is a wonderful way to break the ice, feel more relaxed, and ultimately focus on the main task at hand—getting hitched and celebrating this incredible milestone with your loved ones. If you feel like this experience could benefit you, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
