Throughout my career, countless clients have consistently asked me, “Should I have a pre-wedding shoot?” While everybody’s needs are different, I will almost always recommend a pre-wedding shoot, for these 5 reasons listed below.
Extra Time
Your wedding day maybe one of the busiest days of your life. You’ll have so many things happening, that you’ll barely have any time leftover to do your photo and video shoots. You won’t have any time to get those shots that you’ve dreamed of. And since you really want to use this day to celebrate your marriage with your friends and family, it really makes sense to spend an extra day to capture all those amazing wedding photos and videos. If you want amazing phots and videos, then you really need to spend extra time getting them.
Get to Know Your Photographer/Videographer Better.
One of the biggest reasons I recommend having a Pre-Wedding shoot is that it give you an opportunity to really get to know your photographer/videographer better. Meetings are important, but you don’t really know them until you work with them. You get to be more comfortable being directed by them and seeing that they know what they’re doing will put your mind at ease on the big day. It also allows your photographer and videographer to become more comfortable working with you. Alex from Bridalstory suggested that you should spend at least an hour to talk to your photographer to get on a same page. Tell them what’s your concern e.g. your double chin or you not confident being taken photo from lower angle.
More Amazing Locations
Your wedding will usually encompass one or two locations, but we all have so many locations that we wish we could be at for our wedding day. Well a pre-wedding shoot is just the opportunity to express the love that you two share, at your favourite and most memorable locations. This is a once in a lifetime experience, why limit it to one or two places?
Something to Show on Your Reception
The pre-wedding photos and videos are something you can show on your wedding day, as part of your reception. While you’ll always have many personal photos to show, none of them will be anything like the amazing professional photos and videos you’ll get from a wedding photographer and videographer. The video can be used as a presentation at your reception. As a way of telling your love story to all the guests at your wedding.
Once in A Lifetime Experience
At the end of the day this is a moment in your life that you will not repeat. This will be a once in a lifetime experience. And with a pre-wedding shoot, you can capture all those special moments from the start of your marriage so that you can relive them with your loved one for the rest of your life.
