Tips For Your Pre-Wedding Photo Session

By Don Wong


These days you'll notice that wedding photography has progressed far beyond the usual stiffly posed images of a bride and groom in their wedding dress, while wearing fading smiles. When you ask a creative wedding photographer what they want to highlight when it comes to these images, specifically those who specialize in journalistic style pictures, they'll tell you that emotions, natural gestures and the unique traits of the couple are the common answer. There was a time when wedding photographs were usually compiled into photo albums and kept in boxes that carry memorabilia people only look at every once in a while. These days however, wedding photos can now be considered art pieces and may even be worthy of being displayed as art pieces in a gallery.

Wedding photography packages often include an option for a pre-nup photo shoot. This usually gives the couple creative freedom in terms of themes, costumes, props, and settings. A wedding photographer then puts together the couple's love story in the form of a series of images that capture their personalities.

How a pre-nup photo shoot goes is often dependent on couple's preferences. The ultimate concern a Creative wedding photographer has to address is to present the couple's personalities and the story of their union in these pictures. A number of rather imaginative pre-wedding photos have captured the Internet by storm and have become widely known mainly due to how well the couple's personalities were portrayed in these photographs and how unique these images were.

First, embrace your unique personality. One of the most shared pre- wedding photographs on the net was a beautifully done zombie-themed pre-nuptial shoot. The pre-wedding photographer captivated a serene picnic scene with the soon-to-be bride and groom before they got rudely invaded by a brain-craving zombie. The photos got featured in international news sites and everybody admired their creativity and sense of fun.

Next, you need to be creative with your choices of props, costumes and settings. For example, if you want to go goth, you can choose to have your shoot at a cemetery or in a dark church. If you're like most couples though, you can choose fun or elegant settings for your pre-wedding photos, like gardens, beaches and parks.

How well a pre-nup photo shoot goes often depends on the skills and the resources that your pre-wedding photographer have. The click of the camera in the right hands can create amazing images of you and your better half which can definitely be something you and your family can enjoy for a long time.
