These amazing tips will help you make your ‘wedding album’ the best of their kind. And believe us this is something that you always need to make your beautiful love story everlasting.
So, let us get started!
1. Count on the photographer you have chosen
Always choose a pre-wedding photographer whose aesthetic and portfolio you admire, and believe that he can deliver the best. Imposing a certain style of photography that is not quite their personal aesthetic or different from the photographer’s personality may make your pre-wedding pictures look contrived. You will surely don’t want such photos in your wedding album.
2. Use the internet as a guide
But, do not replicate. There are plenty of factors that affect the way your photos will turn out so you can show your pre-wedding photoshoot professional some references and the mood you would like to convey. But, do not aim to mimic the exact expressions, settings, or poses. Ample of fantastic pictures you see online were shot probably unexpectedly or candidly. So, people just relax! Rely on your photographer and let the magic begin!
3. Comfort is everything
Physically, it can be anything right from your attire to makeup and hair to setting that make you feel and look beautiful. Your dress must allow you for a comfortable and easy movement. For this, you should consider the weather and the location. For instance, if you are a bride-to-be and planning to wear a bulky gown but the climatic conditions are hot and humid, then you should not choose it. In this particular condition, such dresses will only make your movement clumsy and sweat will ruin your entire look, especially makeup. A good and professional photographer will do everything and suggest the best to put you at ease.
4. Use of the ‘right’ light
To capture the dreamiest shots, you just need the best timings and the right lights. For instance, in the morning (before the sunlight gets harsh and hot), you can get pictures with an ethereal and ultra-soft feel. Similarly, for a ‘golden glow’ to get magical vibes, you must ask your photographer to take the pictures in the evening i.e. at least an hour before the sunset. For indoor shoots, always consider a place with larger windows to get natural sunlight streaming in.
5. Practice poses with your partner
While your pre-wedding photographer will be readily available to guide you, it will help you save ample time as well as frustration if you know what works the best for you and what does not! If you are an avid ‘selfie-taker’, then you might already know the best side or angles of your face for the most amazing pictures. You can also ask your partner to do practice the poses in front of the mirrors for the best pictures.
6. Smile, smile, and only smile
Again, unless you are gunning for some high fashion type photos, smiling during the photoshoot will bring a happy mood and a sparkle to your eyes. In addition to this, smiling and laughing will help you feel more relaxed and natural in the pictures.
Final Words
A Pre-wedding shoot is all about capturing the intimacy and love between the couples. So, do not hesitate to ask your photographer to suggest some ways of making your photoshoot more beautiful and memorable. Besides the right partner to capture the best moments, do as much as online research possible regarding the best location, poses, and look. And the most important, stay calm, relaxed, and smile to look your best in the pictures that you will love.
