1. The photographer is the storyteller of your love.
Whether it’s classic, whimsical, or moody, look for a photographer whose style resonates with you. Browse their portfolio, discuss your vision, and clarify what you seek through this photoshoot. A great rapport will make your shoot fun and natural.
2. Pick the perfect backdrop and set the mood!
The theme and location of your pre-wedding photoshoot must reflect your personality and relationship. Be it a romantic beach shoot, a regal palace setting, or even a cozy coffee date - choose a location that suits the vibe of your story. When in doubt, leave it to your photographer to suggest spots that complement your theme.

3. The golden rule: coordinated outfits
Plan your outfits wisely for the photoshoot. The outfits should be aligned with your theme and make you feel confident yet comfortable. Avoid patterns that might distract from your expressions. Remember to carry extra outfits for variety and fun wardrobe changes!
4. Get the timing right!
Scheduling your shoot at the right time is the key to getting the desired clicks you never know you will need. For instance, the golden hour (sunrise or sunset) offers the best natural lighting for breathtaking photos. If you are shooting outdoors, take care to avoid the harsh midday sun unless you need some dramatic high-contrast look.
5. You need some TLC before the shoot
Before your shoot, ensure to show some ‘tender loving care’ to your skin and hair. Keep yourself hydrated, get a good sleep, and consider subtle grooming, such as a haircut or manicure, for a polished look. Opt for a professional’s help to doll you up by simply enhancing your natural glow without making you look overdone.
6. Bring props & personal touches
Personalize your photo shoot with elements—your favorite books, a guitar, or even your pet to make it more unique and meaningful, telling your love story in an authentic way.
7. Strike a pose, but stay natural
Don’t worry about awkward poses. Trust your photographer’s direction and focus on your partner instead of the camera. Laugh, hold hands, and just be yourself—these raw, unscripted moments make for the best shots.
8. Have fun & embrace the unexpected
They say that nothing goes as planned, and that’s okay! A little wind, an unexpected drizzle, or a spontaneous dance move can turn into the most cherished photos. Live in the moment, and let your love shine through!
