The highlight of the wedding is the couple because it’s their day and they’ve gone through a lot (of financial deductions and planning) to arrive on this big day. Before the big day, they take pre-wedding pictures which used to be strictly for souvenirs back then but has now become a prerequisite.

One of the biggest trends of the moment is the pre-wedding shoot. Couples are seen sunning themselves on a holiday or enjoying their favourite pastime, often in matching his-and-hers outfits. According to popular editor, ”pre-wedding shots are where you know the wedding has started. It helps to include people in the wedding preparation, especially those relatives living abroad”. They serve to provide inspiration, chart the fashion and poke fun at the possible dramas awaiting the wedding party.

A pre-wedding shoot allows the couple to get together with the wedding photographer before their big day and have a number of portrait photos taken. Have fun with these informal shots (the shoot could be held anywhere you like). Its more lovey-dovey and they feel and savor each other’s touch and glances more, almost like teenagers. A Pre-Wedding shoot captures those special feelings and emotions, which will soon be replaced by deeper intimacy and greater acquaintance.
