The engagement or pre-wedding session is the photo session that is carried out only with the couple, weeks or days before the wedding celebration. As a professional photographer with years of experience in the area, I always recommend this session, the pre-wedding photos serve as a rehearsal for the couple; In this phase they are relaxed, isolated, without rushing or needing everything to go well the first time. In addition to creating a beautiful memory, these photos are often excellent for decorating the area on the wedding day, for use in wedding invitations, or for announcing the wedding date on the couple’s social networks.
In most cases, nerves do not wait when it comes to posing in front of a camera, it is normal. As a professional photographer I try to make the couple feel confident and as relaxed as possible, so that we can capture that complicity and relaxed smiles of both. And since we’re at it, I’ll leave here some tips for your pre-wedding bridal session.
Use a look according to your environment
When choosing the wardrobe for the pre-wedding session you should also take into account that the type of clothing matches the place where you chose to do your session. A session in the city allows for more heels than a session in a green area, from an extravagant wedding dress to a short skirt or dress, but always covering the knees, since this style gives a more elegant look. The same thing happens with printed clothing, never wear printed clothing or very extravagant colors in a green area.While on the beach a simple long dress with low sandals or bare feet is better.
Use coordinated colors with your partner
When I talk about coordinated colors, I don’t mean that they dress the same, but that they use colors that complement each other.
Wear at least two different looks
Plan at least two outfits and wardrobes for the couple, with this we can achieve a more varied and less monotonous result to remember. All this without ignoring the most important thing, that they feel comfortable and relaxed.
Accessories related to what you like to do
In addition to the engagement rings that should already be included in the session as the main symbol of your commitment. With accessories I mean their hobbies or things related to their work if they like it, with their favorite pet or animal. Example with a motorcycle, on a bicycle or skates, with your dog or cat, with some painting if you like to draw, etc.
Taking advantage of the season
According to the season of the year or the season that is being celebrated, we can take thematic photos. If it’s summer we can do it with a beach-type setup, or why not on the beach itself? If it’s winter, you can make the most of your favorite coat, coats with layers and fabrics, scarves or seasonal items. Christmas themes in December, such as red, white and green clothing, Christmas decorations, etc…
I hope you liked my tips for your Pre-Wedding session. With these tips we will achieve the best for your memories.
