The Different Types Of Pre-Wedding Photography

Every couple is excited to say for better or for worse, I do and have some cake at the reception. To make sure everything will be in order on that special day, couples usually plan their wedding months or even years in advance. Preparing tremendously for the big day, everything must be well organized and arranged--the caterer and the church, the gown and the tux, and even the wedding entourage. The pre-wedding photography is usually done before the big day so the couple could have nice photographs they could use for the invitation and have them get to know the photographer more and vise versa.

There are different pre-wedding photography appointments that couples nowadays have with their photographer. There are different types of pre-wedding photography that couples can avail. These are: a save the date photo shoot, an engagement or pre-nuptial photo shoot and a test photo shoot at the wedding location. These all happen before the wedding and provide the couple with photos they can use.

Just so they have pictures in their save the date video the couple will have a save the day photo shoot. This basically asks the guests of the wedding to save a specific date. This further announces the couple's plan on getting married, where and what time. It can show the different stages the couple went through before deciding to get married. These show the fun and quirky side of the couple. It could be shot in the memorable locations for the couple like the place where they first met or where they shared their first kiss.

Once the save the date photo was done the engagement or pre-nuptial photo shoot immediately follows. Couples have different preferences when it comes to shooting their save the date and engagement shoots; some would like to do it all in one time while the other would like to do it separately. The bride's engagement ring will be shown in the pre-wedding photography shoot and it's usually held in a romantic location. Like the save the shoot, this could also be done at the couple's memorable place. The photos from this shoot are usually used in the invitation and the various backdrops at the reception. This shows the more romantic and lovey-dovey side of the couple.

The last part of the pre-wedding shoot is not a formal shoot. Some photographers prefer having some knowledge about the location of the wedding before the day itself. In order to know where the lights enter what lenses to use and what other types of equipment to bring the clients may be invited by the photographer to have a test shot at the venue. These shoots will be taken few days before the actual wedding.

All these pre-wedding photography shoots provides interaction between the photographer and the clients making them more at ease and comfortable with each other. This will give the photographer an easier time to shoot on the day of the wedding itself.
