Yes, You REALLY Do Need a Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

With raw, full emotions on display surrounded by the people you love, nothing can top the moments during your actual wedding day.

But if there’s anything we’ve learned as Singapore’s preferred bridal boutique, it’s that when it comes to capturing romance and intimacy the way you want it, pre-wedding photoshoots are where it’s at!

With a pre-wedding photoshoot, you get to decide the exact way you want to immortalise your love story.

It’s practical, too!

A pre-wedding shoot allows you to get comfortable with being in front of the camera for your big day and helps you build a better rapport with your wedding photographer.

Plus, you can use your photos for your wedding invitations and stationery. Win-win!

I Have Only 2 Days for a Pre-Wedding Shoot—Can I Make It?

So now that we’ve established the need for one, what do you do to make sure everything will go smoothly?

Better yet, how do you get ready in a short period for a pre-wedding shoot? Say 2 days?

Whether you have 2 weeks or 2 days to prepare, we got you!

Here are some of our tried-and-tested pre wedding photoshoot tips you will surely find useful.

How to Get Ready for a Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Singapore

Get that Beauty Sleep

Including you, grooms! Remember, right angles and good lighting can only do so much to make up for tired skin.

You need the energy, too— how are you going to achieve all those running dramatic shots you want?

So, get a good night’s sleep, avoid drinking the night before, and skip the midnight ramen snack.

Prepare for Every Scenario

And by that, we mean everything!

Aside from your pre-wedding photography outfits, make sure to discuss your hair and makeup with your stylists beforehand.

Don’t forget your hands, too. Polish your engagement ring and get a quick manicure. A session won’t take a lot of time, so you can definitely fit it in.

Anticipate any sudden change in the elements as well.

You don’t want to have to smile through your teeth under the scorching Singapore sun or during a sudden downpour.

Here are some items we suggest packing:

Umbrella (this can double as a prop for outdoor shoot locations)
A change of shoes or two (you might need to change your shoot location)
Safety pins
Water
Sunscreen
Wet wipes
Battery-operated fans
Insect repellant

Practise Posing for Your Pre-Wedding Photos

Just like how you would prepare for your wedding date with a wedding rehearsal, you should also prepare for pre-wedding shoots!

Practise your best pre-wedding poses with your partner and try out different pre-wedding photoshoot ideas.

Ask a friend to take your pictures or take turns doing so with your significant other until you’re satisfied with the poses you can use during your actual pre-wedding photoshoot session.

Work With a Reputable Pre-Wedding Photography Provider

A professional photographer specializing in pre-wedding photography has the experience, equipment, and passion to make sure that each of your pre-wedding pictures turns out great.

You can trust that they will get you the perfect shot every time, whether in the studio or under natural light.

Many professional photographers can also coach you regarding pre-wedding poses, so that’s always helpful if your nerves haven’t settled yet.

Bonus if you opted for a wedding package like the ones we offer at La Belle Couture!

With us, you will be working with the same photographer on your wedding day.

This means you won’t get a headache over making separate payment arrangements, and you’ll also have an expert opinion on how to best bring your theme to life with creative ideas you never thought was possible.
