- Hire the same professional photographer who you were planning to shoot your wedding photos with.
- Set a date for your pre wedding photo shoot at least a few weeks in advance so that you, your spouse and the photographer will be free on the same day.
- Photographs that are shot in the day time look great as the sun adds a natural bright touch to each click but that does not mean you should rule out taking photos at night. Dusk and night fall can offer a beautiful creative canvas as well. In fact, two merging silhouettes against the moonlight is quite an eye-catching image.
- Don’t stick with just one outfit. Showcase a few of your favourite outfits with a change in makeup and hairstyle where possible. In fact, having a separate outfit for each location may be a good idea to consider.

So, now we come to the most important aspect which plays a crucial role in making your pre wedding photo shoot a success. The location. Where you choose to shoot your pre wedding photos and the time of the day is an importance decision you need to take. We suggest:
- The first place where you two met, your favourite restaurant or café or any other place which holds a special meaning to the two of you.
- You could consider having your pre wedding photo shoot held entirely outdoors. In fact, getting photographed on different kinds of terrains such as on a mountain, a desert and in a lush green setting are certain to look gorgeous.
- Why stop at a destination wedding when you could also have a fabulous and exotic destination pre wedding photo shoot too? It’s a great way to capture the local sights and sounds and if you’re willing to dress up a bit, you can even take a few shots of yourself in traditional wear. For example, if you were to have a photo shoot in Japan, wearing a kimono and serving tea in the traditional way are two good photo ideas you could explore.
- Bring out your individual personalities by shooting a few goofy and fun photos of the two of you. By using props, you get to add more humour in every frame.
- Always wanted to have a shot at the glitzy and glamourous life? How about going all out with a Vogue inspired pre wedding photo session which includes wearing vintage designer wear, lots of expensive leather furniture and a really luxurious background setting?

- Don’t forget to take a few photos of the two of you in an intimate setting. It could be something as sweet as simply holding hands or spicy as sharing a kiss.
