Marriage is one of the most important customs in any cultural tradition or ethnicity. It is not only the union of two bodies but of two souls and families. So let me first congratulate you on about to be married which starts with a pre wedding shoot.
Why Pre Wedding Shoot is Important?
You have crossed one-third of your life, and the two-third you are about, to begin with, a partner who in sickness or in health in riches or poverty will be by your side. Standing at the threshold of the new journey, the moments are of prime importance and hence need to be captured.
There are many factors to be kept in mind while choosing the destination. Each factor will be elaborated on below.
- PERSONALITY:
The pre-wedding destination must focus on the personality of the couple .it can be a contrast or in sync with the character. If the couple has a corporate background, they can choose a secluded place in the city. With glamorous outfits or breaking free of the monotony by choosing an exotic location amidst nature will add extra flavors .
- WEATHER:
The light is very important a bright sunny day is always perfect for a photo shoot if the weather is cloudy or windy it may be a little difficult, while shooting at night the focus should be on the couple with a blurry background. Just imagine you and your partner holding each other’s hand with numerous promises in your mind standing under the starry sky just feeling each other’s breathing. This is the essence of the pre-wedding shoot.
- YOUR STORY
Every match as they say is made in heaven and every match as we know is unique. Your pre-wedding shoot must capture your story be it arranged or love. It should paint out how you met, what you felt, why you decided to be together.
The Main Two factors
- BUDGET
Cut your coat according to your cloth. you may get swayed by emotions and may think of exotic locations but let me remind you don’t get swayed by emotions. The pre-wedding shoot is one of the early steps towards marriage.
If you decide to travel far, you will have to pay for the equipment and the photographer, which might be a little extravagant. In fact, choose a place where you can go and enjoy yourself. That happiness will be captured in your pictures that will last for a lifetime!
Although, you can cut down the budget by not hiring any professionals and opting for smartphones like Samsung S20 FE, and Xiaomi Mi11X Pro. The advantages are you own the phone and need not pay any extra. In the near future smartphone going to replace DSLR for sure, why you should not start now.
