I often get asked why I include a complimentary pre wedding shoot with my packages and also what is it for? Well, I could run a decent business just from a few pounds for every time a bride will also say to me that she hates having her photo taken. I am not surprised by this either, as we live in a world where we do not have a lot of control over people discreetly taking photos of us and then posting on their social media. You then log on to your computer to see a badly lit and posed photo of yourself and the bad relationship with the camera has been set in place.
My aim with a pre wedding shoot is two-fold: to dispel any fears of unflattering photographs appearing on your wedding gallery and to enable the bride and groom to feel relaxed with me and actually enjoy having their photograph taken. This is where I really can help because I can take this important time before the wedding to show the couple some important and easy posing tips to avoid those unflattering arm angles ( very important when brides’ arms are often exposed) and also to show them how to stand together and hold each other naturally. This can be very important when there is a significant height difference between the couple too. But there are easy solutions to this and my experience in how to resolve these is what I am there to show them and to have fun! Here are some examples over the last few years. Pets and children are also welcome too at these shoots – why not use the opportunity for a family portrait at the same time?
