Pre-Wedding Shoots: Not as Awkward as You Think (Promise!)
Why You Should Totally Say Yes to a Pre-Wedding Shoot (Even If You Hate Having Your Photo Taken)
Spoiler alert: it's not as scary as you think!
Let’s be honest—most couples we meet tell us one of two things right off the bat:
“We’re really awkward in front of the camera,”
“We don’t really like having our photo taken.”
And you know what? That’s completely normal. In fact, around 90% of our couples say exactly that. (The other 10% might be undercover models—who knows.)
But here’s the magic:
Every single one of those nervous couples finishes the shoot saying, “That was actually really fun!”
And that’s exactly why we love pre-wedding shoots so much.
So… why bother with a pre-wedding shoot?
Because it’s more than just pretty photos. It’s:
A chance to get used to the camera
Time for us to get to know you as a couple
Time for you to get to know how we work
A little “photography rehearsal” before the main event
Think of it as a trial run—except without the stress and with a lot more giggling
What actually happens during a pre-wedding shoot?
We’ll meet at a lovely location—maybe somewhere meaningful to you, or just somewhere with nice light and space to wander. We hang out, we chat, we take some relaxed photos.
No pressure. No weird posing. Just good vibes and some gentle guidance if you’re feeling unsure.
And if you're bringing your dog along? Even better!
The best part?
You walk away feeling so much more confident about your wedding photography.
No more worrying about where to put your hands or how to smile.
On your wedding day, you’ll know what to expect—and it’ll feel natural, even fun.
Still on the fence?
Here’s what every couple says after their shoot:
“That wasn’t nearly as bad as we expected.”
And we take that as the highest praise.
So don’t stress it. You’ve got this—and we’ve got you.
