I recently had the pleasure of capturing Abi & Mike's love story at an incredible artist's open loft space. It was one of those rainy afternoons with soft light filtering through the large glass windows, creating a dreamy ambiance. The best part was seeing the 2 of them completely unwind and savour every moment together. They laughed, danced, and had an absolute blast, all while I captured those special moments through my lens. Planning this session was an absolute breeze, and I'd love to share 5 pre-wedding session tips to help you create your own personalised love story.
Choose a Unique Location:
Find a spot that resonates with your personalities and style. It could be an art gallery, a charming cafe, or even a cozy park. It could be where you first laid eyes on each other or a place you both adore. Picking a meaningful spot will make your photos extra personal and heartfelt.
Style It Up:
Coordinate your outfits to match each other and the location. Go for clothes that complement your styles and fit the vibe of the shoot. Pick colours that go well together and avoid wild patterns that might steal the show. Dress comfortably and confidently so your true selves shine through.
Let's Get to Know Each Other:
Let's chedule a pre-session consultation or meet-up to discuss your vision, preferences, and any specific ideas you have in mind. Building a connection is so important and it will help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during the shoot, resulting in natural and genuine moments captured on camera.
Plan Some Fun Activities:
Brainstorm some activities or poses that represent your relationship. It could be a romantic picnic, a playful dance, or whatever makes you two happy. Adding meaningful activities makes the shoot more enjoyable and captures your genuine bond.
Relax and Be Authentic:
Remember, this session is all about capturing your love story naturally. So, take a deep breath, let go of any stress, and just be yourselves. Trust my guidance and don't be afraid to show your true emotions and have a good time together!
Choosing the Right Photographer:
With attention to every detail, from the lighting and composition to the positioning and framing of each shot, I will take the time to understand your vision and work with you to create a beautiful, cohesive, and personalised visual story that captures the essence of your love.
