5 Cool Benefits To Having A Pre-Wedding Shoot

The pre-wedding shoot helps you to get to know your photographers and how they work. Photographers also can get to know you a bit more too. Some time ago we were asked to do a guest blog post for one of the top 100 wedding venues in the world – Brinsop Court. We thought it would be great to share those ideas with you too.

We are reportage and fine art wedding photographers based in Hereford, West Midlands. As visual story tellers we love capturing special moments for our amazing couples. Our style is relaxed and natural so if you don’t really like posing and just want to have the best time on your wedding day – we are your kind of people.

There are some really good reasons to have a pre-wedding shoot but many couples are sometimes confused. They say ‘we don’t need the engagement shoot, we’re already engaged’.  But a pre-wedding shoot actually helps you prepare for your wedding day…

We don’t normally add pre-wedding shoots to our wedding packages but this year we’ve decided to give you something extra from us. If you book one of our FULL DAY packages (with 2 photographers) we will add a complimentary engagement shoot worth £300 to your package. How does that sound?
