WHAT IS A PRE-WEDDING SHOOT?
The pre-wedding shoot is like a sneak peek into the world of your photographers. It’s a chance for them to get to know you better and for you to see how they work their magic. We were once asked to write a guest blog post for one of the top 100 wedding venues in the world – Brinsop Court. And because we’re all about sharing the love, we thought we’d share those ideas with you too.
We are reportage and fine art wedding photographers based in Hereford, West Midlands, but we also cover the Cotswolds, Wales and lots of other destinations. We absolutely adore capturing those magical moments for our incredible couples. Our style is all about being laid-back and authentic, so if you’re not a fan of stiff poses and just want to have an absolute blast on your big day – then we are the perfect match for you.
A GAME CHANGER
There are a bunch of good reasons to have a pre-wedding shoot, but some lovebirds can get a little mixed up. They’re like, “Why do we need an engagement shoot? We’re already engaged!” But a pre-wedding shoot is actually a real game-changer when it comes to getting ready for your big day, because it gives you a bit of experience. It’s like a photography trial run before the big day.
