5 Reasons That You Should Consider Pre-Wedding Photography in Melbourne
Pre-wedding photography, also known as engagement photos, is a private session of wedding photography organized couple weeks ahead of couple’s wedding date. But in Melbourne, pre-wedding photography still hasn’t gained its popularity that it deserves.
Have you ever considered pre-wedding photography with your loved one? And after reading this blog on 5 reasons to do engagement photos in Melbourne, I’m sure you will rethink about pre-wedding photography.
1. More photo locations, yay!
The first benefit of doing pre-wedding photography is you can do wedding photography at extra locations that might not be able to go on your wedding day. For instance, if you have already planned a Melbourne CBD wedding but you have always wanted to do wedding photos in a vineyard or a forest, this may not be viable because the busy schedule simply won’t allow you to travel that far on your wedding day.
However, a pre-wedding photography session will let you achieve two things at one blow. You can literally choose any location you like with your wedding photographer for your engagement photos.
2. Extra photos, extra special memories
Many people still think engagement photos are basically the same as wedding photography. As a wedding photographer, I would never agree with that. In my mind, pre-wedding photography not only adds more photos in your wedding album, It also tells a different story about your love story. Pre-wedding photography is like a movie trailer or an introduction of a book, featuring just you and your loved one. Good engagement photos show the emotions and excitement of a couple who is about to get married. And when years to come, they will be as important as your wedding day photography.
3. A surprise to your guests
Instead of giving out plain colored wedding stationeries, have you ever thought about putting your engagement photos on your wedding stationeries? And tell you what, it is something that will make your wedding extra special while your guests will be very pleased with.
When printed, your pre-wedding photography will also act as a storyboard, telling those who don’t know you that well on how it all got started.
4. Great opportunity to know each other
Even though your wedding photographers have repeatedly told you how nice he is when shooting, or how much a pro he is on wedding photography. The fact is you might still find him not the perfect fit right from the moment he put up his camera. This is quite unfortunate but for a once-in-a-lifetime event, sure you want someone you are comfortable to work with.
However, it would be too late for you to change your mind if it’s already your wedding day. But if you have arranged a pre-wedding photography session, it would provide you a perfect opportunity to know each other and see if you are a good fit.
5. Get used to the camera
You might have already arranged a million meetings with your wedding photographer already, but still I won’t be surprised that you would still get a little bit nervous once he is behind that camera. ‘where should I look’, ‘does my pose look funny’, you will start to question yourself and become more and more awkward.
Comparing to the actual wedding day photography, a pre-wedding photography session is more private and relaxed: you can totally take your time while your wedding photographer bring you two into the mood of doing photos. And interestingly, there will be a point where you would become more used to and confident in front of the camera.
After reading this blog, hopefully not only you will have a better idea on pre-wedding photography, but you will start to think about doing engagement photos for your wedding. If you would love to know more about pre-wedding photography, you can contact Tree Studio for more tips.
