1. THE PHOTOGRAPHER GETS TO KNOW THE COUPLE

Pre-wedding shooting is not all about taking the best shots, it is also a period when the photographer and the soon to be wedded couple intermingle get to know each other. The photographer gets to know his or her subjects better. He or she understands how they may react while in front of the camera.

The photographer gets to know what angles they like, whether they are shy or something during clicking that can make them uncomfortable. This is a very important step as it helps in knowing the couple better, it brings out issues that may arise during the actual wedding shoot and prepare the photographer for any eventuality. With such knowledge, the photographer will be prepared, and the photo session will turn out flawless, delivering desired photos that will be cherished for a long time.

2. ESTABLISHING A LEVEL OF COMFORT

In a prewedding photoshoot, a comfort level is established between the couple and the photographer. With the wedding shoot being such an important event, being clicked by a totally unknown person may seem strange or a bit weird, not as how you may be comfortable with someone familiar.

The couple, in turn, will be relaxed in their actions, leading to shots that will be admired for the rest of their lives.

3. LEARNING THE NATURAL BEHAVIOUR

The photographer will learn the couple’s natural behaviour and utilize such knowledge to get the best captions. The chemistry will become clearer, helping capture photos when the couple are in their true selves, not just when they are making poses.

4. THE COUPLE GETS TO GAUGE THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Every couple can be unsure about the photographer’s abilities in creating the captions they have in mind. But with a prewedding shoot, you have a chance to gauge the photographer’s skills and see whether you all are on the same page.

You will have a chance to see what the photographer will give you on the day itself, making you feel assured that you will get what all of you have planned and how the wedding shoot will be done.
