What do I wear for the pre-wedding photo shoot?

by TM Maria Be a king in your own kingdom

The pre-wedding session often serves as an 'essay' prior to day B where you can get confidence with the photographer, although many couples use the photographs in their invitations and 'save-the-date.

The pre - wedding photos are more than a fashion: most photographers recommend them because they help connect with the couple before the day B, ie, they serve as test in a more relaxed environment, isolated from the rest of the world, unhurried and without the need for everything to go well the first time. These couple sessions, in addition, allow to put into practice some poses or angles, and are a nice memory that is often used as part of the invitations, in the same decoration of day B, or simply as an advance to the wedding in social networks: that is, as a rule they are not photographs that are going to be left in a drawer.


1. Avoid the long white dress. If you want to wear white, better a minidress with sport accessories. More than anything because that's what the wedding album is for, especially if you're going to share the photos on social networks or print them with the invitations or the save-the-date. A white and long dress will create confusion among the guests: have they already married? Maybe there is a civil ceremony before the religious? Is this the dress the bride will wear? This color, moreover, is more difficult to capture in photos, the same as black (in case he was thinking about wearing a dark sweater, or you want to wear a little black dress). If you want to use black & white In the session, talk to your photographer first so that you have the right light.

2. Prepare at least two different looks. It is not about taking the car to the location of the session up clothes, but to plan at least two outfits for each member of the couple. If the two styles work, the result of the photos will be more varied. If in the end you only look good with one, you'll be glad you did not risk everything to a single outfit.

3. Coordinate the colors, but do not wear the same. Look for colors that complement each other instead of identical colors, that go with your complexion and with that of your partner. It is decr: the ideal is that they are at opposite ends within the chromatic circle. Blue Orange. Purple-green. If there is no way to flip the cabinet using this formula, use a neutral color combined with a bright one: gray and yellow; beige and coral, etc.

4. Take the environment into account. Especially when choosing between skirt or pants, long or short dress, or type of shoes. One city session admits more heel than a session in the field, while one on the beach looks great with a long dress, which could be strange if we take the photos in a museum. The same thing happens with colors and patterns: if you are going to use a gray background or a neutral color, take advantage of the brightest garments out of the wardrobe.

5. Take advantage of one of your hobbies in common. Or better yet, combine two favorite hobbies if they are different.

6. The jewels matter although the protagonist is the engagement ring. It is very likely that you take out short shots where you can see the ring up close, your faces, a kiss ... The powerful jewels are perfect for this type of shot, as long as the ring does not lose prominence. What you should NOT carry: the bag. Better to leave it at home, or in the car.

7. Think about the movement of the garments. Especially if you choose a skirt or a dress. Photos in arms, for example, or running or moving are more spectacular if the fabric is soft and fluid (for example gauze or silk) than if it is rigid (for example, taffeta). Of course, garments with more structured fabrics favor more from any angle, while flowing skirts are more treacherous. Do tests at home from various angles, postures and movements.
