Pre-wedding photography shoots are now a trend that is integral to big budget Indian weddings. Here's the fine print...

What's the ideal fun way to get to know each other before the rituals of a wedding begin?

Of course, it can cost from as much as Rs 10,000 — Rs 5 lakhs over a couple of days for a professional photo shoot but the friendship that gets forged with the bride and groom is unmistakably evident. And this pleasant camaraderie leads up to the wedding day bliss.

The Tip: Pointers to Keep in Mind on a Pre-wedding Shoot

- Pick a time, which has soft natura l lighting. Early morning (6:30 am to 10:30 am) or during the evening is perfect.

- Comfort level is the key for good results of a pre-wedding shoot. If the couple is at ease with each other then the pictures come out truly well.

- Designer outfits for a casual or dressy look can come to the rescue. Light make-up adds to the overall touch. Some photographers choose smoke sticks to add a bit of fluidity in the scenes. Clothes, which can catch the wind show dreamy movement in a photograph.

- Book your location spot in advance and also the photographer. You can decide on the theme of the photo-shoot with romantic, casual fun, chic and dreamy feel to the album. If you desire a specific look, then a chat with the photography team can help as they get some props, exotic flowers, fairy lights to add a twinkle in the photographs.

- Keep a day aside to de-stress and travel to the venue of the photoshoot for a recce. Overall, just smile and the magic shall unfold.
