Pre-Wedding Shoot Checklist: 8 Things to Sort Out Before the Photographer Arrives

A good pre-wedding shoot depends on planning more than luck.

 Pre-Wedding Shoot Checklist

1. Pick the location early: Check permissions, timing, and crowds, and have a backup for bad weather.
2. Choose a time with good light: Early morning and the hour before sunset generally give softer light.
3. Plan 2-3 outfit changes: Keep colours that complement each other, and avoid clashing patterns.
4. Share reference photos: Show your photographer 5-8 looks you like so expectations match.
5. Carry basics: Makeup touch-up kit, water, comfortable footwear, and a small towel.
6. Practise a few relaxed poses: Walking, laughing, and looking at each other feel more natural than stiff poses.
7. Confirm the delivery timeline and edited photo count in writing.
8. Keep it fun: Relaxed couples give the best photos.
