Pre-wedding Photography Melbourne

Pre-wedding photography is a type of photo session that is done a few months before the couple’s D-day. It is also known as engagement wedding photography. In Melbourne, it’s a rising trend because modern couples want to record their love story before they tie the knot. Additionally, it gives them a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and bond with their pre-wedding wedding photographer in Melbourne. This way, they feel less nervous, which further prepares them to enjoy their wedding day to the fullest.

As an experienced pre-wedding photographer in Melbourne, I can tell you that capturing those genuine moments requires a special skillset and hands-on experience. While it might seem fun to have a cousin or friend snap some shots, we believe that hiring professional photographers and videographers makes a huge difference. At Tree Studio, we know how to find the perfect angles and bring out the real emotions that make your love story unique.

    Pre-wedding Photography Ideas and Tips

    In my photography career, I have done many pre-wedding photography shoots in Melbourne. I know the challenges couples may face during the photo sessions. Therefore, here are some pre-wedding photography ideas and tips that you must skim through to prepare yourself for a memorable session as a couple.  From location and timing selection to choosing your outfit and poses, I’ve covered everything!

    Where to Shoot?

    I suggest deciding on the location or venue for your photoshoot as early as possible. You have many options! You could take pictures at the place where you had your first meeting, where the proposal happened, or at your favourite cafe or park. Alternatively, you could also choose classic spots like beaches, forests, or botanical gardens.

    Should You Shoot During Sunrise, Sunset or at Night?

    The best time to schedule pre-wedding shoots is during sunrise, sunset, or night. The abundance of natural light is an advantage for couples & photographers to capture beautiful photos. I love how beautifully photographs turn out in the golden hours.

    What can you wear for pre-wedding photography?

    A pre-wedding shoot is a special occasion and needs to be carefully planned, including what to wear. 

    When it comes to dresses, it should typically depend on what you aspire for. Some dress formally, while others keep it casual and toned down. In addition, many couples prefer a traditional outlook to stay connected with their culture. Whatever outfit you choose to wear, it’s always good to plan before the shoot day.

    As a professional pre-wedding photographer in Melbourne, I always advise my clients to share their thoughts and ideas about their outfits and overlook looks. This helps me plan the photography session, which also depends a lot on the location. For instance, when you want to shoot along the coastline, you can wear a billowy gown and keep your hair open. If you plan to shoot in the lush green Botanic Garden, I’d recommend donning a light-coloured outfit, as it will nicely pop up against the backdrop. 

    How to pose for pre-wedding photography?

    As a pre-wedding photographer in Melbourne, I believe in working with my client and discussing the poses beforehand. If you want natural poses, it is best to go for candid photography, where we click you in your genuine way. You can hug or kiss each other if you want romantic and intimate shots. Walking along the tree-lined pathways hand-in-hand makes for a good click, too. If you want fun-loving pictures, you can laugh and smile, and we will catch them on the lens promptly and precisely. 

    Experimenting with shots from different angles will make the shoot even more joyful. If you wear a flowy dress, you can twirl so the picture looks like there's movement. Always be open with the photographer about your comfort. After all, it's your pre-wedding shoot, and you must enjoy it.
