You Can Never Go Wrong with these Pre-Wedding Photography Tips

Determine the colour of your gown based on the venue.

Deciding on your dress immediately after you’ve chosen the venue is preferable.

Get something a little brighter for natural settings, so you don’t blend in with the dense vegetation.

It would look beautiful in traditional white, pastels, or a contrasting red.

You may afford to select stronger colours if you’re photographing against a predominantly white background, like CHIJMES or the National Museum.

To avoid a stark white-on-white effect, choose pastel colours instead, or pair your white gown with darker accessories like a fascinator, gloves, or a belt.

If you’ve chosen a night shoot for your Singapore wedding photoshoot, stay with white or light-coloured clothing to prevent your figure from “disappearing” into the shadows.

Feel free to go crazy with sequins and other shiny accessories to make sure your outfit stands out!

As a general guideline, your nails should coordinate with your gown; reliable options include a white bridal manicure or something in the same colour. Flowers should also stand out against your dress without being overly flashy.

Take test photos in various lighting conditions after getting a makeup trial.

Most makeup artists (MUAs) provide a free trial session so that your appearance can be perfected before the event.

Even if yours requires an additional price, it’s essential to avoid scrimping because images last a lifetime.

Similar to this, you should practice your makeup application at home beforehand just to be cautious.

It’s a good idea to take test photos with your own camera or smartphone in various lighting conditions, especially if you’re taking night images with flash, in addition to checking to see whether the colours match your dress.

Make sure the foundation applied to you isn’t too light or hantu-like, especially if your skin is tanned.

If it’s too late to swap on the day of the shoot, bring your own foundation.

For running shots and moving between locations, ditch the heels and don some comfortable shoes.

If you have comfortable shoes for running shoots and convenient movement between sites, it will undoubtedly make things a lot simpler.

This will be very useful if you have to balance or stand in high places, like the spiral staircase in Fort Canning Park.

If you don’t need the extra lift, you could complete the entire session in your go-to Converse Chuck Taylors or hidden wedge sneakers, which are becoming more popular these days.

Inform your photographer about your ideal mood and good angles.h

Some of us are single-angle queens who believe that every photograph has a “good side” and a “poor side.”

Before beginning, my photographer asked if I had any favourite angles; however, if yours doesn’t, make sure you let them know.

Prepare for the weather.

When it comes to unforeseen severe weather, there are often two options: postponing the shoot or switching to an indoor site.

Make sure that everything, including potential backup venues, has been addressed prior with your photographer. A bridal boutique Singapore can help you prepare for unexpected weather.

You don’t want to be in a precarious position where you’re all just standing about debating what to do.

The most practical would be locations close to the location of your wedding shoot.

For example, if you’re going to be shooting in a park, you might want to perform some preliminary study on the different shelter locations that may be suitable for photographs.
