Most of the time, brides have a very clear idea of what their wedding photos will look like. However, after seeing the pre-wedding photos, they realize that some nuances are impossible.

A pre-wedding photo session is an opportunity for the photographer and the newlyweds to spend time together, and at the same time, for the couple to get used to the camera and their personalities. One of the most important questions for engaged couples: what to wear for a pre-wedding photo shoot? Everyday, dressing up or thinking about a theme? Dark or light? But the most important thing couples should know is that you have to be unique in your photos!! Therefore, some of the most important tips when choosing clothes for a photo shoot:
Be yourself
The most important thing during a photo session is to be yourself! The purpose of any photo session is to reveal who you are, to show your personality. If you choose a style that you haven't promoted before, you will feel uncomfortable during the photo shoot and it will show in the photos. If you want to wear jeans and a t-shirt or just pajamas, it's your choice. This mood will affect the overall mood of the photos.
A pre-wedding photo session is a great opportunity to experiment. If the bride plans to wear bright make-up on her wedding day, she should also go with a makeup artist for a trial make-up for this photo shoot. Makeup is a small investment that will give you confidence. Even if you don't wear makeup on a daily basis, cameras are twisted creatures and discover every imperfection in your skin. A little powder and mascara will help you achieve perfect results.
Feel comfortable
Think about your body type: You know what works for you and what doesn't, so don't go for something that looked great in some magazine. If you worry about how the bride's arms look in an open dress during the photo session, the excitement will be reflected in the photos, and it will be more difficult for the photographer to capture the most beautiful moments of the couple in love. Your clothes should be comfortable so that you feel great in them. Nothing makes you feel awkward in front of the camera like shyness, so make sure the outfit you choose gives you confidence.
Colors and combinations
You can coordinate your outfits, but don't become identical twins. For example, if the girl wears a red dress, the guy can wear a blue-red tie. It's a nice combination, not too forced. It is important to remember that it does not have to be the same color. Another shade of color will give a perfect combination. Think complementary colors, such as cherry and bright blue or soft pink and turquoise, and make sure your outfit is color-coordinated.
It is not uncommon for couples to choose black clothing, because it is visually slimming. However, photographers are quite skeptical about such a choice, because when wearing black clothes, you can see every stuck dust or hair in the photos. White color should not be chosen either. Better to save it for the big wedding day. Choose bold patterns, bright colors! By wearing such clothes, you will easily become the main subject of the photo, and not a detail of the environment. And the best thing is when one of the future newlyweds chooses the aforementioned outfit, and the other chooses a monochromatic combination.
Style
On the day of the photo session, the couple should look similar: Your clothes should be of the same level of decoration and radiate the same emotions. Therefore, if you want to look formal, you both need to dress in a formal style.
Choose clothes appropriate for the time of year, as most of the photo shoots take place outside. Thin summer clothes in winter or winter clothes in summer will not do you any good...
Layering
A quick and easy way to create multiple looks with just one outfit is layering. Incorporate it into the style of the day. Add a jacket, sweater or jumper to complete the look. You can also use accessories for layering: vests or belts.
Weather conditions are often unpredictable, so layering can help you avoid awkward photo shoot situations. If you decide to take a few photos in the shade and then go to a sunny spot, you won't sweat when you take off your clothes. Another advantage of layering is that you can hide body parts that you are uncomfortable showing.
Place
Think about the location of the photo shoot. If you want a light, natural or rustic feel, soft, neutral colors are a great choice. If the pre-wedding photo session will take place in an urban environment, brighter colors will be more suitable and you should dress up a bit more. If the photos will be taken in a park, do not choose green clothing, because you will disappear in the background of grass and trees. Choose red, yellow, etc. to stand out. For a softer, more muted look, go for something like blue. Choose a simple summer dress or jeans and a t-shirt when taking photos in a rye field.
Several sets of clothing
You can never go wrong with a few extra clothes. Especially if you can't decide what to choose: casual or formal style. A transition option is possible, where you start casually and gradually move to more serious, "high fashion" styles. It is best to end such a photo session with several themed photos. However, keep in mind that most or all of the photo shoot will take place outside, so you will need to change in the car.
Relax and have a good time!
Pre-wedding photoshoots are simple. Their goal is to show you the way you are - socializing, loving, kissing, laughing. So put on your smiles and be ready to have a great time!
