Pre-Wedding photo sessions are big business.

They are extremely popular with the Asian and Indian Communities where they will happily spend $1000’s of dollars on this one session.

Sometimes, it may even be themed at say Disney or perhaps a different part of the country or maybe even abroad.

Generally, the idea is for the couple and their very close friends to be themselves!

An example is of a couple who wanted a Bollywood themed photo session. They dressed up in their respected wedding outfits, but it was all staged and modelled with props and friends.

Another couple wanted their pre wedding photos on an old aircraft. They both work for an airline and this was their way to show their engagement. Once again, their friends were invited, they also dressed up in their wedding outfits.

On a different note, there are those couples who prefer to have their staged photos done; pre wedding at the actual location. They prefer to leave the actual day for real emotional photos and not care so much on the technicalities. The kind of photos that would mean a lot to the couple, but not neccessarily be a part of the photographers portfolio.

These sessions are also very helpful for both the photographer and the couple to get acquainted and have a more relaxed wedding day as everything can thereafter be candid.
