Alright, so you’re gettin’ hitched, huh? That’s mighty fine! Now, everyone’s talkin’ ’bout these “pre-wedding pics,” whatever them fancy words mean. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss to me, but I guess it’s what folks do these days. So, let’s figure out how to get some good snaps without makin’ it too complicated.
First off, you gotta think about where you wanna take these pictures. Some folks go all out, climbin’ mountains and whatnot. But if you ask me, home is where the heart is, right? If your place is nice and tidy, or even if it ain’t, you can get some real cozy pictures right there. Think about it – you in your comfy clothes, maybe makin’ cookies or just sittin’ on the porch swing. That’s real, that’s you. And it don’t cost an arm and a leg, neither.
- Think about comfy clothes
- Think about your daily activity
Now, if you’re set on goin’ somewhere fancy, that’s your business. But remember, it ain’t about the place, it’s about the two of you. You could be standin’ in front of a garbage dump, and if you’re lookin’ at each other all lovey-dovey, that’s all that matters. So, pick a spot that means somethin’ to you. Maybe where you first met, or that park you always walk in. Just keep it simple, that’s what i say.
Then there’s the clothes. Lord, have mercy, some of these brides-to-be look like they’re goin’ to a costume party. You don’t need no fancy gowns and suits for these pictures. Wear somethin’ you feel good in, somethin’ that’s you. Jeans and a t-shirt? Perfectly fine. That sundress you love? Go for it. The point is to look like yourselves, not some magazine models. Remember to be comfortable, you will be doing a lot of standing and moving around.
And don’t forget about the photographer. Now, I ain’t sayin’ you gotta hire some big-shot city slicker. But you want someone who knows what they’re doin’. Get someone who’s gonna listen to what you want, not just boss you around. And for goodness sake, talk to them beforehand! Tell ’em what you like, what you don’t like. Show ’em some pictures you like the look of. It’s like bakin’ a cake – you gotta give ’em the recipe if you want it to turn out right. Make sure you like the photographer’s style and personality, you will spend some time with them.
Another thing, don’t go posin’ like you’re in some kinda play. You know, those stiff, fake smiles? Ugh. Just be yourselves! Laugh, joke around, hold hands, steal a kiss. The best pictures are the ones where you’re just bein’ natural. And don’t be afraid to get a little silly. Those are the pictures you’ll look back on and smile at years from now.
And listen, don’t stress too much about it. These pictures are supposed to be fun! It’s a chance to celebrate your love and have a good time before the big day. So, relax, enjoy yourselves, and let the photographer do their job. You can make a list of different photo ideas you want, that always helps.
Lastly, remember why you’re doin’ this in the first place. It ain’t about showin’ off or impressin’ folks. It’s about capturin’ a moment in time, a piece of your love story. So, keep it real, keep it simple, and keep it focused on the two of you. That’s the secret to gettin’ pre-wedding pics that you’ll cherish forever. That’s what the young folks say, and it sounds just about right to me.
These days, everyone’s got their phones out. Maybe you ask a friend or a family member to take some pictures too. Sometimes, those are the best ones, you know? The ones that ain’t all posed and perfect. Just somethin’ to think about.
