Planning Your Prenup Photoshoot

On August 27, 2019

A crucial part of preparing for the big day is planning your pre-wedding photos. The images and videos from the prenup photoshoot, as it’s commonly called, are usually used for invitation cards, save-the-date videos, wedding websites, and also shown in a visual presentation on the wedding itself, interspersed with photos from the ceremony. It documents the couple’s happy moments on their road to marriage and gives the guests a better glimpse of their relationship and individual personalities. A wedding is a major milestone for any couple, so it’s important to document all of its aspects for posterity, allowing everyone to look back at these precious moments.

To pull off a successful pre-wedding photoshoot, you’ll need a team of professional photographers, and possibly even videographers. But of course, you also have to do your part. No matter how good your photographers are, the session would be difficult if you do not prepare for your shoot the right way.

To help you make the most of your prenup photoshoot, consider these helpful tips.

Finalize Your Prenup Photoshoot Theme

Brainstorm with your partner to come up with concrete ideas and determine what you wish to do during your engagement photoshoot. If you’re having difficulty finding a concept to follow, you can ask your photographer for some ideas. Given their experience, they should have a better idea of what’s good and what’s not. But don’t forget to make sure that your partner also likes and is comfortable with the theme!

To help you with picking the right pre-wedding photoshoot concept, here are some general themes that you can use as a springboard:

Travel and adventure
Rustic countryside
Casual and relaxed
Fairytale
Movies or TV shows
Happy and colorful
Romantic
Sexy
Sporty

Create A Prenup Photo Mood Board

Browse online for prenup images you’d like to emulate. There are tons of pictures on Pinterest, Tumblr, and Instagram for you to get inspiration from. Let your stylist and photographer check the drafts of your mood board and ask for feedback and suggestions. It will be easier for the team to work harmoniously once they know what you want.

Choose The Location For Your Pre-Wedding Photos

When searching for the perfect spot, take note of any pictorial fees and local permits that might be required for the location you’re eyeing. If you’re both nature lovers, consider a beach, lake, forest, or mountain for a picturesque backdrop. An indoor photoshoot is also a great idea, especially if the weather isn’t cooperating—look for cozy cafes, interesting museums, or even your own home.

Plan Your Prenup Photoshoot Outfits

Getting the right outfit and accessories together for your pre-wedding photos can be challenging. Make sure everything’s coordinated by consulting with both your photo team and stylist about colors, lighting and patterns. Take into consideration the theme and the locations you have in mind: For example, wearing a ballgown and a tuxedo probably isn’t the best idea if you’re keen on shooting at a tropical beach! Finally, prepare for at least 3 to 4 sets of your desired looks so you’ll have several prenup photo options to choose from.

Arrange The Schedule For Your Prenup Photoshoot

Set a date for your prenup photoshoot and book your stylist and hair & makeup artist. Pre-wedding photoshoots are better to schedule during weekdays to avoid the weekend crowd, especially if you’re targeting a popular location.

You can also make your prenup photos extraordinary by trying something new for the both of you. Search on the web or use magazines and galleries to find inspiration and ideas, and push yourselves to think of unusual ways to style your prenup photos. As much as possible, try to come up with a concept that is unique to your love story and is reflective of your personalities—like heading back to the location of your first date.

Now that everything is set, just relax and enjoy your prenup photoshoot session. Take advantage of the moment and focus on each other. And don’t forget to display your best photos on a Nixplay Frame that you can display in your home for all to see!

Nixplay Frames: The Perfect Complement To Wedding Photography

In Customer Testimonials

Having been a professional wedding photographer for over fifteen years, I’ve seen all types of photo albums to suit every style and budget. These beautiful storytelling devices become cherished heirlooms, treasured by families over the years. But as digital photography continues to evolve, wedding photographers would inevitably provide their clients with an increasing number of images.

Every year we shoot more and more—rarely under 1000 pictures per wedding. Social media and websites like Pinterest feed the bridal brainstorm, making it easier than ever to generate ideas for interesting wedding poses and add personal touches to the couple’s wedding. This necessitates more photos, and the traditional albums are simply unable to adapt to that quantity of images.

While there is still a valid argument for selecting the best images to feature in book format, Nixplay Frames broadens the conversation by offering a unique option: a digital showcase for a large number of images, letting you relive all of your wedding’s highlights over and over.

The nice thing about Nixplay Frames is that they can complement the traditional photo album. It doesn’t have to be a competition: You can put the choicest selections in the photo album for display on your coffee table, and save the lighthearted candid shots for your Nixplay Frame. There are plenty of images that, though memorable for the bride and groom, may not warrant being printed in an archival album or as a large wall print. The Nixplay Frame can be their home.

Since Nixplay Frames can hold so many images, it’s gratifying as a photographer to know that your photos will be seen, lived with and appreciated. We work hard to create something beautiful that will last forever, and it’s disappointing to see images stored on a hard drive or USB, never being printed and eventually forgotten. I personally appreciate the Nixplay frames for providing a satisfying counterpoint.

The frames’ Wi-Fi capability adds another immensely attractive feature. Unlike a traditional photo album, these frames can easily adapt to your household as it changes. You can continuously add pictures from your phone or device to your Nixplay Frame, interspersing new images with your wedding photographs. It lifts the limits of a traditional album and makes it a very easy piece to live with.

I am personally thrilled that larger sizes are being offered. I just received the 15-inch and I’m thrilled by the larger screen. This gives skilled photographers a way to showcase the finer details of their work. The bigger the screen and the higher the image quality, the more impact your work will have on the viewer. I relish the opportunity for people to see my work on a bigger scale so they can appreciate the quality and detail that I labored over.

If you’re still thinking of getting a Nixplay Frame, I advise you to take the plunge. These frames are the perfect complement to a professional photographer’s work.
