Pre-Wedding Preparations
The Importance of Pre-Wedding Shoots
I’ve learned from Andy that pre-wedding shoots are far more than just practice sessions. They are the opening chapters of a couple’s photographic journey. This preliminary shoot not only adds to the wedding narrative but also relieves camera-shyness, ensuring that on the wedding day, every pose feels natural and every smile is sincere.
