10 Tips to Prepare For Your Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Singapore

Excited about your upcoming wedding? It's a HUGE life event that we must preserve with a Pre-Wedding Photoshoot!

But before you step into the spotlight, here are 10 essential tips from seasoned photographers to ensure your pre-wedding photoshoot is a picture-perfect experience:

1. Do hair & makeup trial before the photoshoot

Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! You get to have your wedding hair & makeup trial AND look pretty for your photoshoot. This way, you also get to save money on one additional hair/makeup session.

2. Bring Portable Fans

Singapore's climate can be toasty, especially outdoors. Pack portable fans to keep yourselves cool and comfortable during the shoot. You don't want to be shining in sweat during the photoshoot!

Alternatively, you can opt to have your PWS at indoor locations, away from the heat and humidity.

3. Bring Insect Repellent

If your chosen location is outdoors, pack insect repellent to keep those pesky mosquitos at bay. They become more active during golden hour.

4. Start 1 hour before sunset

Schedule your photoshoot for the hour before sunset, also known as the "golden hour." This timeframe offers the most flattering natural light, creating a warm and romantic ambiance for your photos.

5. Bring an extra pair of comfortable shoes/slippers

This will allow you to walk and navigate the photoshoot location with ease, and you can change into your stunning heels right before each shot.

6. Avoid getting tan lines before the PWS

Apply sunscreen religiously for several months leading up to the photoshoot.

7. Show your photographer a mood board for inspo

We recommend pinning your favourite couple photoshoots on Instagram/Pinterest. These mood boards can align your photographer with your vision for the photoshoot. You can also use it for inspiration on how to POSE for the camera!

8. Wear nude & seamless underwear

For a smooth and seamless look under your wedding gown, especially strapless styles, opt for nude, seamless underwear.

9. Think of some funny stories or romantic memories you share with your partner

During the photoshoot, have some of these fun memories handy! Focus on connecting with your partner instead of acting posey. This way, you can create genuine smiles and laughter and look super candid.

10. Don't forget the details!

Make sure that your nails are well-groomed. And don't forget to wear your engagement ring!
