2018.02.18 published

Let's Create a Guideline Before the Pre-Wedding Shoot!

To all the brides who are about to have their pre-wedding shoot, do you know what a guideline for the shoot is?

A pre-wedding guideline is a booklet that summarizes requests like “I want this pose or this angle for the pictures”＊

By handing this pre-wedding guideline to your photographer,

- You can progress through the shooting efficiently without worrying about poses

- You can prevent forgetting to take the wedding photos you absolutely want

- You can expand your imagination by looking at many photos from senior brides

There are so many benefits＊

Therefore, it is one of the convenient items that you want to prepare in advance if you are a bride about to have a pre-wedding shoot.

Steps to Create a Pre-Wedding Guideline＊

Now, let me introduce the steps to create a pre-wedding guideline＊

① Collect photos you want to take for the pre-wedding shoot from social media or the internet

② Paste the collected photos onto a Word or Excel document on your computer

③ Print it out

④ Write detailed comments about the poses

➡ Done!

It's very easy to create this guideline, but the most important thing is to create it in a way that is easy for the photographer to understand and looks good!

Here are some tips to keep in mind when creating the pre-wedding guideline＊

Tip ① Include many photos on one page

When creating your pre-wedding guideline, the best tip is to include as many photos as possible on one page＊

The reason is that for the photographer, having 10 or 20 separate pages makes it very difficult to flip through the papers and confirm each pose one by one.

Therefore, it seems to be extremely helpful to summarize about 1 to 3 smaller photos on one page♩

Tip ② Mark the photos you absolutely want to take

However, it seems that many brides tend to cram too many photos into the pre-wedding guideline with “I want this and that”＊

This can end up resulting in not having enough time to take all the photos, or forgetting poses altogether...

So, for the photos listed in the guideline that you particularly want to capture, it is recommended to mark them distinctly with symbols like ☆ to make them stand out♡

Tip ③ Create a list of shooting props

Many DIY brides likely made shooting props before the pre-wedding shoot＊ However, on the actual day, due to nerves or fatigue, many might end up forgetting to use the props they brought for the photos...

That would be sad and regrettable.

Therefore, whether in photos or text, it is a good idea to include a list of the props you brought in your guideline＊

The photographer can also remind you with comments like “We haven’t taken photos with these yet~”♩

To have a wonderful pre-wedding shoot, make sure to prepare the guideline＊

On the day of the shoot, it’s quite rare for brides to respond immediately when asked, “What pose do you want to take?”＊

However, if you have created a pre-wedding guideline with many of your favorite poses picked out, it is certain that you will be able to create unforgettable pre-wedding photos without regrets.

Let’s start by searching for the wedding photos you want to capture♩
