A lot depends on the venue for your shoot. You’ll want to pick out props and ideas that suit the space. Even your outfit should match the place. Do a recce of the venue once with your photographer and discuss the shots you guys want to take.
Plan your look – Different styles for the wedding book

Its shopping time! Put together a full ensemble that complements the shoot idea. If you’re aiming for dreamy Bollywood clicks then opt for something long & flowy that the photographer can play up. Solid colours and simple styles work best to bring out the setting AND you. Upto 3 wardrobe changes are a good bet, any more than that you’ll waste too much time and later fret! From a soul sister to your sole – Keep flats handy for between shots, the heels throughout can tire you a lot! 😱
Schedule YOUR time – Pull out 2 days

Shoots usually happen way early in the morning, consider this a warning! Plan for a light work day before the shoot, looking haggard and grumpy on the day will make all your efforts moot 😱
Ps. – Do not Rush, You can’t hurry mush! Keep your entire day free because a great photo shoot is going to take time.
BeaUtiful Ideas – It’s YOUR shoot after all!
