Consider having your pictures done on a weekday

Book ahead of time

Photographers get booked really quickly and may offer more affordable prices the earlier you book. After interviewing past couples, we recommend booking at least a few months in advance. It will save you a lot of stress — trust us!

 

 

Ask if there are any special package

Choose outfits carefully

Pre-wedding photoshoot always put couples in that 'twin' mood, making you feel like yes! we are now together, and so it was the best to go local and simple. You may go in for your work uniforms, a very simple African print and fewer designs it saves money.

 

Consider your location carefully

It is easy to assume outdoor photo shoot locations (such as parks) are free, however, this is not always the case. Venues such as national gardens or historical buildings may require an entry fee. Also, some also require you pay for a photography permit or at least book ahead of time. Make sure to check on this to avoid an unexpected cost.

 

Hair & Makeup
