Behind the Scenes of our Pre-wedding Photoshoots

Prewedding photoshoots are a great alternative to engagement photos or even as an add on. Taking all of your photos in the dresses of your choice takes a lot off your plate for your actual wedding day. 

A prewedding photoshoot start off quite early into the day while its still sunny out! If it rains, no problem; you can always reschedule for a nicer day (unlike the date of your wedding in which you have to stick with rain or shine).

The day starts with our clients coming into the studio to get their hair perked and their makeup done professionally. Once they're all dressed into their wedding gown, accessories are available to choose from; tiaras, necklaces, bracelets, hair pieces, earrings... the whole nine yards!

After hours of boredom and sitting on the couch with their phones, the grooms finally get their chance to get their own hair & "manly" make-up done before suiting up. The couple now dressed to the nines, get a short tutorial on how to pose by John, our head photographer. Then off to the outdoor shoot!

Here's a mix of some of the behind the scene moments:

John, our head photographer takes us to the Vancouver Public Library where the couple gets a feel for their poses ~

Last summer, this couple decided to have a portion of their photoshoot on their friend's yacht. It was warm day with a nice breeze, and we still remember how the bride's white dress glimmered under the sunlight.

Yaletown's Cityview

To get to this stunning rocky waterfront area on English Bay, the bride had to fight her way down giant boulders and hundreds of small rocks in her wedding dress! Once we got back up those rocks, people on the seawall were clapping and cheering for the bride. In the end it was worthwhile and we'd do it all over again if it means getting these amazing shots in.

 In one of our recent pre-wedding photoshoots, this couple decided to bring in another family member to the studio shoot. To our surprise (and pleasure), it was this adorable border collie! She was born to be a doggy model and definitely contributed to the cutest little family portrait!
