Dawn of Pre-Nup Photo Shoots


“Prenuptial photos are professionally shot photographs of the soon-to-wed couple, taken before their wedding day. They’re unusually more informal than the traditional wedding pictures taken on the church steps or before the altar, and can center on themes or places you and your fiancé have in mind. While they’re not absolutely necessary, many couples opt to get them as additional keepsakes for the wedding or as mementoes to showcase during the reception or include with the giveaways. “ - Points and Clicks: Prenuptial photo shoot basics revealed by Zoe Gabe (Manila Bulletin) 

Over the years, we have seen the growth in the wedding industry. Wedding expos and fairs nowadays are frequently organized, starting from January until the last quarter of the year, by many different event planners. Weddings have truly become an industry of its own rite, spawning suppliers competing to book as many soon-to-weds as they can in a year. 

Truth be told, being a supplier for a wedding is a very lucrative venture. A one day affair of a couple celebrating their love with their friends and family, takes so much planning and preparation. It is no wonder that many suppliers target soon-to-weds, and are eager to pay a hefty amount just to join wedding expos, where soon-to-wed couples are plentiful. Among the many suppliers that keep amassing the wedding fair booths; apart from venues, catering, make-up, and couture, is photography. Of course, what’s a wedding without having any documentation of those memorable moments of your special occasion. The development and obtainability of digital cameras have paved the way for many photographers to set up shop.

“Prenup photo shoots have really come a long way. From simple studio sessions, prenups have evolved into semi-grand productions that rival, and sometimes even surpass, some ad or magazine shoots. Location shoots are all the rage now with couples having their prenups at vacation spots here and out of the country. Adventurous couples collaborate with their photographers and constantly push the envelope when it comes to exciting concepts for their prenup. The resulting shoot may range from quirky to romantic, but they are always personal.” Points and Clicks: Prenuptial photo shoot basics revealed by Zoe Gabe (Manila Bulletin) 

Perhaps our grandparents and parents are not too familiar with the pre-nuptial photo shoot. But nowadays, it has become a ubiquitous trend. Couples give as much attention to their prenuptial photo shoot as importantly as any other aspect of their wedding. Through time, photography suppliers have found ingenious ways to make a prenuptial shoot even more exciting and enjoyable for the wedding party. They  tap stylists and produce props to the extent of providing a set to cater to the different interests of soon-to-wed couples. Photographers and couples have upped the standards of these photo shoots every year, and have truly become a must for every wedding.
