Why Pre-Wedding Photoshoot Is Worth It
- Get comfortable with the camera & your photographer: You’ll learn how you pose, how lighting works, and build trust with the photographer—so on the wedding day, things feel seamless.
- Create beautiful images to use in invitations, social media, décor: Many couples use pre-wedding shots for save-the-date cards, wedding websites, or photo booths.
- More creative freedom: You can choose beautiful outdoor or unique locations, shoot leisurely, and try bold styles or outfits that you might not on the wedding day.
- Budget-friendly compared to full wedding shoots: Pre-wedding shoots are generally shorter and simpler, so you can allocate cost wisely.

How to Save Cost But Still Get Great Photos
- Choose local & accessible locations — minimize travel or permit fees.
- Limit outfits — instead of 3–4, use 1–2 striking looks.
- Shorter shoot duration — 1–2 hours is enough for many couples.
- Request a digital-only package — skip prints or albums, especially for pre-wedding.
- Book off-peak times or weekdays — studios may offer lower rates on non-peak days.
- Bundle with wedding package — many studios offer discounts if you hire them for the wedding too.
- Negotiate add-ons — ask which features are extras (drone, extra retouching) and include only what you value most.
- Preview proofs before full edit — so edits don’t have to be redone.
Tips to Make Your Pre-Wedding Shoot Shine
- Plan outfits that contrast / complement the setting (bright vs neutral).
- Bring accessories or props (flowers, shawls, umbrellas) to add mood.
- Time your shoot near golden hour (early morning or before sunset) for flattering light.
- Communicate with your photographer about mood, concept, poses, photo inspirations.
- Be relaxed and natural — candid moments often become favorites.
- Check weather and have backup plan (indoor or shaded spots) in case of rain or harsh sunlight.
Why Choose Shoaib Production / What You Should Convey to Your Studio
If you’re using Shoaib Production (or approaching studios), here’s what to expect or negotiate:
- 17+ years of experience gives reliability and creative vision (this is a strong selling point).
- Request a portfolio of full pre-wedding shoots (not just highlights) to judge consistency.
- Ask about delivery timeline — when will proof images arrive? When full gallery?
- Confirm rights & usage — whether you can use images freely for prints, social media, invitations.
- Agree on extra costs in writing — for travel, drone permits, extra hours, props.
- Check whether makeup & hair styling are included or need separate arrangement.
- If you have specific locations in mind (e.g. Lahore Fort, Shalimar Gardens), ask about permission or location fees ahead.
