Getting Ready for Pre-wedding Photoshoot

BEFORE THE PHOTOSHOOT

The Gown and the Suit

Make sure all bride’s gowns are altered and ready. Groom’s suits should be selected too. If there is any need for ethnic costumes like Kua, check if they have your size and remind them to reserve it for you on your photoshoot day.

The accessories and props

Prepare any accessories (e.g. ties, scarfs, shoes) or personal props (e.g. balloons, soft toys) you might wish to use on that day.

Locations vs Weather

Discuss with your photographer which locations you would like to go. You may also ask what they would do in case of contingencies (for example, rainy weather)

Ask your bridal coordinator what you need to bring on the actual day (besides the items below, they might have other requests).

The beauty

- Try to sleep early to prevent dark eye circles.
- Exercise as usual, but try not to get obvious tan lines that may show in your photos (although these can most probably be solved by photoshop).
- Maintain your facial and body regime. You can probably go for a facial or a body scrub a week before. Put on DIY face masks the last few days to keep your complexion radiant. Do not attempt to try new facial products at this time in case of breakouts!
- A manicure might be necessary as your photographer might take close-up shots of your hands with your wedding rings. This is best done one day before your photoshoot.

At Least One Week Before

List of Things to Prepare: Groom

- A few colour, long sleeve shirts. In different colours or styles for the groom to change into.
- A few ties
- A pair of black pants and/or white pants
- A pair of black formal shoes and black socks (white for Groom wearing a white suit)
- Cufflinks
- Dye or trim hair
- Do facial care
- Extra pair of frame (without lens) if need
- Send Wedding Bands for polishing

List of Things to Prepare: Bride

- Shoes to match actual wedding gown, evening gown, outdoor gown and/or traditional chinese costume
- Fitting of Gowns and alteration if required
- Do facial care
- A pair of skin-colour stockings, just in case
- Order Bridal Bouquet if not provided by bridal studio or makeup artist
- Dye or trim hair

One Day Before

- Check above items all prepared
- Buy fresh flowers (baby's breath, caspier, freesia, roses etc) to be used as hair accessories if you want
- Ensure delivery of Bridal Bouquet
- Prepare casual wear if interested
- Remove unsightly facial or body hair
- Go for manicure and pedicure
- Wash hair and make sure hair is dry before sleeping
- Do not apply any hair cream/gel/mousse
- Sleep early

In the Morning of Photoshoot

- Do not wash hair or apply any hair cream/gel/mousse on hair
- Have a good breakfast
- Bring Wedding Bands, Bridal Bouquet, fresh flowers for hair
- Bring all required clothings
- Bring any special accessories that you want to wear
- Bride to wear a spaghetti top, a tube top, a top with front buttons or bring along a bathrobe
- Bring any meaningful toys or items that you want to take photos with
- Bring Bottled water for both of you (include a straw for your convenience)
- Bring Light snacks that are easy to munch (in case you are hungry during outdoor photoshoot)
- Bring Tissue paper
- Bring Wet tissue (this comes in handy when you have to go barefoot at places like the beach)
- Bring Blotting paper (for blotting shiny spots)
- Bring a Mirror
- Your make-up pouch (lipstick, lipgloss, compact powder, spray on mist and any others)
- Umbrella (in case it rains suddenly)
- Insect repellant (if you are going to forested areas, beaches, parks)
- Any other accessories, if required.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE ON THAT DAY

- Wear a button-down or spaghetti top, so that it is easier for you to change into your gown after make-up.
- Do not bring too many valuables with you.
- Communicate with your make-up artist on the make-up style and hairdos for each gown.

Most importantly, remember to SMILE!!! The first few times, it may seem awkward in front of the camera, but gradually you will warm up to it. A good photographer will know how to help you relax and capture your most natural shot at the right time!
